Music Mondays - Action Bronson!

Arian Allisani aka Action Bronson is an interesting character. Born in Flushing, Queens to Albanian immigrant parents, Bronson first entered into a career in fine cuisine and became well respected as a fire-flame gourmet chef in New York City, before later deciding to give it a shot at being an MC.

Not that he has left his fine cooking roots behind him, far from it, his rhymes are very often punctuated with metaphors and punchlines about food and cooking and he hosts his own online cooking show called 'Action in the Kitchen'. It's clear that Bronson still has a real passion for cooking but his career as an MC has skyrocketed.

Since his debut album 'Dr Lecter' was released in 2011, Bronson has been on a steady rise to the top, with co-signs from some of the biggest names in hip hop, collaborations with The Alchemist, Party Supplies, Kool G Rap and Statik Selektah amongst others.

With the release of the Party Supplies assisted mixtape 'Blue Chips', Bronson reached a new level of fame, pleasing hip hop fans with tracks like 'Pouches of Tuna' and 'Steve Wynn' on which he flexes his lyrical muscle and showcasing the production skills of Fools Gold artist Party Supplies.

Bronson is set to drop a new project real soon entitled 'Rare Chandeliers' with acclaimed West Coast producer Alchemist. The pair have released their first single 'The Symbol' from the album with accompanying video which sees Bronson in 70's action hero mode.

Bronson plays the ABC Glasgow next month, and if his last gig is anything to go by, this is one not to be missed!
