VARIOUS – Christmas Rap (2023 Reissue) – LP – Red and White Split Coloured Vinyl

LP – Limited EditionRed and White Split Coloured Vinyl.

Re-issue of the 1987 Profile Records holiday compilation in a red and white split coloured pressing, with songs by Run-DMC, Dana Dane, Sweet Tee, The Showboys, The Surf M.C.s, Spyder-D, and more. Leading off with the Run-DMC smash, “Christmas In Hollis,” this classic Christmas compilation features some of the hottest rap artists of the era, celebrating the holidays, hip-hop style. Highlights include Dana Danes “Dana Dane Is Coming To Town,” Sweet Tees “Let The Jingle Bells Rock” and even the Surf MC‘s’ “A Surf MC New Year,” adding a California surfer (and, ahem, Beastie Boys rip-off) twist to the proceedings. Not to be overlooked is the classic front and back cover artwork, featuring a gift-wrapped B-Boy. It remains an essential, evergreen (pun intended) holiday album to this day.
