Action Bronson is a giant white dude from Queens who raps mainly about food. Seriously, “an hour later eat a burger with my drug dealer /and add the butter to the fudge to make the fudge realer.” His breakout mixtape is full of the same lighthearted, soul-sampled, New York shit-talk that the Northeast has been missing lately. There’s no grim gun-talk, or arrests, or social justice - just retro-rap with a sense of humor. His breakout mixtape Dr. Lecter is a product of a bunch of no-name producers and features, but it remains one of the brightest moment’s of last year’s mixtape glut.

In case you didn’t know, Bronson is a real-life chef; he’s apparently using all this rap-money to fund culinary training in Tuscany. You can watch a number of videos of him online searing tuna, or building the “Bronson Burger.” I’ve written before that Austin is careful when it comes to rap music, but if you’re looking for something to harken back to the golden-age joy, Bronson’s your man. Also he sounds a lot like Ghostface Killah; take that as you will.
