Your Old Droog - Space Bar ALBUM REVIEW
By the way, I’m very happy Droog beat the ‘sounds like Nas’ allegations.
Your Old Droog is a relatively new name in the rap landscape to me, but with his other three drops from this year, including the incredibly personal TIME, which is one of the best rap albums of this year, I was excited for whatever Droog would drop next. The bar was set incredibly high a couple weeks ago because of the mind-melting single “Meteor Man” with Lil Ugly Mane and billy woods. With Space Bar, can Droog continue his hot streak and close out his stellar 2021 with a bang? Let’s find out.
Similar to TIME, this has a loose concept about space. I’d honestly call it an aesthetic more than a concept, but it works in favor of what Droog is going for. With production from SadhuGold, 88 Keys, Nicholas Craven, and Elaquent, it sets an incredible soundscape for this intergalactic journey. His writing is still just as good as always, and even if I do personally prefer TIME, there’s still a cool atmosphere here to be enjoyed. Also, “Meteor Man” is easily one of the best songs of the year. It’s tough to pick a favorite verse, but woods really did blow me away. I do think that Space Bar is a good showcase from one of the rap game’s most underrated artists right now. Your Old Droog takes the listener on a ride through space and demonstrates his love for hip-hop.
