“The dolphin is one of the most intelligent creatures ever created on whatever planet we're on,” Action Bronson said in a press release. “They have their own way of communicating. They have nuance and intangibles like we do.” Bronson also compared the dolphin to a “five-tool” baseball player. “The only people who understand me are those five-tool players, those higher beings who are on the same telepathic wave as me,” he said.

In addition to the album, Bronson will be releasing a signature scent called “Splash,” as well as dolphin stuffed animals, his own ice cream flavor (a burnt guava marshmallow tres leches), and a corresponding ice cream cake, both in partnership with Morgenstern’s Finest Ice Cream. “I get inspiration from all around the world and I make what I want,” Bronson said. “I wanted to make sure that I hit everything on this project. We’re giving you the auditory. We’re giving you the visual. The olfactory. Your taste buds. There isn’t a physical sensation that Only for Dolphins doesn’t cover.”

Action Bronson’s most recent full-length album was 2018’s White Bronco. Last year, Bronson dropped his Lamb Over Rice EP.
