Action Bronson – Mr. Wonderful

When it comes to unexpected pleasure, Action Bronson is one of the greats. Behind the rap artist, who took on the Goliath management with Eminem, the Atlantic Records label with Boosie Badazz and shares facial hair with Rick Ross, there is no first and foremost Arian Asllani: a Jewish-Albanian born in Queens, New York Chef with his own cooking show. Fans of the stage and stove meet the gourmets often search for Heirloom tomato varieties in the states or samples overseas. His love for fresh herbs ranges from coriander to sour diesel. His presence resembles that of a concert tenor instead of an MC, but with his 14-carat bars, he even puts wordsmiths like Kool G Rap in the Shadows.

Action's LP,  'Mr. Wonderful' and combines all the delicious ingredients of his previous discography, of course refined by a few taste levels. The album blends the various influences of the MC, from Cam'ron to Hendrix, and manifests his red-eyed world view at the zenith of the current rap game. Musical first class, the live instrumentation on Mr. Wonderful turns the album into a sound experience wonderfully similar.
