Born in Ukraine and raised in Brooklyn, Your Old Droog has become a key figure in the modern hip hop landscape. With three acclaimed 2021 projects already in the books, the master author is wrapping up the year in style with the new album Space Bar, now available worldwide. Evoking a tavern located deep within the realms of a top secret galaxy, the collection features appearances by Lil Ugly Mane, billy woods, Tha God Fahim, and Nickelus F.
Despite Droog’s prolific output, each of his releases are meticulously crafted, and Space Bar is no exception. “This album was conceptualized around the same time as It Wasn’t Even Close,” YOD explains. “Throughout the years, it has evolved and taken on many different forms and shapes.” With beats by 88 Keys, Nicholas Craven, SadhuGold, and Elaquent, Space Bar finds Your Old Droog serving up intoxicating lyricism over spaced-out production, exploring unseen terrains.
“Here we are, in Space. A Bar in Space, at that. Drink up!” – YOD

Flee Lord has had a meteoric rise in the last couple of years. With monthly releases in 2020 he pushed his way into the upper echelon of underground Hip-Hop. In 2021 he has largely focused on developing his Lord Mobb crew and label. However, he wasn’t going to let a year pass without giving heads at least a few high grade offerings. He dropped a full-length album titled “Delgado” with the infallible Roc Marciano on production. And this week he will gift listeners a collab project with songstres Tiona Deniece, who is best known for her work with Westside Gunn and Griselda.
The first leak off the album is “All I Need,” a fusion of Rap and R&B in the vein of Mary J. Blige and Method Man’s classic single of the same name. Producer Spitzwell serves up a cascading piano sample that leaves plenty of room for Tiona’s plush vocals.

Barbados officially became a republic on Tuesday, ending nearly 400 years of British rule.
The island’s most famous citizen, Rihanna, was on hand to witness the celebration, which formally cut ties with Queen Elizabeth II. It took place in Barbados’ capital, Bridgetown, where a young Robyn Fenty was raised before she moved to the U.S. to pursue a music career.
During the ceremony, the newly-independent country swore in its first president, Sandra Mason, while Rihanna was declared a National Hero. Prime Minister Mia Mottley honored the billionaire pop star for commanding “the imagination of the world” with her excellence, creativity, discipline and, “above all else, her extraordinary commitment to the land of her birth,” according to The New York Times.
“May you continue to shine like a diamond and bring honor to your nation by your works, by your actions,” said Mottley in a nod to Rihanna’s 2012 hit “Diamonds.”
Rihanna is only the 11th person to receive this honor and the second woman.
“This is a day that I would never ever forget, it’s also a day that I never saw coming,” she said while celebrating her Caribbean roots. “Barbadians are proud people. We are probably the proudest people I know. And no matter where I go in the world, I take that pride with me. No matter where we go, the world is gonna know that we Bajan to the bone.”
She continued, “I’m so proud to be a Bajan. I’m gonna be a Bajan till the day I die. This is still the only place I’ve ever called home. I love Barbados. I love you guys and I pray that the youth continue to push Barbados forward.”
A humbled Rihanna also addressed the Prime Minister. “I have traveled the world and received several awards and recognitions, but nothing compares to being recognized in the soil that you grew in, so I thank you so much for this.”
Britain’s Prince Charles was also in attendance to receive the Order of Freedom of Barbados.
