This dude Action Bronson is having the proverbial best week ever. From rhyming with Raekwon to LL Cool J and Lloyd Banks, he’s been dropping a lot of heat and we still have a few more days left before the release of his Harry Fraud-produced EP Saab Stories (June 11). If we’re lucky, we’ll get another leak. If not, this dope track (Wiz’s lyrical laziness notwithstanding) should hold us over.
Ironically enough, Frank Costello (pictured above) would likely be wearing the same quizzical expression if he were resurrected and brought to the present to hear this track. But that would be the Mafia legend’s own loss if he couldn’t appreciate this second quality leak off Tony Touch’s upcoming The Piecemaker 3 (July 9)
LL Cool J has a lot to atone for after that “Accidental Racist” debacle. He’s definitely back in the zone over this vintage early 90′s beat and pretty much steals the show as we haven’t heard Uncle L spit this hard in minute. What do we have to do to get a whole album like this. Hell, even a mixtape?! Bronson and Banks knock out their verses as well. This song will likely end up on Bronson’s next project Saab Stories.
Damn. I thought Redman had a thing for big women, but he has nothing on Action Bronson based on this new video for the Harry Fraud-produced “Strictly 4 My Jeeps.” Filmed in Queens, this video also features an appearance by Riff Raff. Bronson can keep that behemoth — the Paula Jai Parker honey in the jeep is more my speed. The video is directed by Jason Goldwatch.
Funkmaster Flex has an absolute monster of a mixtape dropping on April 17. Don’t believe me? Check out this first leak off the project and then peep the 54-song tracklist of original material. Sounds like Flex has never lost his 60 Minutes of Funk touch.

ACTION BRONSON – “LIVE FROM KISSENA BLVD”
Slow down, baby! Action Bronson and Harry Fraud go on a throwback rampage on their latest collaboration. EPMD fans should get a kick out of this one.
Nina B. recruits Action Bronson and Skyzoo to make it an all-NYC affair on her new track “718.” As the area code title suggests, each emcee gives their own anecdotes about the city that raised them. “718″ will be included on Nina’s forthcoming album, Titles Are Played Out, dropping on August 21.
Just a few months removed from his Well Done album with Statik Selektah, Action Bronson has a new collabation project on deck with Party Supplies entitled Blue Chips. The main downloading point of this mixtape is that it’s filled with all original material. That’s right, Bronson and Party Supplies banged out 16 tracks from what was initially a one-off studio session. The beats are varied: one track might feature symphonic arrangements, while another might have a soul or blaxploitation loop. Bronson navigates them all well while incorporating pop culture nods like snarky homages to pro wrestling personalities.
Consider this a companion piece to Bronson’s upcoming collabaration with none other than the Alchemist.
It was supposed to just be a nice feature on Cormega’s upcoming, Large Professor produced album Mega Philosophy. Over 40,000 views later, now the talk is whether this formidable foursome can replicate the success of Slaughterhouse withan NYC-focused, lyrically inclined supergroup. For now Cormega is focused on his own album, but he left the door open for future work should a promoter come up with right price. Money aside, it may just be the voice of the people who decide if MARS is a one-shot deal.
CORMEGA X ACTION BRONSON X ROC MARCIANO X SAIGON “MARS” (PROD. BY LARGE PROFESSOR)
Action Bronson and Party Supplies are putting their time spent watching HBO to good use. Inspired by the dark HBO documentary of the same name, this video chronicles the exploits of three characters: Cyndi (a crack-addicted prostitute), Silk (a vicious pimp) and Ramon (a strung-out former athlete). Despressing premise aside, the track is a definite head-nodder the reflects the video’s 90s NYC setting.
