The jovial piano-stabs of album-opener “ Brand New Car“, sampled from Billy Joel’s “Zanzibar”, announce what’s to come in the following 49 minutes. That feast is served up once again on Bronson’s major label debut Mr. In the last three years, his mixtapes, the Blue Chips series with Party Supplies and the Alchemist-produced Rare Chandeliers, have been some of the most refreshingly sounding projects in the game, full of vivid outrageous imagery and the ever-present talk of food over richly-sampled production. Before the inimitable entertaining rapper that he is now, he was a chef of 10 years and he’s brought the creativity and flair from that pursuit into his rapping, and it’s what sets him apart from the rest of his peers. He’s a man of taste, a man who loves fine food and fine music. Sure, the go-to comparison when you hear him is Ghostface Killa from Wu-Tang Clan – they have freakishly similar voices and yes, they’re both from New York – but that’s about where the similarities stop.
