About Conor Herbert

Hey! I’m Conor, a Melbourne-based hip hop fan and unabashed Kanye stan. My work explores records by way of the samples within, contextualizing the tracks and sounds that have helped shape hip hop for decades. I love bringing new, unique and engaging content to fans who share my interest in the inner workings of artistry. Beyond my passion for music, I’m a screenwriter, though I’m sure I won’t feel like I’ve made it until I work with Janelle Monáe. She’s so great.

These laid-back rhymes find as much ease slipping from coast to coast and beyond as Your Old Droog does circumnavigating the globe himself. An effortlessly chill loop, cooked up by Tha God Fahim, underpins the bars with production that rolls out the extravagance of a red carpet entrance with the subtley of slipping through a side door.
