That’s what exactly Noisey did when they booked Action Bronson to perform “Strictly 4 My Jeeps” in a nursing home in England. Despite giving the performance of his life, the elderly crowd was none too pleased and gave Bam Bam a measly 5.2 rating. To his defence, though, half the crowd complained they couldn’t actually hear him.

Were you happy with how I Am Not A Human Being II came out and the public response to it?
Overall I felt good about the project because I approached it in a manner of—and this may sound silly—trying to be underground.

The city of Detroit is going through some of the toughest times that it has ever faced. Recently, the Motor City filed for Chapter 9 Bankruptcy and the future of the American city is uncertain.
