In Season 1 I think I played a few songs for Christmas, but I thought it'd be dull to do a full hour devoted to Holiday Hip Hop. I was wrong. This is some fire. Feet up, nog in a cup, tree lit, log on the fire type fire. When I really got to thinking about it, I knew a lot of Xmas rap records.
This episode is far from all old school Christmas classics, only one makes an appearance really. I even got 2 brand new tracks from Alberta based artists Rubix and Deuce Fantastick for the show (Rubix hooked up an exclusive that isn't anywhere else online, for now), and a couple other newly released festive offerings from Canadians XL the Band, Swollen Members, Moka Only, and Classified. The Classified track I spent too much time dropping a Dre sample behind just to make it extra full of bells dinging and umm, donging?.
Happy holidays. Whatever you celebrate, stay safe, stay warm, and take care of each other.
