PUSH! Montana joins the Gangsta Grillz franchise, as DJ Drama puts together When PUSH! Comes To Shove, Vol 2, the latest mixtape effort from the Brooklyn spitter and a decent step forward in the effort to make a name for himself in the crowded new New York street rap scene.
In comparison to the veteran styling of the previous posting, a look at Fat Joe’s The Darkside 2, PUSH! Montana comes off a bit more believable, youthfully hungry and occasionally clever with his gritty verbiage and delivery. DJ Drama’s Gangsta Grillz mixtapes follow a wining formula, and this continues on When PUSH! Comes To Shove, a mix of recognizable tracks, more obscure instrumentals and original production, smooth transitions, decent features and just enough trash talking to not be a turn off.
PUSH! Montana’s “big brother” Maino makes an appearance on “Last of the Mohicans,” a hauntingly frantic Jokey Ent. production, which is a good example of the type of content, style and energy PUSH! Montana is bringing to the game. With the bump from a Gangsta Grillz release, push from Maino’s camp, and decent products like When PUSH! Comes To Shove, Vol. 2, PUSH! may be the Montana of New York hip hop hop that takes a few steps out of the shadows.
