Action Bronson’s 2017 release found the rapper leaning into a more sample-heavy, sample-averse, and sample-indebted sound, a stark contrast to the live instrumentation of its predecessor. The album notably features a full production cast of Statik Selektah, Party Supplies, and Mayor, with Bronson rapping over beats that largely eschewed the live band arrangements that had become a staple of his recent work.
- The album's title is a nod to the Bruce Lee film "The Big Boss," which Bronson has cited as an influence.
- The project was executive produced by Bronson himself alongside Paul Rosenberg and VI Music.
- "Blue Chips 7000" was Action Bronson's final release with Vice Records.
Action Bronson is a Queens-born, former chef turned rapper, known for his larger-than-life personality and vivid, often culinary-themed, lyricism. Blue Chips 7000 arrived midway through his career, following a period of increased mainstream attention and ahead of a planned hiatus from music.
