[Video] Action Bronson: "Strictly 4 My Jeeps"
Videographers of the internet: The game's over. Action Bronson's video for "Strictly 4 My Jeeps" (directed by Jason Goldwatch) will go down in history as the greatest music video ever created. It features everything you need in a modern-day music video: half-naked girls, money, a RiFF RAFF cameo, basketball, juking, pitbulls, big cars, steak, and a personalized cake. Seriously, the bar for music video quality has been raised to an unattainable high.
"Strictly 4 My Jeeps" is part of the Action Bronson/Harry Fraud collaboration, Saab Stories, which should be coming out in early June. Check the video below, but be warned: you won't look at music videos the same ever again.

Alex Wiley: "Icky Woods" (feat. Action Bronson)
First off, let me tell you that anybody who references Icky Woods or the infamous "Icky Shuffle" wins me over almost immediately. It doesn't hurt that the two emcees in this record happen to rap really good too and to top it all off, the instrumental was produced by Thelonious Martin. This is a can't-lose situation. Stream this fire below and stay tune the #ClubWiley takeover in the month of May as he'll be unleashing new singles and videos through Closed Sessions, leading up to the project's release.
Action Bronson: "Compliments 2 The Chef" feat. Lauriana Mae (prod. Harry Fraud)
Channeling his two favorite subjects, culinary delights and THC, Action Bronson brings us this latest cut via Rosenberg Radio. Lauriana Mae is a key element of the track, lending her sultry voice to the Harry Fraud production and killing the hook. Mae's feature really sets the track apart from others we've heard from Bronsollino, adding an edge to a track that otherwise would sound like a typical cut. Listen below as two of the hottest in the game link yet again for "Compliments 2 the Chef".
[Video] Action Bronson Interview with Tim Westwood
I missed this one a couple days ago... Action Bronson hit up Tim Westwood's show while he was on his European tour. The interview is pretty funny, as Bronson gives it up for big girls, and of course, discusses food. Peep the video below, and remember Action Bronson is back in Chicago 1/27.

[RH Events] Action Bronson Live At Reggies
Remember when Action Bronson was supposed to perform at Reggie's last month? Well, as you all know, Bronson had to reschedule to date. He will now be hitting the Chi on January 27th at 6PM. The full flyer is below, and tickets to his previous show will be honored. Openers and local support TBA.
Let's end the year with a proper Hip Hop show, shall we? On December 29th, we will welcome Action Bronson back to the windy city. It's hard to believe that it's been a year since his first show at Digital Freshness. He comes back Saturday alongside Chuck Inglish, and Johnny Polygon. Tickets are on-sale now, cop them here.
[Closed Sessions] "Blackbird" Feat Action Bronson (prod by Thelonious Martin)
Shortly after we secured Action Bronson to play the November edition of Digital Freshness, I told him jokingly via Twitter that Chicago's finest meats and cheeses awaited him in the windy city upon arrival. I say that to many of our guests, but this time it took on a new meaning given Action's former career in the culinary arts and current status a true and blue foodie. Staying true to form, Action responded that he really wanted to eat at Blackbird, an award winning restaurant and a top spot to eat in a city known for top spots to eat. It's also a little exclusive and heavily booked. We were able to pull some strings and get the inside hook up on a table at Blackbird on a busy Friday night before Action's Saturday night performance. In exchange for helping us get a table, our connect had one request, that we dress appropriately for the occasion. No jeans. Nice shoes. Collared shirt. Shouldn't be a problem, I told him.
A few days later we picked up Action Bronson at Midway airport. After an introduction and talk of unseasonably warm weather for mid-November, Action said matter-of-factly, "this is the only shirt I brought, and I don't wear pants." And just like that, while we all ate in collared shirts, slacks, and dress shoes, Action Bronson became the first person to "dine at Blackbird with hoodies and some Balances." I can't prove that, but I'm pretty sure it's true.
The dinner was great. Everyone at Blackbird treated us extremely well, and I think every single chef from the kitchen came out to talk with Action about the food and experience. The next day we hit SoundScape for the Closed Session and Action immediately centered in on production from Thelonious Martin. At the time, Thelonious was only a couple months into his freshman year of college and trying to really break into Chicago's music scene. He also had Saturday classes, and so while Bronson was going nuts over Thelonious' beats, Thelonious was sitting in class. I sent him a text, he faked sick, and the rest is history.
The song is the second single and documentary from Closed Sessions Vol. 2, which will be released in August presented by MTV2 Sucker Free. You can download the new song as well as watch the short documentary on the next page. Check back July 25th for the third release.
