Action Figure 973 "I MISS MAKING BEATS" [ALBUM]

The title is a statement of purpose, and the credit block backs it up: produced entirely by Action Figure 973, with every rap written and performed by one of the eleven guests. He does not appear on the microphone himself. The album's own note explains the premise in a single line these are beats that were sitting on his phone and deserved to see daylight which is a more honest description of a producer compilation than most. Action Figure 973 works out of Belleville, New Jersey, and the 973 in the name is simply the area code; he chose it over any explanation for the rest. He performs as a luchador, a masked pro-wrestling identity in the tradition that runs closer to MF DOOM than to anything else in rap right now, and the track titles carry the concept without ever making it a costume drama: "DDP Intro," "DDP 2," "Pillman 9 Mili," "Extreme Queen," "Teddy Sanchez." The other half of the titles are food "Red Lobster Biscuits," "Chinese Food," "'95 Denver Nuggets" which is the joke, and it never stops being funny. What he does on the record is curate. EricTheRed13 appears twice, and the rest of the roster HooksArthur, Echo, MC Wicks, Jay Rhymes, Bizzle, Con$piracy, Hound, Greybeard, Lex, Kesper, SHIRT, Act-Lo get one track each, most of them under three minutes, the whole thing running twenty-seven. Four separate names are listed on mix and master with no per-track attribution, which is consistent with a record assembled from material made at different times by different people and finished in batches. He has been prolific since 2022 two mixtapes, fifteen EPs, three albums and released a joint project with twogeebs earlier this year. This one is the producer stepping back and letting the phone's worth of beats carry it.
