This is the last episode of the show for 2016 and the “DJ Bruh Bruh in the Morning *Nights*” Hip-Hop Holidays Special! All the songs played during the show (or at the very least their title) should get you into the holiday spirit. Please join me in 2017, when I come back with my top albums of the year list.
Artist | Song | Album | Record Label | DJ Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|
Gucci Mane | St. Brick Intro | East Atlanta Santa 3 | Gucci Mane is out of the feds this year delivering real street Trap Rap to all the good boys and girls of Zone 6. | |
Snoop Dogg | Santa Clause Goes Straight to the Ghetto (feat. Daz Dillinger, Nate Dogg, Tray Deee & Bad Azz) | Christmas On Death Row | A classic James Brown Christmas song cover with a special flair from Snoop Dogg and the Death Row gang. | |
Tha Dogg Pound | I Wish | Christmas On Death Row | ||
Isaiah Rashad | Heavenly Father | Cilvia Demo | ||
J Cole | Black Friday | J Cole spits some bars over Kendrick's "Alright" beat, mostley brag rapping but also dissing the promotion of recreational cough syrup (lean) use by some rappers. | ||
Kendrick Lamar | Black Friday | King Kendrick does nothing but spit bars on Cole's "A Tale Of 2 Citiez". No hooks needed. | ||
Tech N9ne | Red Nose | Sickology 101 | A dark, moody rap song about isolation... that references Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer? Sure. Why not? | |
Injury Reserve | Snowmen (feat. GLASSPOPCORN) | Live from the Dentist Office | IR is an up incoming Rap group from Tempe AZ, with a quirky, funky, and jazzy sound. I look forward to their new project "Floss", that is on the way Dec 15. | |
Kanye West | Christmas in Harlem | A gem from Kanye's "Good Fridays" series. | ||
Mac Miller | Baby It's Cold Outside (feat. Ariana Grande) | While I find the original song's lyrics to be kind of creepy, the vocal by the now dating Mac and Ariana are wonderfully warm, sweet, and loving. | ||
Ludacris | Ludacrismas | Originally recorded to accompany the motion picture Fed Claus, this is a fun, raucous holiday Hip-Hop song with a great southern boom flair, which I have come to expect from Luda. | ||
Run The Jewels | A Christmas F*cking Miracle | Run The Jewels | This is probably still my favorite RTJ song, capturing most everything I love about the group in a sarcastic holiday banger! "Run the Yules!" |
