Your Old Droog – It Wasnt Event Close (Unoffical Release)

Released in 2019, It Wasn't Even Close is a masterfully crafted, underground hip-hop gem from Brooklyn heavyweight Your Old Droog. Dropping unexpectedly to critical acclaim, the album firmly establishes Droog outside the shadow of any past comparisons, cementing his status as one of the sharpest penmen in the modern indie scene. Sonically, the project feels like a cinematic tour through gritty New York alleys, entirely powered by dusty, lo-fi boom-bap production from underground architects like sadhu gold, Evidence, and Tha God Fahim. Lyrically, Droog is in top tier form, packing all 13 tracks with complex rhyme schemes, dark humor, and encyclopedic pop-culture references alongside incredible guest verses from icons like MFDOOM and Mach-Hommy. Raw, uncompromising, and deeply atmospheric, this record is a must-have for crate-diggers who appreciate pure, unadulterated hip-hop.
