Qualified chef-turned-rapper from Queens, New York, newcomer Action Bronson has built up a loyal following since he decided to leave the kitchen for a recording studio only 18 short months ago. However, the man Rolling Stone magazine recently called the “Artist to Watch” didn’t stray too far from the kitchen, as he is well known for rapping about his culinary delights. Action’s experiences lend a unique flavour to his rhymes, where you’ll find witty mentions of duck prosciutto, Tunisian olives, smoked brisket and other delicacies along with vivid imagery of a modern-day Viking pillaging his way across New York.
Action recently linked up with producer Statik Selektah, and a couple tracks turned into a whole project. What do you get when you combine one of the best producers in the game and one of the best upcoming lyricists? Action Bronson & Statik Selektah call it Well Done.
WuBrotha#1 says: I’m a Statik fan, and didn’t really know about Action Bronson until that last Wu compilation. And I have to say I’m digging his shit. I still have to check out his first album though to be fully convinced. Cats say he sounds too much like Ghost, but I think he sounds more like a lyrical Fat Joe…I will be looking out for this joint when time and money allow…
jack in the box says: This is okay, but I don’t know– maybe Statik Selektah’s shit is a bit too polished for Action.
Dayz says: @ Jack I gotta agree man not sure if it’s the best fit musically. Hope he does another LP with Tommy Mas.
@WuBrotha#1 man Action Bronson is my favorite new artist! Peep the “Dr. Lecter” album, “Bon Appetit… Bitch!” Mixtape and “The Program EP”, you’ll hear it the man is very talented! People say and I agree he does kinda sound like Ghostface but whatever, he stands on his own and he’s not biting Ghostface he just kinda sounds a bit like him. Hell if Ghost thought he was a swagger jacker/biter I doubt he would have done a song with him.

Good looking out. I have heard good stuff about the “Dr. Lecter” album. I wasn’t aware of “Bon Appetit…Bitch!” or “The Program EP.” He definitely has that feel and sound that I dig whenever I get into artists I’ve never heard of or listened to. I will let you know when I do listen to those joints.
