Action Bronson - Actin Crazy

On his latest track Action amps up on fluid production, and addresses self-congratulatory bars to his mum.

9th January 2015

One of rap’s more novel success stories, Action Bronson’s new album ‘Mr. Wonderful’ should live up to his reputation if this, the second release from it, is anything to go by. Everyone feels the need to confide in Mama sometimes, but being able to account for your wild behaviour with your blistering success must be affirming stuff. ‘Actin Crazy’ brings classic Bronson style, and pairs it with some fluid production from Omen and Noah “40” Shebib (Drake’s good mate/collaborator).

Self-congratulatory bars with a sprinkling of culinary references, in this instance addressed to his mum, have become Bronson’s calling card. True to form, this reflection on his success and lifestyle is thankful, hopeful, unrepentant, and universally tongue in cheek. Having moved from gourmet chef to rap star, Bronson’s understandably chuffed with his lot, and this has made for hip-hop that’s as entertaining as it is irreverent. That jazzy trumpet refrain also hints that a great staple of Bronson’s music, evident since some of his earliest work, will see a welcome return in ‘Mr. Wonderful’ too.
