Episode 290- The Stylistics of Rap with guest Bruiser Wolf

Dad Bod Rap Pod is back after our brief winter break. This week we have a great interview with returning guest Bruiser Wolf. Since bursting onto the scene as part of Danny Brown's Bruiser Brigade a few years ago, Wolf has carved out a unique lane for himself with a lilting, melodic flow comprised of off kilter couplets and observational wordplay that can skew either funny, enlightening, or devastating. His last record, Dope Game Stupid, is a cult classic and a favorite of ours, something we often find ourselves re-listening to. Now Bruiser is back, stepping his game up with the new LP My Story Got Stories. Featuring production from Raphy, Harry Fraud and others, this outing sees Wolf expanding his sonic palette while doubling down on his storytelling chops, his delightfully off the wall rhyme schemes, and his relatable tales of Detroit street life. This is a really fun episode, as DBRP hosts Demone Carter, Nate LeBlanc and David Ma share a palpable excitement to be back recording together. We catch up on what we have been up to since we last spoke, as well as the non sequitur pop culture breakdowns you have come to expect. Big shouts as always to Stony Island Audio, the hip-hop podcast network with shows you can actually listen to.
