Action Bronson biography

Arian Asllani (December 2nd 1983), better known as Action Bronson, is one of the biggest names in contemporary underground hip hop, bursting out of Queens, New York City, US, in 2008.

Bronson was born to an Albanian father and Jewish mother, finding his first calling as a gourmet chef, becoming well respected in New York. His love of food has continued to be a theme lyrically in his music, with Bronson also hosting food programs on VICE to great popularity.

Bronson's style and flow draws similarities with Ghostface Killah, alongside Mobb Deep, Kool G Rap and Wu-Tang Clan. He regularly collaborates with many of the new wave of hip hop artist such as A$AP Rocky, The Alchemist, Flatbush Zombies and Earl Sweatshirt. His witty sense of humor, boundless charisma and intricate wordplay has made Bronson one of the most exciting and talented rappers of the modern era.

In 2011, he released his debut album, "Dr. Lecter" which was follow up by his second, "Well Done," a collaboration album with Statik Selektah. He then teamed up with Party Supplies for his mixture "Blue Chips." These releases gained plaudits from many critics and brought Bronson recognition for his talents.

In 2012, Bronson joined Warner Bros. and entertainment company VICE, releasing "Rare Chandeliers" a mixture in collaboration with The Alchemist. Several high profile performances followed, including at Coachella Valley Music Festival, bringing Bronson to wider fame, becoming featured on XXL Magazine's annual 'Freshman Class' list in 2013. An EP release produced by Harry Fraud, "Saaab Stories" followed, featuring guest appearances by Raekwon, Wiz Khalifa and Prodigy.

Live reviews

He’s not been on the scene particularly long, and yet Action Bronson already seems to have undergone numerous transformations; he’s gone from being written off as a Ghostface Killah impersonator to being taken seriously as a creative force in his own right, from a DIY artist burning and selling his own CD-Rs to a major label signee with Warner Bros., and from a professional foodie to merely a recreational one; he used to be a well-known gourmet chef, but these days he saves his food-related activity for his new web series, which goes by the fabulously straightforward moniker of Fuck! That’s Delicious. On stage, too, he’s learned the ropes of performing and controlling a crowd with an impressive haste; despite a lack of experience, he hasn’t been tempted to fall back on the typical live trappings of the genre, eschewing hype men and instead going entirely solo over beats provided by his on-tour DJ. That’s not to say he’s afraid of a high-profile guest slot - Joey Bada$$, Danny Brown and Smoke DZA having all joined him in the past - and nor does it mean he’s afraid of standard live antics; he’s a keen crowdsurfer. Bronson just wrapped up an intimate UK tour, but with his star continuing to rise, don’t expect him to be playing such small rooms next time out.
