“Push & Paint” Celebrates 313 Day with Bruiser Wolf Embracing a Heavy Bay Area Influence (Album Review)

Here is the 5th studio LP from Detroit, Michigan emcee Bruiser Wolf. A member of the Bruiser Brigade collective, his 2021 solo debut Dope Game Stupid would become an experimentally gangsta & comedic gem although the sophomore effort My Story Got Stories was more moderately received a couple years ago. Both of his last couple albums Potluck & Made by Dope produced by Harry Fraud respectively have become his most celebrated material thus far, looking to Push & Paint for 313 Day.

Payroll Giovanni appears on the intro & final single “Hater Not an Opp” explaining that the only thing both of them have on their minds is the product moving in & out prior to Akeem Ali joining Bruiser for the lead single talking about having a “Common Goal” over a Mobb beat. That said, it wasn’t necessarily my favorite teaser of the 3. “Ole Girl” featuring P-Lo finds the 2 asking women if they may have this dance while “Toxic” featuring Sada Baby goes for a hyphy vibe instrumentally talking about all of their bitches being the poisonous type.

The 2nd half begins with this animated beat admitting that he isn’t good with “Numbers” hence why he doesn’t call hoes while “Ask Yourself” featuring GT links up to make people question if they can fuck with the real ones. “Why They Play Me?” featuring Babytron talks about people loving their flows every city they hit up but once “She a Bill” featuring Sheefy McFly himself describes a woman who fit the receipt similarly to a wallet, “Wannabees” concludes Push & Paint takes a dig at those who want to be hip hop’s answer to the Warner Bros.-owned Quick Draw McGraw/Yogi Bear Show character Snagglepuss.

Receiving a huge co-sign from 2-time NBA Champion Kevin Durant this past fall, Bruiser Wolf’s way of celebrating 313 Day is pretty solid even if it doesn’t blow me away the same way Made by Dope or Potluck did. Sheefy McFly’s production here is mainly reminiscent of the Mobb & hyphy west coast hip hop scenes which is cool since I’ve heard some comparisons between him & E-40, except there a couple features I could’ve done without & it does pick up towards the backend of it.

Score: 7/10
