48 hours following it’s announcement, Ukrainian-American lyricist Your Previous Droog’s tenth EP is right here. Breaking out by means of his self-titled debut, many really first thought he was an alter ego of Nas on condition that their voices are considerably comparable. He ultimately grew to become a legend in his personal proper off later tasks equivalent to Packs in addition to It Wasn’t Even Shut, 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 actually had their highlights on the identical time. Film grew to become an outline of his life on wax & needs y’all to know something‘s potential.
“Sport 7” produced by Khrysis begins with a soul pattern explaining that apply being an important factor whereas “Confetti” that includes Rely Bass D finds each of them speaking about being prepared & able to really feel the tiny items of streamers raining down. “No Extra” 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.
Actually the one different time we’ve gotten to listen to YOD in 2025 was his characteristic on “The Rose Bowl”off The Excessive & Mighty’s reunion album Sound of Market, so it makes me comfortable 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 Film’s was 17 months in the past with the optimistic title of something’s potential enjoying an enormous function relating to thematics.
