Nobody does real talk like Reggie Ossé a.k.a. Combat Jack. The former rap industry attorney, media executive, author, and Internet radio talk-show personality now hosts The Combat Jack Show, where hip-hop's biggest names are put on the front line. The questions will be tough—and shots will be fired. Co-hosted by Dallas Penn, Premium Pete, and Just Blaze, The Combat Jack Show appears every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday on Complex TV.
In this episode of The Combat Jack Show Action Bronson talks about his entertaining stage show. From body slamming a fan in Boston to putting another in time-out, Bronson says he channels the wrestlers of ECW every time he hits the stage. "I build my show after that," he says. "They would be jumping off of the balcony and flying into the crowd. That's really where I got my show from. It all stems from that."
Action Bronson has a history of working on projects with just one producer. One of his usual studio pals is Party Supplies. Together they have released two incredible mixtapes, Blue Chips and Blue Chips 2. He's also done collaborative projects with Harry Fraud, Statik Selektah, The Alchemist, and Tommy Mas. Combat Jack asks Bronson if there's any other producers out there that he'd to work with. Bronson says there's a few in mind, but he would be hesitant to make it happen. "Obviously Pete Rock, [DJ]Premier, RZA. But this is all past prime," admits Bronson. "To work with them now would be like I'm trying to recapture something that happened in the '90s. I'm not for that."
