Your Old Droog has assembled a murderer’s row of lyricists for “Pravda,” the latest single from his upcoming album Dump YOD: Krutoy Edition. El-P, Black Thought, Mach-Hommy, and Tha God Fahim all make mincemeat over a simple, nearly drum-less sample flip of a beat, the perfect humble backdrop for their dense bars. El-P references the Nicolas Cage film Mandy, Mach-Hommy and Tha God Fahim hold their own despite being young upstarts, and Black Thought closes things out by, well, being Black Thought. Press play above.
“This track is more of a quarantine freestyle session than anything that remotely resembles standard song structure,” Droog said in a press relaese. “It’s the first thing I recorded in isolation and the rest of the features just naturally unfolded.” You can enjoy this song, plus more with presumably standard song structures, on Dump YOD: Krutoy Edition, out December 4.
