Bronson announced the release on Instagram, celebrating life and enjoyment. He thanked fans, both old and new, for their support and enthusiasm for his work. The announcement was heartfelt and resonated with many of his followers.
The album serves as a follow-up to ‘Cocodrillo Turbo,’ which was released in April 2022. That album was met with positive reviews and featured collaborations with notable artists like Conway The Machine and Roc Marciano.
HipHopDX writer Ben Brutocao praised ‘Cocodrillo Turbo’ as a ‘fascinating’ and ‘deeply theatrical’ album where Bronson serves as both adventurer and titular crocodile. This new album seems poised to continue the high standard set by its predecessor.
Questlove, the drummer for The Roots and a hip-hop historian, was particularly impressed with ‘Cocodrillo Turbo,’ stating on social media that he was mind-blown by Bronson’s work. This positive reinforcement adds to the anticipation and excitement surrounding the new release.
