  • Action Bronson Shares 'Actin Crazy,' Details 'Mr. Wonderful' [LISTEN]

    Queens rapper Action Bronson has shared a new track titled "Actin Crazy" from his upcoming album "Mr. Wonderful," which you can check out below — you can check out the insane yet incredible cover art above. The track, produced by 40 and Omen, is a refreshing change of pace from the typical trap beats you hear in modern hip-hop, with a woozy, constantly swelling sound reminiscent of something that MF Doom or Madlib would have done on "Madvillainy" — in simpler terms, it is great.

Today, FlyLo is back with "Masquatch," another weird yet incredible song from the soundtrack, featuring underground hip-hop visionary DOOM (a.k.a. MF DOOM, a.k.a. Viktor Vaughn, a.k.a. King Geedorah). The track's extremely brief running time (it comes it under two minutes) is reminiscent of DOOM's classic Madlib collaboration Madvillain, and its abstract, hookless production wouldn't sound out of place on their Madvillainy LP.
