So to get on top of my Christmas game I started looking for some "good" Christmas tunes. My ears were open and eager for something other than The Chipmunks and Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire. I had heard a few Christmas hiop-hop albums but I really just wanted something nice and traditional sounding. Wasn't really sure what I wanted but I just knew my collection needed help! So, while shopping with my wife in Forever21 there it was... GOOD Christmas Music! (I know weird right?)
The very first song I heard was tribal drum sounding and almost moombah-ish (side note: Moombah is a new form of music where you slow down House music to sound like Reggaeton and it usually has a little bit of hip-hop element to it). The next song had a similar "hippster" type feel (another word you should google). My cell service (AT&T) was tripping so I couldnt Shazam anything! (ok sorry last weird word - older generation readers, Shazam is an app that finds songs by hearing them, get it!).
When we got home that night my wife, a detective and google expert, helped me find exactly what we heard in the store. It was remixed Christmas music, and it was really good! I guess they found a variety of remixers to help produce tracks and its actually pretty dope stuff. Ive downloaded both albums, part 1 & 2 and even noticed the homie Ohmega Watts is featured on it. I will say after listening Volume 1 is wayyy better than Volume 2.
So in the joyous spirit of the traditional American Christmas I wanted to say, "Feliz Navidad" and here is some music that might help you with your Scroogeness and brighten up almost any light tour.
