Mixtape Review


"Blue Chips" - Action Bronson, Produced by Party Supplies

Featuring: Roc Marciano, Meyhem Lauren, & Kool A.D.

Who?

Action "Bronsileno" is a chef turned rapper from Queens.  He is legit.  He has a dvd that sells for about $13.  He has drawn comparisons to Ghostface Killah, which he apparently resents, yet ironically makes more obvious by sampling Ghost on "Tapas."

My Impression

Bronson flexes his lyricism from beginning to end, peppering in plenty of impressive culinary wordplay while also making endless references to hookers and his "manhood."  The latter could be construed as a negative (I don't particularly care for it) yet Bronson's skills on the mic and solid production by Party Supplies overcome that issue and make this project a solid listen all the way through.  Roc Marciano drops a strong guest verse on the refined "Pouches of Tuna," while Kool A.D. from Das Racist also stops by and goofs around for a minute and a half or so on the laid back "Arts & Leisure."

Highlights:

"9-24-11" - Best beat on the whole tape and Bronson kills it.  There is also a bonus for you producers out there as towards the end of the song there are some drums just begging to be sampled.  "Tan Leather," "Double Breasted," "5 Minute Beats 1 take Raps," & "Blue Chips" are my other favorites.  Dope beats, dope rhymes.

Should I download this?

Yes.  It's free, you idiot!  Bronson also sells music for money.  You should probly buy it.
