\u201cPUT MY MOTHERFUCKING ALBUM OUT\u201d, Bronson tweeted in frustration back in May. After months of waiting, Action Bronson finally released Blue Chips 7000. This serves as a follow up to his debut album \u201cMr. Wonderful\u201d, which flew under the radar in 2015. This 13 track project with guest features from Rick Ross, Mayhem Lauren and Big Body Bes is just what we\u2019ve been missing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Only two singles were put out prior to the album\u2019s release; one of which being Harry Fraud produced \u2018Let Me Breathe\u2019. The comedic and braggadocious lyrics along with a catchy hook were a nice welcoming back to Bronson. The song was followed by an absolutely crazy and weird music video involving old men dancing and a 6\u20197\u201d tall erotic dancer. <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s nearly indescribable, check it out here: <\/span>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vbqCyrUQrlo<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

The other song which was released was \u2018The Chairman\u2019s Intent\u2019. His inner rockstar is definitely channeled through this hype track. The song gets your head bobbing right from the start with the drums and guitar with his voice yelling, \u201cYou don’t even know me!\u201d And of course you listen to bars you never typically hear, like <\/span>\u201cI started clapping when the chef brought the duck to the table \/ that shit was shining like an angel\u201d<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The interestingly funny music video can be watched here: <\/span>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=K-S3DNXHSao<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

He also performed the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, but the video was pulled from youtube.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bronsoli\u00f1o opens the album with a conversation with his mother while the two of them are high. The skit is followed by an elevator-esque piano beat and Bronson saying, \u201cPuerto Rican Air Force Ones at the wedding.\u201d It’s these randomly specific bars he has that fans have been longing for.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the following song \u2018La Luna\u2019, Action says to someone that he needs a car to take him to Madison Square Garden. While on hold with La Luna car service, he hears the \u2018on hold\u2019 music and says, \u201cYo, what beat is that? \u2026 I could rhyme on this.\u201d He goes on to spit two verses on it. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI’ma save my pe<\/span><\/i>ace<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

And I’ma breeze in the caprice with the gold seats<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Bumpin’ Boosie on a slow creep<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

On Collins Ave looking stoned, man, you know me\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Track 2 – La Luna<\/strong><\/p>\n

On \u2018Hot Pepper\u2019, the duo of Bronson and Mayhem Lauren trade verses like they usually do. As usual, Mayhem\u2019s verse shines on the track. His aggressive voice is a satisfying contrast with the relaxing Caribbean beat behind him and Jah Tiger on the hook.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTake a look at my life, \u2018cause I’m historical \/<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

You the type to compliment a Rollie at the urinal \/<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

I’m the type to look up continents and then explore a few\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Mayhem Lauren on Track 4 – \u2018Hot Pepper\u2019 <\/strong><\/p>\n

The next few songs lyrics are as if Action is simply naming random things and situation that rhyme, but manages to make it sound enjoyable. Like on one of the more relaxing songs on the album is \u2018Bonzai\u2019, subtle piano keys, guitar strums and a melodic flute fuse together to accompany Bronson\u2019s voice saying, <\/span>\u201cI’m so chill, it’s like I’m in a circle playing hacky sack \/ Embroidered Dragon on the satin jacket\u201d<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bam Bam says to start a verse on \u2018Let it Rain\u2019:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cStandin’ in front of McDonald’s \/ throwin’ bottles<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Ninety degrees \/ Timbs on \/ Ma, your kid’s gone<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

A lot of graves to be pissed on<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Land of the free \/ I think wrong\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

The lyrics don’t truly correlate, but they flow nicely on the track.<\/span><\/p>\n

The track \u2018My Right Lung\u2019 gives you that craving feeling in basketball with Bronson saying, \u201c<\/span>I’d give my right lung if I could dunk a basketball one time.\u201d <\/span><\/i>He probably shows his best lyricism on \u2018Tank\u2019 over a simple piano and drum beat, followed by Big Body Bes screaming into his microphone like usual. <\/span><\/p>\n

The climax of the project is hit on tracks 10, 11 and 12. Track 10 being \u20189-24-7000\u2019 featuring Rick Ross. Harry Fraud made a gem with this mellow beat; something that Bronson and Ross thrive on. Rozay blesses the track with his classic delivery and braggadocious lyrics. Track 11 is my personal favorite song on the album, \u2018The Choreographer\u2019. Action\u2019s cadence on the hook is perfect on the funky beat saying, \u201cI\u2019ma show you how to move \/ I\u2019ma show you how to dance \/ got the pistol in my pants.\u201d I\u2019m constantly replaying the song. <\/span><\/p>\n

Track 12 is \u2018Chop Chop Chop\u2019; which has a satisfying blues feel to it. His voice on the hook is very similar Westside Gunn vocals. Bronson verses give the song the same vibe as a lot of his previous album. The album is closed out with the song \u201cDurag vs. Headband\u201d; which was released back in the fall of 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn the lotus flower pose<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

With patience’s with power shows<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

They say that I been sculpted with a Pharaoh’s nose<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

I like to think that I got Darryl’s nose\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Track 12 – \u2018Chop Chop Chop\u2019<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bronson has definitely been busy lately, having two TV Shows on Viceland with \u2018F*ck, That\u2019s Delicious\u2019 and \u2018<\/span>Traveling The Stars: Action Bronson & Friends Watch Ancient Aliens<\/span>\u2019. He even has a book releasing on September 12th titled, \u201cF*ck, That’s Delicious: An Annotated Guide to Eating Well\u201d. With all of that going on, it’s amazing that he found time to make Blue Chips 7000.<\/span><\/p>\n

The album has its highs and low points, but Blue Chips 7000 is still a great listen for Bronson fans as well as rap enthusiasts. Guys like Harry Fraud, The Alchemist, and Party Supplies definitely assist this 3rd installment of Blue Chips series in staying true to its roots and reminds everyone of Action Bronson\u2019s lyrical ability. <\/span><\/p>\n

Best song: 9-24-7000 ft. Rick Ross<\/span><\/p>\n

Favorite Song: The Choreographer<\/span><\/p>\n
