This song is the first single from his upcoming album, titled Mr. Wonderful. The lyrical presentation of this song is in his established style, which is to say, it&#8217;s completely off the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As usual, this video is just fun, and discards many of the tired conventions of rap. The music production, as in all of his music, is unconventional, funk and rock-influened, and oozes character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An obese blue-eyed, red-bearded Albanian\u00a0trekking cross country on a chopper,\u00a0hallucinating on LSD while rapping. Amazing, and roughly in-line with everything else that this guy does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read about\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Action_Bronson\">Action Bronson\u00a0on Wikipedia<\/a>\u00a0or check out\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/rap.genius.com\/Action-bronson-easy-rider-lyrics\">Easy Rider\u00a0on Rap Genius<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Action Bronson &#8211;
