My Favorite Rapper Right Now is a Fat Albanian

VIDEO IS NSFW

I can’t believe I’m saying this but the hottest rapper in the world right now might actually be an Albanian from Queens named Action Bronson. He’s shaped like a bowling ball, with a fat, goofy face and red hair. He frequently gets called “the white Rick Ross” (based purely on his appearance, not his sound). His voice happens to sound disturbingly similar to Ghostface’s and he also happens to be a trained chef who regularly rhymes about prosciutto and shit.

Bronson’s been putting in steady work over the past couple years but his new mixtape “Blue Chips,” which sprung from a marathon studio session with the producer Party Supplies, has been getting a ton of attention since it came out last week.

Basically it makes absolutely no fucking sense that this guy is hot right now, but the music stands on its own. This is pure New York hip-hop revivalism (and I don’t mean that as an insult. Some of us still like the boom-bap.)
