Black Thought, Madlib and Your Old Droog have teamed up for a new collaboration \u2014 listen to it below.<\/p>\n

Released on Wednesday (May 1), \u201cReekyod\u201d finds the Roots MC and New York-via-Ukraine rapp<\/a>er trading verses over dusty production from the Beat Konducta.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey 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<\/em>,\u201d Black Thought raps.<\/p>\n

Seamlessly taking the baton, Droog then spits: \u201cNever 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\u2019ma get mine regardless.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The song was released via Madlib\u2019s Madlib Invazion imprint, but there\u2019s no word on whether it\u2019s part of a bigger project or just a standalone single.<\/p>\n

Black Thought revealed that Madlib had \u201cbombarded\u201d him with around 100 beats during his appearance on his bandmate Questlove\u2018s Questlove Supreme<\/em> podcast in December.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes I\u2019m writing not to beats but it\u2019s more exciting for me to write to beats,\u201d he said. \u201cI got a batch of joints from Madlib, for example. Like, maybe two to three weeks ago. He hit me, he was like, \u2018Yo, Monday, I\u2019ma start bombarding you with joints.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cBoom, Monday rolls around, he sends me like 100 beats. And then I got the beats, I narrowed it down to like 18 and I started vibing to those joints. But you know, it\u2019s exciting now for me to come home and dig through that collection.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Philadelphia rap veteran also said he flew to Los Angeles and spent time in the studio with the elusive producer.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a couple sessions in L.A. over the weekend,\u201d he said. \u201cI came back. So that\u2019s what I\u2019ve been chipping away at. I went to L.A. to do a book event at USC, but the studio is my church \u2014 that\u2019s where I feel most at home.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo if there\u2019s any possibility for me to go and sit in a studio some place and hear music and chill and smoke and be social<\/a>, whatever, whether I\u2019m actively working on a thing or not, that\u2019s what I\u2019m gonna opt for.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the same podcast episode, Black Thought named Your Old Droog as one of his current favorite MCs, despite admitting he didn\u2019t initially like him because \u201che sounded too much like Nas.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI met him on the road opening up for Royce [Da 5\u20199\u2033] and [DJ] Premier when they were doing their PRhyme tour and we sort of hit it off,\u201d he said. \u201cI talk about mentorship and, y\u2019know, just artists that we share demos with one another and I\u2019m able to offer wisdom [\u2026] he\u2019s been one of those artists.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
