“TO COMMEMORATE LIFE AND ENJOYMENT I CAN OFFER YOU THIS ART… THANK YOU TO ALL THE HEADS THAT HAVE BEEN AROUND FROM DAY ONE AND THE NEWEST MEMBERS OF THIS COALITION. BACHLAVA RECORDS. AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE SOON.”
Bronson went on to say in addition to handling his own projection, that the project would have beats from The Alchemist and Daringer. Features on the project include Meyhem Lauren, Larry June, and Alc.
Bronsolino added that two members of his touring band Human Growth Hormone, the group that backed him during his well-received 2023 Tiny Desk Concert, will appear on the project: saxophonist Matt “Yung Mehico” Carrillo and guitarist Julian Love.

Action Bronson has been teasing the follow-up to 2022’s Cocodrillo Turbofor a while now. Back in November 2023, the artist shared a video of him jamming on a keyboard, joined by a saxophone player and a drummer who can be heard from off-camera.
Bronson captioned the post: “BIG BAKURABA IS COMING TO TOWN. GRAMMY TIME. JOHAN SEBASTIAN BAKLAVA THE DOCTOR.”
In an interview the following month, he recalled walking into an NYC gym and recognizing seven-time Mr. Olympia Arnold Schwarzenegger as he was one of the only people there.
“It’s only me and there’s two guys there, and this guy on the fucking chest press,” he remembered. “And I just see this hair — it’s like this color that I know, it’s this red. Who has that color hair? This guy’s not fucking from Queens, he’s not a Pakistani guy from Queens with the dyed red hair.”

“So I look over and it’s fucking Arnold [Schwarzenegger] and his big fucking big Russian bodyguard or whatever they’re speaking […] So they were speaking some Germanic shit and, y’know, we’re all just working. I just didn’t even say a fucking word to him.”
When the chef-turned-rapper began deadlifting, the Terminator star apparently acknowledged him with a succinct, “That’s impressive weight,’ and proceeded to walk out.
