I’m getting a little antsy waiting on Action Bronson’s new tape Blue Chips 7000, so I decided to dive deep into his archives and check out the first tape he ever released—The Program produced by Don Producci. Not sure why I’ve never listened to this considering Bam Bam’s my favorite rapper ever—I always considered Dr. Lecter to be his true debut—but there’s some dope shit on here! “Amuse Bouche” is my early favorite, and there are others with that same Dr. Lecter-era Bronson feel too.
