Milwaukee hip-hop mainstay Grant Fore is back, and this time he’s serving up a project with a title that practically dares you to press play. “Cocaine & COUGARS” is the latest offering from the Cream City rapper, and it lands with the kind of unfiltered swagger that has kept Grant Fore on Milwaukee’s rap radar for years now.

Grant Fore has been quietly (and sometimes not-so-quietly) building one of the more prolific catalogs in the local scene, with a steady drip of singles and full-length projects that pull from classic boom-bap sensibilities while keeping one boot planted firmly in modern Midwestern rap. Fresh off recent releases like the single “D.A.M.N.” and his ongoing “I’M A GIANT” series, “Cocaine & COUGARS” continues his hot streak with a title that reads like the tagline to a movie you’d absolutely rent on a Friday night in 2004.

The project leans into character, humor, and that specific brand of grown-man raunch that Milwaukee rap does so well. It’s cinematic, it’s a little unhinged, and it never takes itself too seriously — which is exactly why it works. Grant Fore has always understood that the best hip-hop is equal parts personality and craft, and “Cocaine & COUGARS” delivers on both fronts without breaking a sweat.

Stream the full release on Bandcamp below, and if you’re a fan of Milwaukee rap that isn’t afraid to have a little fun with itself, you’ll want to add this one to the rotation.
