"The Bronson Burger could've easily won any category at that place," he proclaims, casually asserting his culinary confidence.

Combining gut-busting humor, complex lyrical food references, and a vast understanding of street culture, Action Bronson carved out his own lane last year with undeniable mic skills and gregariously offbeat charisma. After self-releasing acclaimed debut "Dr. Lecter" and a well-received collaborative album with producer Statik Selectah ("Well-Done," on DCide), Bronson's latest effort, "Blue Chips," finds the Queens native teaming with Fool's Good Records producer Party Supplies and sneaker brand Reebok for an off-the-cuff free mixtape.

Much like Bronson's endless punch lines, "Blue Chips," out today (March 12) on Complex.com, took shape in an easygoing studio atmosphere. "The original thing I wanted to call it was '5 Minute Beats and 1 Take Raps' [because] that's pretty much all it really was," Bronson reveals. "It was all on the fly shit," agrees Party Supplies. "It wasn't thought out."

Most of "Blue Chips" was made in Party Supplies' home studio in Brooklyn over YouTube sample digging, grub from local chicken joint Pies 'n' Thighs, and obligatory smoke sessions.

Action Bronson + Party Supplies, "Blue Chips"

"I jumped on YouTube, found some weird obscure sample -- basically started looping it on the drum machine and [Bronson] wrote some shit," Party Supplies says of the recording. "It's digging in the crates," Bronson adds. " is digging nonetheless. It's still hard to find [the gems]."

The spontaneous environment spurred some choice moments of carefree collaboration. "Party Supplies helped me out on a rhyme, on the song 'Blue Chips,'" laughs Bronson. "He actually was saying things to me and I was turning them into rap."

That open-minded attitude attracted Reebok, leading it to fund the project and sponsor the release. "They're very progressive. They're both two different people, both very creative," says Reebok head of entertainment for global Matt Pantoja, a hip-hop fan and friend of managers Dante Ross (Bronson) and Peter Oasis (Party Supplies). "Everybody's talking about bringing New York back and all these things, and I felt like this was something that was going to create that kind of energy and get people psyched on the project."

For both artists, the Reebok deal was a chance to pair with one of their favorite brands. "Reebok introduced the idea to us, we were into it, and we love Reebok. [They're] such a classic company," Party Supplies says. "I grew up wearing them shits," affirms Bronson. "I wear the Kamakazi and I still have a lot of old school Reeboks today: the Pumps, the Michael Chang's, the Shaq's."

I Adore You
Action Bronson & Party Supplies Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Open eyes, light the joint, take a piss
Make two farm fresh scrambled
Eggs with the grit's
Classic club soda, splash with the twist
Lime placed on my wrist: custom Swiss time
Hit the slopes, custom case for the smoke
Lifted up
Flour for the cake getting sifted up

Make it fluffy poof
Bring your fucking buttcheeks here boof
Man, I fucking stand on my own
Pockets getting thick like Luthor
Hundred dollars all it takes to get
A kid to shoot ya
Dip to the Red Roof Inn, have a sandwich
At 7: 30, on the Greyhound back to Kansas
My life is written
You sittin' while you pissin'
I'm only sittin' if I'm shittin'
And I'm shittin' often, I'm a boss
Smokin' while I'm coughin' 50 piece
A mummy that was laid inside the coffin
Extract the blood from the mosquito
In the amber
Deion Sanders on my feet inside the Regal
My shorty tan, last name Esposito
And gettin' money every day my destiny though
You could mistake me for a truck driver
On the strip, paying 30 for a muff diver
She had the red pussy hairs like a brush fire
Peace to Jamaican big girl, 'nuff iyah

Girl, why you running from me?
Bitch I adore you
Come back sit in the chair baby you're royal
No one above you, need you in my life

What I would do without you? I need you
Standby please don't go

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "I Adore You" by Action Bronson & Party Supplies depict a scene of the singer's daily routine, filled with mundane activities and extravagant indulgences. The opening lines paint a casual picture of the singer's morning rituals, from lighting a joint to making breakfast. The mention of "farm fresh scrambled eggs" and "grit's" suggests a desire for a simple yet satisfying start to the day.

The lyrics then transition to the singer's luxurious habits and expensive tastes. They mention custom Swiss timepieces, a custom case for smoking, and even a reference to Deion Sanders, a former American football player known for his flamboyant style. The mention of pockets getting "thick like Luthor" suggests a growing wealth and power.

Despite the outward display of opulence, the singer acknowledges their own solid grounding and self-sufficiency. They claim to stand on their own and assert dominance, reflected in lyrics such as "I'm a boss" and "my life is written." This juxtaposition of lavishness with a sense of control and self-confidence sets the tone for the song.

The chorus reveals a vulnerable side, as the singer sings of their adoration for a woman who seems to be running away from them. They express a deep desire for her presence and acknowledge that she holds a significant role in their life. The plea of "standby please don't go" suggests a fear of losing her and emphasizes their emotional dependence on her.

Overall, "I Adore You" captures the duality of the singer's life, combining excessive extravagance with deep desires and emotional vulnerability.
