Early in his career it seemed like we had Action Bronson pinned down: he was a talented writer with a vivid imagination and an unshakable food obsession who sounded a little too much like Ghostface for his own good. But he has since found his own voice, most notably on the revelatory first edition of Blue Chips. Where Ghostface was a deliriously inscrutable writer playing the role of a wily narrator unspooling street narratives, Bronson is a larger-than-life character in his own songs...

Ghostface Killah, a rapper Action Bronson was once frequently compared to, once revealed the secret for making great rap: saying fly shit over official beats. Queens, NY rapper Bronson sticks to this formula on the sequel to his 2012 star-making vehicle , as again pairs the rapper with producer Party Supplies. Supplies' oldies samples on the prequel have given way to a virtual tour through an eclectic record collection. To get more specific would be snitching...

Action Bronson is an incredibly busy performer for somebody who doesn't consider rap his first love. In fact, if his interviews are as honest as, say, his incredibly personal track "9.24.11," he doesn't love it at all. Rap was a diversion for the Albanian-American who once occupied a head chef position in New York City but suffered a broken leg in a freak accident and was forced to take a break...

Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to present to you one of Hip-Hop's brightest rising stars. Action Bronson is yet another rapper who despite beginning his rap career in 2008, only started to get his recognition in the industry between 2012 and 2013. After releasing 4 mixtapes and a couple of independent street albums, Action finally got his recognition in the form of him being included in the XXL 2013 Freshmen Class...

"Saaab Stories" is the meeting of two artists who push old Hip Hop formulas to new places unlike other '90s era revivalist types who would rather cling on. After dropping well-received joint projects with everyone from Party Supplies to Alchemist, Queens rapper Action Bronson links with Brooklynite producer Harry Fraud to create Saaab Stories...

Saaab Stories, the latest release from Queens rapper Action Bronson, is slightly confounding. The EP -- entirely produced by rising Brooklyn-based producer Harry Fraud -- sounds gorgeous throughout, providing an array of consistently solid beats that explore sonic territory both new and old for Action. And yet, there's something distinctly lacking in Bronson's words...
