Let’s say you’re a respected gourmet flame-chef in New York.
You have a bunch of friends that like to hang out and rap, but you’re doing
your thing, and then they invite you over when they’re making a mixtape and so
you give it a try. Then you find out you’re pretty much better than them, and
you’re actually really good at rapping, and you happen to sound like Ghostfaced
Killah. Then you decide to swap the knives for the mic, and voila! Enter Action
Bronson.
I’ve been following Action for about 6 months now, and it’s
in agreement that he’s the real deal. He puts out albums and mixtapes
constantly, so it’s easy to see him evolve, and he’s starting to get a real
following. He’s unique in the sense that he blends lyrics about New York, food,
women and being a gangster all together pretty flawlessly. He uses tons and
tons of food metaphors throughout everything, like comparing the taste of lamb
laced with fennel to doing [NAUGHTY THINGS] in the back of the rental. He’s
mental! But really, something about the way he layers his rhymes with food and
feelings really creates these distinct images, even tastes of what he’s seeing
and doing. It’s pretty cool to listen to.
