    Bronson still creates a respectable hip-hop trilogy (not many of those), and gives us his most worthwhile long-player since 2012’s Rare Chandeliers.

    It’s unabashedly fun and a refreshing celebration of sample-based beats in a genre largely moving away from them. There’s no deep thinking or worldly insight here, but Bronson has never tried to be that artist. He sticks to what he does best and succeeds in doing so.

    These new tracks are probably the strongest in his catalog--full of cheeky, relentless verses to match the energetic funk he’s best accompanied by--and the repetition feels strategic.

    A banquet of loop-based production still hits those old-school notes even without the postmodern twist.

    Scuttling percussion, noodling electric pianos, and rubbery basslines remain suited for Bronson's nasal, humor-laced self-praise and subtle jabs at himself, whether he's boasting about his swimmer's body and celebrity chef friends, lamenting his inability to dunk, or proclaiming "Your shit lack quality/I'm sittin' right behind my chick makin' pottery."

    While the project does have a mixtape feel to it as opposed to an album, it delivers a lot of heat.

    Blue Chips 7000 is wholly listenable, and it’s possible to imagine longtime Bronson fans calling it a comeback even if they have trouble recalling titles. But it’s a holding action whose worst quality is that it leaves you worried about him repeating himself again.

    Action Bronson delivers a solid album, which features some beautiful instrumentals and Bronson-esque lines that we have come to expect. TheAction Bronson delivers a solid album, which features some beautiful instrumentals and Bronson-esque lines that we have come to expect. The highlights of the album for me are Chairman's Intent, 9-24-7000 featuring Rick Ross (who compliments Bronson perfectly with their first collaboration on a song), and my favourite; The Choreographer.
