action bronson - mr. wonderful

have a fuckin' sleepover with my weapons / my rambo knife is eatin' nuggets with my smith & wesson - a light in the addict

[should've saved my food review for bronson instead of kendrick, huh]

bronsoliño has to be one of the more interesting figures in hip hop right now in a non-musical sense. it's hard to separate his persona from his music because of the way he integrates them. he takes the recipe for an album and chooses to omit certain ingredients for the stylings that he favors. armed with a breadth of knowledge of both kinds of bread, he delivers some freshness.

however, it's really easy to fill up on the breadsticks before the full meal. most of the songs here have a thickness to them, primarily due to the stream of words that bronson spits with a slurred inflection. the production is crisp yet hazy, all psychedelic. in that, it blurs together and can be quite entrancing. this is its biggest strength and ultimately its biggest weakness.

top 3 + bottom one: actin' crazy, easy rider, a light in the addict, city boy blues



score: 55
