Action Bronson

Ariyan Arslani, better known by his stage name Action Bronson, is an American rapper, chef, and television host. Born and raised in Queens, he released his debut mixtape Bon Appetit .....

Queens-bred rapper and self-taught chef Ariyan Arslani commandeered hip-hop's culinary lane with a larger-than-life persona that felt refreshingly unpretentious in the 2010s. His prolific run—anchored by *Mr. Wonderful* (2015) and the *Blue Chips* series with The Alchemist—established him as a beat connoisseur with ravenous appetite for both sonic and literal flavors, turning collaborations with the West Coast producer into defining moments that bridged coasts and aesthetics. Vice's backing gave him cultural credibility beyond rap, but it's the relentless mixtape machine and his refusal to take himself too seriously that solidified his fanbase, even as mainstream recognition remained modest.
