He’s ventured into the film & TV world with his own food travel show Fuck, That’s Delicious, and a nightly food talk show The Untitled Action Bronson Show. On the music scene, he boasts a collection of projects, including work with talented producers like Harry Fraud, Statik Selektah, and The Alchemist. The New York native has a lengthy resume filled with all types of highlight placements. The RX is the music you need, right now.Īction Bronson knows his roles and he plays them all well. Inclusion in this category is the highest distinction we can bestow, and signals the most important music being released throughout the year. Whisper it, but just maybe Bronson is beginning to lose his hunger.The RX is Uproxx Music’s stamp of approval for the best albums, songs, and music stories throughout the year. But those distractions don't make 'White Bronco' any less underwhelming. And any criticism towards Bronson's approach will probably just bounce off him–after all, he's got bigger fish to fry with his TV shows and film appearances.
He's a gifted natural rhymer and has a commanding presence to rival any of golden age hip-hop's finest. No Action Bronson album could ever be described as dull, especially when he's spitting on retro production. The only major departure is the dreamy synth-led closer Swerve On Em, which sounds like a cut by guest star A$AP Rocky that Bronson has drunkenly wandered in on. Bronson's Irishman Freestyle, a theme for the upcoming Martin Scorsese film he's been cast in, is bursting with character and the perfect palette for his irreverent imagery (“I'm butt naked with the Uzi on Broadway”). The production, courtesy of Harry Fraud, Party Supplies, Knxwledge and Daringer, is remarkably unified, honing in on ‘70s funk and soul ala Madlib's 'Pinata' beats. It's a shame because aesthetically there's much to enjoy here. Sure, he might strut with an “alligator pimp cane” (Picasso's Ear) and produce albums that are “only for dolphins” (Mt Etna), but these are generally snapshots into his psyche that appear on brief one-verse cuts that don't go anywhere.

But the hilariously descriptive verses he dropped on 'Rare Chandeliers' or his 'Blue Chips' series are frustratingly sporadic here. Bronson plays, for all intents and purposes, the character of a drug-addled chef with a death-defying swagger and a taste for indulgence. It's the sort of wild freestyle you throw out in an associative flurry, as any rapper who's jumped in a cypher will verify.įans may argue that's kind of the point. On the outlandish guitar-backed cut Telemundo, for example, he jumps from “'Bout to get this paper like Judge Judy.all these drugs just run through me” to “Now I'm shredding the guitar on a mountain, God damn, something groovy”.
The majority of tracks here are composed of expendable verses which, even for Bronson, appear to bear no conceptual significance at any point. Too much of this snappy 26-minute LP feel undercooked–which is, yes, ironic due to his reputation as a master chef. And 'White Bronco', unfortunately, is very light on that. These elements don't necessarily add up to a minus, but there's a sense they're needlessly superficial when placed alongside the actual content. Bronson probably knows that given the fact he litters all his projects with incongruous ad libs, absurd references and samples seemingly hand picked from the dark side of YouTube. The reason he's frequently compared to Ghostface Killah isn't just his cadence and vocal delivery–his verses often hark back to the Wu-Tang Clan legend in his pomp.īeing the perfect rap emcee doesn't necessarily translate to being the perfect songwriter, though.

The New York heavyweight has strong projection, an addictive old-school flow, buckets full of charisma and wordplay on tap. This might sound absurd, at least at first, but Action Bronson could quite easily lay claim to being the perfect rap emcee.
