Your Old Droog

By Michael Madden Go 95.3 has filled a conspicuous gap in becoming the Twin Cities’ only modern hip-hop radio station, and it’s done a fine job of spotlighting local talent in addition to mainstream artists. It’s a combination that will come to life with the station’s first Go Show, hosted by Mr. Peter Parker. Curren$y, the endlessly quotable New Orleans drawler, is the main attraction, a month removed from the latest addition to his ever-mounting discography, the Carrollton Heist mixtape. Representing the East Coast will be Brooklyn’s Your Old Droog, a no-nonsense technician that some listeners originally believed to be an alter ego of Nas, though his dry wit is distinctly his own. As for the Twin Cities, Doomtree member Sims, Greg Grease, and GRRRL PRTY’s Sophia Eris are slated to go to bat for the local scene that Parker & Co. lend airtime to in between the latest hits from Drizzy, Nicki, and Cole.
