#948 Action Bronson and Party Supplies - Blue Chips

Free here!

Nasal, rapid-fire, tightly-packed raps with plenty of mixtape looseness and a rockist infusion of excitement. Two of the album's own nods do my work for me: when Bronson complains about being compared to Ghost (he sounds a whole lot like him) and when Kool A.D. drops in and fits right in and it reminds you of how naturally this would work as a companion piece to 51 and Nehru Jackets.

Like any good mixtape, there's enough flubs and half-hits to make the whole thing feel live and promote the illusion of spontaneity. And like most mixtapes, endless flow respect given, you could have done more with less. But mission accomplished, point made: Bronson's got the tightest Albanian flow I know 3.5/5
