BIO:
Arian Asllani (born December 2, 1984), better known by his stage name Action Bronson, is an Albanian-American rapper. His stage name derives from gangster William "Action" Jackson, and tough-guy actor Charles Bronson.
Action was born and raised in Flushing, Queens. Action Bronson is of Albanian and Jewish descent. Before entering the rap scene he was a respected fire-flame gourmet chef in New York City, and frequently raps about food in his songs. He hosts his own online cooking show entitled "Action in the Kitchen". He has gained notoriety for lyrically and stylistically resembling rapper Ghostface Killah (with whom he collaborated, along with friend and fellow rapper Termanology, on a song called "Meteor Hammer" from the 2011 compilation album Legendary Weapons). In a interview with HipHopDX, he was asked about how it was to sound like him, and he responded with:
"Yeah, I mean at the end of the day, it’s all good because Ghostface Killah is one of the best rappers alive, so if I sound similar to the best rapper alive then that is fine. To me there is no comparison; he is a legend and I am a newcomer. If I would try and emulate with anyone it would be Kool G Rap, he is the person I look up to the most. I am not upset but at the end of the day I am my own person and no one can take that away from me."
He released his debut studio album Dr. Lecter in 2011, which is available in digital download and also in CD on his official website. Action Bronson is an atheist, which he revealed in the song "Not Enough Words", from Action Bronson's collaboration album with Statik Selektah, Well Done.
