    This Hulk Hogan of Hip Hop straight out of Flushing, Queens, New York.

    Known for slamming crazy fans, stage crew and folks while rapping on stage, is set to perform at this year’s SXSW and I plan to be in the front row to witness any wrestling tactics by this emcee.

    Having built a major buzz on the indie circuit, Bronson is pretty much everywhere now — commercial radio, podcasts — yet still maintaining his authentic persona and rap styles that are totally unique today.
