Critical Praise:
“Action Bronson is Mr. Rogers in an XXXL Carhartt T-shirt and Adidas shower slides, blunt dangling from his lips” – The New York Times
“(Bronson’s) music is not only a blast, but undeniably distinctive.” – Pitchfork
“Action Bronson makes me laugh. And feel good, both about the world in general and about myself specifically. Sometimes that’s all I really want from music.” – The Ringer
The Announcement:
An energetic and charismatic performer, Action Bronson always treats his fans to something special at his shows. Adding to his busy schedule, Bronson announces additional dates for the “White Bronco Tour.” Heading out to markets he missed during the original leg of the tour, Bronson will head Northeast, making stops in Montreal, Ottawa, Portland, Buffalo, and Clifton Park. Showcasing tracks from White Bronco, his 2018 album, Bronson is currently finishing up a series of dates in the West Coast, ending with a show at Los Angeles at The Novo, before heading back on the road in April. Bronson is also preparing for the release of Stoned Beyond Belief, the Queens-born author’s second book, coming on March 19th.

The ultimate love letter to the world’s most magical plant, Stoned Beyond Belief (Abrams Image; March 19, 2019; U.S. $27.50; Hardcover), is Bronson’s masterpiece. An exploration of every corner of the pot galaxy, from highly scientific botanical analyses and the study of pot’s medicinal benefits to a guide to the wild world of weed paraphernalia, Stoned Beyond Belief is a very personal tribute to a substance Bronson refers to as life-changing, horizon-expanding, a conduit for happiness, a connector. Organized loosely into 100 entries, including 35 recipes, and packed with illustrations and photos, Stoned Beyond Belief is a trippy and munchie-filled experience, as well as an entertainingly valuable resource for weed enthusiasts and scholars. Written with assistance from Rachel Wharton, Stoned Beyond Belief will delight Action Bronson fans and pot aficionados all across the universe.
In November 2018, Bronson released White Bronco, his latest studio album and his first project as an independent artist since 2012. The follow-up to 2017’s Blue Chips 7000, White Bronco features production from Bronson’s longtime collaborator Party Supplies, as well as contributions from Harry Fraud, Daringer, Samiyam and Bronson’s live band, The Special Victims’ Unit. With a surreal front cover painted by the Queens-born icon himself, White Bronco showcases a liberated Action Bronson, free from constraints or distractions. Featuring appearances from A$AP Rocky, Meyhem Lauren, Yung Mehico, and Big Body Bes, White Bronco is available now on all DSPs via EMPIRE.

The Background:
About Action Bronson:
A burgeoning media mogul and a celebrated figure in the culture, Action Bronson never stops working. Born Ariyan Arslani, Bronson started his career as a gourmet chef, rapping only as a hobby, until he garnered overwhelmingly positive critical attention with his first mixtape Dr. Lecter, released in 2011.Packing his rhymes with references to fine food, culinary practices, professional wrestling, obscure sports figures, and more, Dr. Lecter and its popular follow-up Blue Chips quickly built Bronson’s reputation as a lyricist. Singing to Atlantic Records through a partnership with VICE, Bronson charted at #7 on Billboard with his major label debut Mr. Wonderful in 2015, which featured the Gold-certified single “Baby Blue,” featuring Chance The Rapper. Since the release of that album, Bronson expanded into filmed media, starting a web-based mini-series for Vice entitled “Action in the Kitchen,” which played off the artist’s love of food and music. The success of “Action in the Kitchen”led to “F*ck, That’s Delicious,”a full-fledged TV series and a flagship show on Viceland, where Bronson travels the world, meeting chefs and cooks and tasting everything from haute cuisine to street vendor favorites. Bronson also released a cookbook of the same name, which spent several weeks on the New York Times Best-Seller list. Bronson expanded his television empire into the realm of the metaphysical with Viceland’s 2017 series “Traveling the Stars: Ancient Aliens with Action Bronson,” and he currently hosts “THE UNTITLED ACTION BRONSON SHOW,“ a free-form talk show on Viceland. Bronson ended his relationship with Vice in 2018 and independently released his album White Bronco on November 1st. Bronson’s second book Stoned Beyond Belief hits stores on March 19th via Abrams Publishing.
