Action Bronson
This chef-turned-MC combines Hunter Thompson-style wit and outrageous imagery with a gangster sensibility.
Overview
Action Bronson is one MC in Queens you might actually want to take home to meet your mum. Not only can he rap, he can cook. Before gaining attention of hip hop aficionados with his 2012 Party Supplies-produced mixtape, Blue Chips, he spent hours searing ahi tuna and whipping up frittata napoletana for New York gourmets.
While you can still keep up with Action Bronson's culinary adventures in Action in the Kitchen, you'll be more likely to find him on a stage somewhere these days. In August 2012, he signed to Vice Records, who also have Snoop Lion on their books.
Having released studio LP Rare Chandeliers in November, Action Bronson will bring his verbal agility, gonzo-style wit, and titanic vocabulary to Sydney for the first time on January 12. Supporting him will be founder of Stones Throw Records, Peanut Butter Wolf (US), multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, producer, and arranger Jonti, who supported Gotye on his 2012 American and European tours, and Sydney DJ Mike Who?.
