Son Raw is all about exploitation If Action Broski doesn’t make it as a rapper (which incidentally would be a crime against music), he can always star in Robert Rodriguez flicks from now until infinity. From acrobatic assaults on tables worthy of the original Bam Bam, to corrective measures delivered to pimps, hoes, gangsters and […]

“Who is your favorite Chinese Rapper?” “Red Cafe.” These are two refined and elegant gentleman with a batting average worthy of Wade Boggs. Ask Action Bronson, he was with Margo Adams first. Someone needs to start a kickstarter to fund and film an Alchemist and Action Bronson trip to Las Vegas, complete with ether, acid, […]

Action Bronson swings by GGN. No. They couldn’t get the roast turkey. But they did get the trippy stick. A must when backflipping from a plane onto a jet ski, doing an interview, or waiting for your tart fennel with the apple at ‘the restaurant.’ Puffing hibiscus, Bronsolino gives those who haven’t been following along […]

We got it all wrong. The vocal resemblance meant that Bronson always got branded with the Ghostface comparison. But lately, he reminds me a lot more of Big Pun. The sex and food obsessions that veer towards Costanza with pastrami levels. The overweight lover aesthetic. The ability to turn every bar into an instant quotable. […]

Max Bell is everywhere, July 2012. I have my pineapple haze stashed in the Batcave. My oil paintings are perfectly placed over my fireplace. And my Gucci’s with the red and green laces are on point. I am Roc Marciano. That was actually a dream I had — a movie I wish I starred in. […]

Son Raw would like to share a few thoughts. Domo Genesis carries weed but he clearly aspires to more than weed carrier status. While I wasn’t particularly impressed by his contributions to the OF Tape 2, that’s probably due to the project’s general lack of focus and sub-par production. Rolling papers was dope but that […]

Doc Zeus has now written three consecutive posts of praise. The Mayans may still be right. [Ed Note: My feature on Riff Raff appears today in LA Weekly. Rice included.] Buddy cop films and Judd Apatow have taught us that the metaphysical chemistry of two opposite bros forming an unlikely friendship is the most powerful […]

Action Bronson is doing that thing where every song he drops is memorable and filled with lines that you would quote to your friends constantly if you were were in college. And then you get older and your friends move away and stop listening to hip hop and become familiar with the accoutrements of Crate […]

Abe Beame is in a different world and you kind of look like Jasmine Guy. Download:  http://www.mediafire.com/?zg79d7f82wf3bz7  Hodgy Beats – “In a Dream” As most people observed when this dropped, Hodgy’s Untitled EP is a vision of what OF could’ve been if the internet didn’t ruin everything. To me, the projects harkens back to when […]

It only takes 45 seconds for Action Bronson to talk about how he wants to have sex with a lot of “Nubian Women.” After another 30 seconds, he uses the phrase “days of yore.” He is not the best rapper out, but he might be my favorite.
