Former chef releases ‘Mr. Wonderful’ on Vice/Atlantic
“This is just rap. I'm not trying to make people think I'm some sort of scientific wizard or inspirational poet. Fuck that! It's just happy, funny, rugged, rough rap.” (NME) After stunning debut ‘Dr. Lecter’ and a number of great mixtapes, former chef (he hosted online cooking programme ‘Action In The Kitchen’) Arian Asllani releases his long-awaited second album ‘Mr. Wonderful’ via Vice/Atlantic Records at the end of March ’15. With the obligatory fine folk – like Mark Ronson and Chance The Rapper – in the credits and Action Bronson’s typically crazy ass lyrics, like “Woke up naked at the Hilton with a bitch that look like Seal’s cousin” (from single ‘Easy Rider’) its all sorted for sure!
Who said white boys can’t rap, again? Together with chiefs like El-P (Run The Jewels), Jonwayne and Aesop Rock, heavy-weight Action Bronson give the criticasters tit for tat with the one quality release after the other. The heyday of white boy rap at the time of Eminem and Beastie Boys has been caught sight of!
