The secret’s out: Your Old Droog is not some gruff-voiced alter-ego of Nas. Although the cat was swiftly let out of the bag (if there was even a cat in the bag to begin with), the mysterious Coney Island, N.Y., MC has kept people talking. His latest track is proof why.

“I spread knowledge through hate and educate / You cater to the masses, the dumbasses,” he spits, just in case you were unsure about which side of the hip-hop fence Droog lies.
