Madlib and Your Old Droog continue to build and strengthen their work relationship with another new single "REEKYOD." This is now the second offering we have received from this acclaimed duo in the last few weeks. "DBZ" was their last effort and that lyrical powerhouse of a track included extra bars from Denzel Curry and Method Man. On that single, Denzel was making some noise on it by apparently dissing Kendrick Lamar. "'Cause using big words don't make you lyrical / And going backwards in a swimmin' pool don't make you spiritual." While "REEKYOD" does not have any subliminal shots, it does have gritty production and adept lyrics from Droog and Black Thought.
According to Stereogum, Madlib and Droog are gearing up to drop a collaboration album in the near future. For the decorated producer, it will be his third project of the year, following up YHWH is LOVE and Liberation 2. For the Brooklynite, it will be his first record in about a year and a half since YOD Presents: The Shining. According to The Source, Droog shared how thrilled he was to be a part of this song, as well as the project on the way.
