Actin Crazy-Action Bronson (2015)

For the first post in a series that no one cares about I felt compelled to find a new track to share with whoever may unintentionally navigate their way here. Instead I fell asleep and didn’t start writing this post until Wednesday. When I eventually decided to sit down and start writing, the first song to play in whichever playlist happened to be loaded on the laptop when I fell asleep meant I had to look no further for the track of the day (or day before). It wasn’t for any incredibly distinctive artistic or nostalgic reason, it’s not lyrical genius (Although bars like “I feel so alive I think I shit myself” could easily be generation-defying at this rate), it’s just fucking good. Bronson’s distinctive set of pipes makes every track sound better, and the beat is a bad boy.

It could’ve been any number of his tracks that popped up on shuffle that would’ve been worth choosing. He has his undeniable signature sound, but it’s incredibly versatile. In 2016 for example, Action Bronson appears on a track for the Suicide Squad soundtrack called Standing in the Rain. Also featuring on the track is Mark Ronson and The Black Keys front-man Dan Auerbach. It’s a banger, and to see a cross-genre collaboration between one of my favourite Hip-Hop artists and the band who pretty much introduced me to modern Blues-Rock was very refreshing.

Anyway I’ll stop paying homage to Mr. Wonderful now. There isn’t a lot I need to say about Action Bronson. If you know him you’ll know what I’m on about and if you took the time to discover him it wouldn’t take long for it to become apparent. He’s a funny guy too, check him out on YouTube you’ll be entertained for a while. Damn good Cook, give his book “Fuck, That’s Delicious” a read. He’s mad passionate about bagels.

Enjoy.
