Your Old Droog Talks Madlib Connection, Dallas Mavericks Fandom & Ye’s Anti-Semitic Comments
Your Old Droog caught up with 'Billboard' following the release of his 'Movie' album. Check out the Brooklyn rapper dish on his LP, Ye and more.
Do a quick Google search for Droog (born Dmitry Kutsenko) interviews, and you’ll notice there aren’t many since he made waves on the scene about a decade ago — when rap fans ran with a conspiracy theory he was actually Nas undercover. Growing up, whenever Droog would see a supernatural stunt in a film, his parents would reply in Russian, “Movie!” He bottled that energy up to get his Martin Scorsese on and direct his own blockbuster with this album. The 35-year-old has compiled quite the Rolodex of collaborators over his career, as he connects on this album with producers like king of the underground Madlib, Conductor Williams and the legendary Roc-A-Fella orchestrator Just Blaze.
