Yasiin Bey, Just Blaze and Madlib are among the names tapped to appear on Your Old Droog‘s forthcoming album, Movie.

Last week, the Brooklyn-based rapper revealed some of the contributors to the project, which will arrive on June 21.

“S/o Madlib, Yasiin Bey, Just Blaze, Harry Fraud, Conductor, Ohbliv And everybody else who contributed to this body of work… Can’t wait for yall to hear it,” he wrote before later elaborating on the road to its release.

“My forthcoming studio Album ‘Movie’ is set for release on June 21st.I won’t give away the plot but this ALBUM means a whole lot to me. It took almost two years to complete and it’s finally here. One day it just came to me…”

Weeks prior to the announcement, Madlib and Your Old Droog teamed up with Black Thought for a collab titled “Reekyod.” The song finds the Roots MC and Droog trading verses over dusty production from the Beat Konducta.

They say the root of all evil is light green/ Make many a wife leave pursuing the right dream/ I met a few on the last train from nowhere/ The reason I reside in the fast lane is to go there,” Black Thought raps.

Seamlessly taking the baton, Droog then spits: “Never wanted fame, I came to dissolve this/ Conspiracy theory and clear me of the false charges/ Rescue your ears from that hot garbage/ Everything I spit shine, I’ma get mine regardless.”

The song was released via Madlib’s Madlib Invazion imprint, but there’s no word on whether it may live on Droog’s Movie or elsewhere.

During his appearance on his bandmate Questlove‘s Questlove Supreme podcast in December, Black Thought named Your Old Droog as one of his current favorite MCs – despite admitting he didn’t initially like him because “he sounded too much like Nas.”

“I met him on the road opening up for Royce [Da 5’9″] and [DJ] Premier when they were doing their PRhyme tour and we sort of hit it off,” he said. “I talk about mentorship and, you know, just artists that we share demos with one another and I’m able to offer wisdom […] he’s been one of those artists.”
