Action Bronson + Mamarazzi + TriCosta

In hip-hop, white rappers tend to be maligned, often on the basis of their skills (or lack thereof)—or even worse, their lack of rap cred. Not Action Bronson. His dopeness transcends race, and he's steeped in New York hip-hop culture in a way that few are. The 315-pound, nasal-voiced Albanian gourmand plays with a real sense of joy; even when he's rapping about shoving a body in a trunk and dumping it in a lake. Perhaps it's his Santa Claus–esque beard that keeps everybody happy. Or it could be his skills. Yeah, let's go with that.
