In less than three years, Action Bronson has organically transformed from a Queens, New York artist appearing DJ J-Love mixtapes to a Goliath-managed act covering magazines, and signed to Vice/Warner Bros. Records. Speaking with another Queens artist, DJ Whoo-Kid, Bronson spoke about the importance of Saab Stories, which comes to retail today.
“Harry Fraud did the whole thing,” Bronson explained of the Brooklyn, New York producer who shares the billing on S.S. “There was a time when I was working with just one producer. And this is the end of it,” Action revealed. In 2011, he released Dr. Lecter with longtime collaborator Tommy Mas, before following with Well-Done, with Statik Selektah later that year. In 2012, Bronson released two free projects, Blue Chips with Party Supplies, followed by Rare Chandeliers with Alchemist. The Flushing native stressed that Saab Stories will be the fifth and final effort in this format.
The Outdoorsmen member did say that all the previous collaborators will remain on his forthcoming releases. “After this, I have music with mixed [producers]. I’m not putting out just a [one-producer] thing anymore,” pointing to Al, Harry, Statik, Party Supplies and Tommy Mas, who is signed to Duck Down Music as a member of Team Facelift. “I feel like the older dudes are not tryin’ to give the younger dudes a shot. I feel like if I go pay these mothafuckas, instead of paying my friends that I’ve been doing music with, I’d be playing myself. I’d rather take care of my homies. They make my favorite music anyway.” Bronson stressed that he prefers to make music with producers in the studio rather than sending tracks over email.

JA RULE X HARRY FARUD
Action Bronson gotta be the ugliest human being I ever laid eyes on
These Ja Rule trolls are boring. Why can’t they use one of the thousands of rappers that fell the fuck off?
motherfucking SLOB stories is more like it, not to mention this 400 pound shitbag can’t tell a story to save his life. Garbage ass albums with Statik Selektah and Harry Farud, wow! Fucking white bum picks his beats as carefully as he picks at his plates of food, which it NOT AT ALL.
Question: will Bronstein ever see his dick again while standing up or will the heart attack get him first?
obese fat fuck has-been before he became an ever-was… white people and humanity alike to claim this mutant as their own. corporate whores don’t lie, however: go Vice? Go Paul Rosenberg!
just having Pual rosenberg as your manager solidifies the fact that he is a mainstream rapper right now. You gotta have money up front for these industry players, so becuz of that, and the fact dude SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE GHOST FACE is the reason I can’t fuck with dude, he aiight, but def the great white hype of 2012-2013… his 15 mins is almost up. Big up to the outdoorsmen, I fuck with they shit, but action bronson is the wackest dude in the camp.
These trolls get so damn old….
Saab Stories is good. Prefer Blue Chips though. Very interested to see the retail response he gets from this EP.
Bon Appetit ….. Bitch!!!!!!!

Apparently he’s not interested in making albums, but not many are these days.
Arian is fat fuck novelty act. ZERO of his songs, ever, have replay value or multi-layered content… He’s an obese punchline rapper with the same four punchlines: weed, sexISM, food, idiotic sports.
Hard to believe there are enough stupid teenagers to support this bum’s CAREER but I guess we’ll see. Not only was Big Pun a far superior rapper, he was the voice of a poeple.
Bronstein is the voice of what? Lobtomized Ghostface with a genital herpes outbreak?
Pouches of tuna
Imported Goods
Bag of Money
Larry Csonka
Buddy guy
Dreamer
his whole catalog is dope not including saab stories
he better keep it underground
fuck that wiz collab
who cares if he sounds like ghostface … no one said anything about hopsin sounding like eminem
fuck it, have ghost and action on the same track
everybody said something about hopsin sound like eminem
not only his actual voice but his flow and lyrical content/subject matter in general
Ghostface Killah – Meteor Hammer (ft. Action Bronson & Termanology)
and i hate to say that ghostface has the third best verse on the track..
