about
Dmity Kutsenko, known by his stage name Your Old Droog, is a Ukrainian-born American rapper and producer from Brooklyn, New York. He first gained public attention in June 2014 when online rumors were circulated that his self-published debut EP was actually recorded by veteran New York rapper Nas under an alter ego, before revealing himself in August of that year as a 25-year-old Ukrainian American. His self-titled debut album was released digitally on November 25, 2014. The name "Droog" comes from the Ukrainian word 'друг' meaning "friend". After his debut was named one of the top albums of the year by both The New York Times and Rolling Stone, Your Old Droog has gone on to release several more widely acclaimed projects, including PACKS, and It Wasn’t Even Close. He has also collaborated with like-minded peers, including DOOM, El-P, Black Thought, Mach-Hommy, Danny Brown, and Roc Marciano. Even as his buzz grows larger, Your Old Droog remains independent, maintaining full creative control over his music and career.
