48 hours following it’s announcement, Ukrainian-American lyricist Your Old Droog’s tenth EP is right here. Breaking out via his self-titled debut, many truly first thought he was an alter ego of Nas provided that their voices are considerably related. He finally grew to become a legend in his personal proper off later initiatives similar to Packs in addition to It Wasn’t Even Close, TIME & the Nicholas Craven-produced YOD Wave. The 4 final EPs he’s given us YOD Stewart, Yodney Dangerfield, The Yodfather & The Shining weren’t as nice in my view but most definitely had their highlights on the similar time. Movie grew to become an outline of his life on wax & needs y’all to know something‘s potential.
“Game 7” produced by Khrysis begins with a soul pattern explaining that apply being an important factor whereas “Confetti” that includes Count Bass D finds each of them speaking about being keen & able to really feel the tiny items of streamers raining down. “No More” goes for a rap rock vibe admitting this shit doesn’t really feel particular anymore & after “Vanilla Fudge” flexes that not many can see him with the grammar, “Bronny” finishes by speaking about having sons within the recreation already over a Kenny Segal instrumental.
Literally the one different time we’ve gotten to listen to YOD in 2025 was his function on “The Rose Bowl”off The High & Mighty’s reunion album Sound of Market, so it makes me pleased he gave us a 12 minute prolonged play to carry followers off till Droogie Otis’ extremely anticipated full-length debut. The manufacturing feels equally constant as Movie’s was 17 months in the past with the optimistic title of something’s potential taking part in an enormous function concerning thematics.
Score: 8/10
