Action took part in the Atlanta festivities.

If Action Bronson is viewed as an up-and-comer on any hip-hop scene, he should be offended. His recent catalog of free and retail releases are rivaled by very few over the past few years, and his growing working relationship with Harry Fraud have certainly made him and underground staple, and his recent activity will push him even closer to the mainstream.

Bronson was invited to the BET Hip-Hop Awards not as a bystander, but as a participant, and a video clip of his contribution has surfaced on the internet. The rap game’s favorite chef took center stage in Atlanta and spit some bars for the occasion, marking another rung on the ladder he’s been climbing since first bursting on the scene over 3 years ago. You can catch the full version of his, Kendrick Lamar’s oft talked about freestyle, and the rest of the BET Cyphers this coming Sunday when the awards air.
