- Colorado Producer Kid Hum has just released his debut solo LP. The album which is entirely instrumental, is entitled "Fossil Fuel."

You can download the mixtape HERE.

EGG NOG PIMPIN

DOWNLOAD EGG NOG PIMPIN

DOWNLOAD THREE HO'S LIKE SANTA

The homie Lumbajack (Denver,CO) is one of my favorite bloggers, and this is why. Song selection. This dude really knows his Rap.

Things I learned while listening to EGG NOG PIMPIN/THREE HO'S LIKE SANTA:

1. DIPSET has made far more Christmas Music than Bing Crosby.

2. That song I really like off that old Screw Tape is I WISH by THA DOGG POUND. I still like it better chopped and screwed though.

3. For some reason, DIPSET has made a ton of Christmas Music.

Seriously though, check out the play list, this is the pinnacle compilation of Christmas Rap. And i'm pretty sure this dude uploads all this music from his own personal CD collection. (What?!)
