Are we witnessing the Action Bronsonaissance? "Triceratops," the NYC rap foodie's recent collab with Paul Wall and Lil Yachty, was fire. So is the next single from Planet Frog, Bronson's new LP out this week. "Peppers" pairs him with fellow New York emcee extraordinare Roc Marciano, both of them flexing in their signature styles over a slinky, low-key ominous loop cooked up by Bronson and Daringer.
Here's Bronson, ruggedly, enthusiastically: "Yeah, I'm dancing but the Ox is in my hand/ Platinum Patek, call him Aquaman/ Bitch, it's the doctor, give him some Clonazepam/ Turn him to Hallow Man/ Baklava been spotted in Rotterdam/ Chilling with Suriname woman, smokin' pot again." Here's Marciano, in the world's most commanding whisper: "Yo, castle full of foreigns/ Hard castle in McCormick/ Was pumpin' tall capsules, but I knew rap was my calling/ Before I became the Flash Gordon of recording/ The J.P. Morgan of slick talking/ Y'all Christopher Walken/ I was nice before British walkers and Walkmans/ Walkin' in, I'm like Dr. Kevorkian."
You gotta take it easy, and you gotta watch Chris Grosso's "Peppers" video, which finds Bronson and Roc Marci exuding charisma in the woods.
Planet Frog is out 5/8.
