The five best concerts this week: Nov. 26-30
1. ACTION BRONSON @ FOX THEATRE | WEDS, 11/28/12
Whereas most indulgent rappers quantify their lavish life in terms of drank and weed, Action Bronson's primary vice has and probably always will be food. Before he gained notoriety as an MC with his 2011 studio debut Dr. Lecter, he was well respected as a New York chef (his lyrics are still garnished with references to foods of all sorts). But while he shares a profession with another well known New York Chef, Raekwon, the Wu-Tang member he most frequently draws comparison to is Ghostface Killah, thanks to his luxurious subject matter and piercing voice. Bronson, meanwhile, says that Kool G Rap is his biggest influence, and, with few exceptions, he has perfected the boastful art of Mafioso rap that G Rap pioneered better than anybody since Jay-Z and Wu-Tang in the '90s. Since his debut, Bronson has released another studio album, Well-Done, along with several mixtapes, most recently Rare Chandeliers, produced by the legendary Alchemist. Bronson hasn't found his Reasonable Doubt yet, but with several more projects in the oven, it will be interesting to see what he serves up next. (Action Bronson is also due at Cervantes' Masterpiece Ballroom on Thursday, November 29.)
