Action Bronson’s 8th LP “Johan Sebastian Bachlava the Doctor” Prod. by Daringer & The Alchemist Wonderfully Represents the Day 1s & the Newest of His Coalition (Album Review)

New York City emcee, songwriter, chef, wrestler & television host Action Bronson enlisting Daringer & The Alchemist to produce his 8th full-length studio LP. Blowing up with release of his debut album Dr. Lecter in 2011, he then landed a joint venture with VICE Music & Atlantic Records while following up his debut with a couple EPs & mixtapes. The most notable being the Blue Chips duology, Saab Stories & my personal favorite: Rare Chandeliers. He then put out his major label debut Mr. Wonderful in 2015 & it has some of his best songs on there, but the end result would be a more glitzy mixed bag. He fulfilled his contracts by dropping Blue Chips 7000 & celebrated his freedom the next year in the form of White Bronco which were both solid, but didn’t reach the caliber of Lamb Over Rice the Thanksgiving after. Only for Dolphins though was pretty mid given that some of the production choices were questionable & Cocodrillo Turbo was a bounce back. As for Johan Sebastian Bachlava the Doctor, I went into it hoping it would be Bronson’s best album yet.

“Splash (Provocativ)” is this relaxing, jazzy opener showcasing a new fragrance from Bachlava when it’s all said & done whereas “SEGA” works in some haunting organ melodies from Uncle Al referring to himself as that muthafucka you don’t wanna rump with. “Nourish a Thug” hooks up pianos as well as kicks & snares from Daringer talking about taking temperatures the old fashioned way just before “Hideo Nomo” strips the drums explaining that his horoscope told him to get more cake out here.

Meanwhile on “Salvaje”, we have Bronson over more laidback production looking to smash guitars over heads like The Honky Tonk Man did to Jake “The Snake” Roberts leading into Meyhem Lauren joining him for the rock-influenced “Hogan” humorously talking about bitches with Hulk Hogan’s face. “Citrus Wahoo” featuring Meyhem once again lecturing you for what you did wrong only to get stomped out, but then “Kompressor” featuring Larry June charmingly talks about always coming through.

“NBA Leather on NBC” featuring The Alchemist himself jumps over keys & a harmonica pairing up the New York Knicks & the Chicago Bulls while the song “Shadow Realm” pours his heart off talks about trying to take off for so long in the midst of everyone hanging from land again. “Doctor” ends the LP drumlessly comparing his life to a scene from the 1979 masterpiece Apocalypse Now.

I’m really proud to see where Action Bronson has come in over a decade from his initial rise to the top over a decade ago to Fuck, That’s Delicious’ increasing popularity & even his brief AEW appearances in at All Out IV & Grand Slam II. Now over 13 years since his debut tape, he celebrates his mom’s born day by releasing my new favorite full-length of his. For only a half hour, we get a heart-to-heart dedication to all the Day 1s & even the newest members in Bachlava’s coalition.

Score: 9/10

unnamed 1 5

Action Bronson has released a new album, Cocodrillo Turbo, as well as an eleven-minute short film, Spirit Crocodile, through Loma Vista Recordings. The short film, directed by Jason Goldwatch, delves into the essence of the Cocodrillo Turbo and why the reptile is crucial to Bronsolino’s technique. As music from the album serves as a soundtrack, the images and film are viewed through the prism of psychedelia.

“Cocodrillo Turbo” Marks a Pleasant Return to Action Bronson’s Dr. Baklava Persona (Album Review)

Action Bronson is a 38 year old MC from New York City who blew up with release of his debut album Dr. Lecter in 2011. He then landed a joint venture with VICE Music & Atlantic Records while following up his debut with a couple EPs & mixtapes. The most notable being the Blue Chips duology, Saab Stories & my personal favorite: Rare Chandeliers. He then put out his major label debut Mr. Wonderful in 2015 & it has some of his best songs on there, but the end result would be a more glitzy mixed bag. He fulfilled his contracts by dropping Blue Chips 7000 & celebrated his freedom the next year in the form of White Bronco which were both solid, but didn’t reach the caliber of Lamb Over Rice the Thanksgiving after. Only for Dolphins though was pretty mid given that some of the production choices were questionable, but I was more optimistic going into his 7th full-length album given the lead single earlier this month.

“Hound Dog” is a rock-tinged opener produced by Daringer declaring himself as such whereas “Tongpo” with Conway the Machine goes into bluesier territory with both of them getting in their battle rap bag. Hologram tags along for the piano-laced “Estaciones” talking about estimation just before “Jaws” works in a flute & guitar so that Bronson can compare himself to that of a crocodile.

Meanwhile on “Sub0”, we have Bronson on top of some more jazzier production provided by The Alchemist delivering some sick punchlines leading into Meyhem Lauren coming into the picture for the dusty “Turkish” talking about needing the money on the table by this morning. “Jaguar” takes a more soulful route thanks to Roc Marciano spitting some witty braggadocio, but then “Zambezi” finds Marci jumping on the mic with Bronson on top of a beat with some rock undertones to it delivering mafioso bars.

The penultimate track “‘91” shoots for a more keyboard heavy sound addressing those who said he disappeared by explaining he was only practicing while “Storm of the Century” ends the album with a drumless instrumental mixing elements of rock & jazz as Bronson talks about doing things that only the devil happens to know of.

I really didn’t know what to expect from Cocodrillo Turbo given the mediocrity of Only for Dolphins but much like Lamb Over Rice, I came away from this album looking at it as one of his best projects in a while. The production is a lot more consistent than it was 7 months ago & I really admire that Bronson decided to bring back the Dr. Baklava alter ego.

Score: 8/10

Action Bronson Announces Forthcoming ‘Cocodrillo Turbo’ Album

unnamed 1 3

Action Bronson’s next album Cocodrillo Turbo will be released on April 29th on Loma Vista. Conway The Machine, Roc Marciano, Hologram, and Meyhem Lauren will all appear on the album, which will be produced by The Alchemist, Daringer, Roc Marciano, and Action Bronson. Bronson has found a never-ending source of inspiration in water, which is where the title originates from.

“I first came up with this album while in the water. I’ve spent many lifetimes in the water. I’m just a water man. I was born in the water, I’m a water sign,” Bronson said.

His stunning new video for debut single “Subzero,” directed by James Larese, is based on the album. In it, a tsunami strikes New York, as Bronson waits with his bodyboard in hand, preparing to ride the wave through the streets while rapping about dropping a nine in the snow like a long-lost Sopranos character before slipping in a line about ripping his bread without knives. The Alchemist is king of the crocodiles in the short film, which brings him through the desert in a Mad Max-style car and then back to the ocean.

You can see the video below and presave the album here.
