New clip from Shaz IllYork, with a track provided by Ligalize from Moscow, Russia.

Footage of Action Bronson‘s recent visit to Australia, where he enjoyed local trees, frosted beverages and the simple pleasures of riding a jet ski in between almost getting bagged-up for bombing the suburbs.

If only I had a jeep to play this in. -1 for admitting to listening to Coldplay in his spare time. Harry Fraud on the beat.

A fine addition to the “Eff A Critic, They Talk About It While I Live It” rap genre, as Meyhem responds to Pitchfork‘s review of his last tape. Produced by J-Love.

Not sure why I bothered reviewing this since it’s actually a free album…

[insert food pun here]
a) Chow down!
b) Stick a fork in it!
c) Bon appetit!
d) Keep feeding you, and feeding you, and feeding you…
e) Brunch is served!
etc.

While Self Induced Illness and Clarified Butter had some great songs on them, it wasn’t until this years Respect The Fly Shit that Meyhem Lauren really hit his stride as far as establishing a comprehensive sound, courtesy of Harry Fraud and Tommy Mas. With a wider range of tempos, Meyhem was able to break out of that ‘stuck in one gear’ flow that sometimes induced fatigue in the listener in his earlier work.

More Drum-Free Rap from the guy that Ghostface Stan’s love to hate. Produced by Alchemist, who has developed a strong distaste for snares in recent times.

Action Bronson – Rare Chandeliers

Action Bronson combines minds with The Alchemist for this first track from the Rare Chandeliers. Push Ya Wig Back Rap.

J-Love gives AG Da Coroner some shine on this video from the Most Interesting Man Alive album, which features J sharing the mic with a selection of NYC veterans and the Outdoorsman crew.

Ever noticed that J seems to have a rather extensive collection of medieval-style weapons?

This reminds me of my weekend for some odd reason.

Bronson shouts out the site at the end of this clip for CAC-TV. Thanks to Alexander Richter for the tip.

Action Bronson - ‘Consensual Rape’

A Tommy Mas produced cut that didn’t make Dr. Lecter. Stay classy, Flushing.

A good new rap record? Sure, why not? Actually, scratch that. For the most part, this a great effin’ record. Action Bronson marks the return of the highly-technically character rapper in the era of caricature performers who rhyme as an afterthought. He also envisions himself as some sort of modern-day viking, verbally raping and pillaging his way across New York. Pity those unfortunate wretches in his path. Tommy Mas provides some quality non-progressive loops and drums for the big guy to unleash speech over, and rest-assured that the Outdoorsman star recruit is only just getting started. Dead the Ghostface comparisons, Action delivers a variety of techniques that are far beyond the capacity of someone who only picked-up the pen a mere three years ago.
