bill_mukang This album spoke to me, half way around the world, about making the Christmas vibe wb wherever you are. Musical sensibility on full display, sampling Yule sounds, buoyed by bass. Instant classic!

about

He brought the basslines back.

On his new joint, The Kev Brown Holiday Special, Kev brings the basslines back. When you think of holiday music, you don't think first of basslines. But this
is a Kev Brown album, so we get all the usual holiday feels, but we also get those basslines.

But I'm getting ahead of myself. A holiday album at its core has to give you that holiday feel. You gotta feel that vibe. It has to be festive. This isn't lost on Kev.
Songs like "Let's Go Play and Stuff", "Fun", and "Pajamas and Hot Chocolate" really bring that holiday vibe. Like, you can run this album in the background
while you open presents, or have it playing when the grandparents arrive. You can put in a shuffle with the classic Temptations and O'Jays holiday records and not lose the vibe.

And yet, these songs still work as a hip hop record. Which brings me back to those basslines. As a Hip hop head, you can still appreciate these records, just for being
some dope ass beats. Kev doesn't sacrifice the funk. You can close your eyes and while listening to "Fun" and see Christmas, and yet you can still
hear a hot 16 too. And he really gets in his bag on Futuristic Angel, pushing the envelope with synthy bass that lives up to its Future namesake.

If you like Christmas and like hip hop, you need this. You want to play some Christmas music for the fam but still want beats, you need this.
Got a heartbeat and like music? You get the idea.
