Strictly 4 My Jeeps

 

In the rap game today, Action Bronson is surely one of the best MC's to grace the mic in the last decade. 90's revival rap that takes no prisoners and brings a fresh take on raps golden age. His EP "Saab Stories" seems to take a little bit more of a mainstream approach than his other releases, and I must admit that I prefer his other releases more than this one. However, seeing this get sold out really fast on red vinyl inspired me to grab it on white vinyl when I saw it at a local record store in Santa Cruz. Bronsalino is still the man, so anything he puts out on vinyl from here on out... I'm all over it. If you aren't familiar with him, check out the "Strictly 4 My Jeeps" video below. Bam bam in the buildin.

 

 

Time for some Action

Action Bronson is without a doubt one of the best "new" rappers to come out in the last few years. With a voice and delivery strikingly similar to Ghost Face Killah, what could go wrong? Action Bronson is a professional NYC chef turned rapper and alot of his lyrics reflect that. This is the first pressing of his album with Statik Selektah, "Well-Done". This may be remembered as the apex of his career, but time will tell. This release is an instant classic. They did a second pressing on red vinyl, which I failed to buy for some stupid reason. Maybe because hip hop LP's usually sell for $20-25 bucks (much more than punk/hardcore), so I have to be a bit more selective with what I buy. This dude is blowing the fuck up right now so keep an eye on him. 

Statik Selektah as always comes through with amazing beats for this. Mixing one of the best up and coming rappers and one of the best producers in hip hop, this thing will be considered one of the best hip hop releases of the 2010's when it is all said and done. Check out one of the singles from this release, "Not Enough Words" below:
