This guy. Action Bronson has been making music for a couple of years now, but I first really started listening to him in 2012 and he has certainly had a breakout year. Hailing from Queens, NY (Flushing to be exact), Action entered the rap game late due to the fact he was originally a trained chef by trade. Per the old adage, I'd say we can trust him. Weighing in at over 300 lbs of pure beef yet probably barely topping 5'6", he has a stage presence unlike any other rapper. Despite his heft, he's fond of wandering through the crowd as he performs; all but disappearing as fans clamor and tower over him. He'll usually make a stop behind the bar as well to buy everyone a round. I really don't know anyone else who seems to be having more fun than Action Bronson.
As an artist, he is quite skilled at what he does. Bronson is a technically sound rapper who makes good use of various rhyme patterns and clever puns. He crafts elaborate tales with his rhymes about gangsters, women, weed, and of course, food. He's created an over the top persona that's as large as he is, but has done it so light heartedly that it's just pure entertainment. 2012 was blessed with two free Bronson mixtapes: the first, Blue Chips was produced by Party Supplies, and the second release was a collaboration with The Alchemist entitled Rare Chandeliers. And oh yeah, he recently started a new Twitter/photo trend: #RareSquats. This guy is something else.
