Detroit Rapper Bruiser Wolf Delivers Captivating Performance with Fraud-Produced Album

Detroit rapper Bruiser Wolf has been making waves in the local scene, thanks to his distinctive voice that can command attention from across a crowded room. In the years since his 2021 breakout album 'Dope Game Stupid', Bruiser Wolf has been searching for the right production style to complement his jaunting soliloquies, laced with drug dealing capers and metaphors.

His 2025 release 'My Story Got Stories' saw Bruiser Wolf experiment with more restrained sample loops and conventional structures, which threatened to tame his magnetic eccentricities. However, his latest collaboration with producer Harry Fraud, titled 'Made by Dope', appears to be a "tempered course correction" from that previous effort.

The 11-track 'Made by Dope' drills deeper into Bruiser Wolf's conversational writing style, with Fraud's production creating a sense of the rapper yelping from a sky-blue lowrider Impala. The opulent compositions allow Bruiser Wolf's voice to shine, with highlights including the angelic chorus on "Layup Lines" and the swirling gospel sermon on "Against the Odds." While the project may not necessarily break new ground, it showcases Bruiser Wolf's captivating performance and Fraud's ability to craft beats that complement the rapper's unique style.
