 Always nice to find something different, fresh and original. How bout some Hip Hop Gospel with Jazz. Outreach 24/7 is a Washington, DC based ensemble noted for being simultaneously laid back and funky. Here, Outreach 24/7 covers "The Christmas Song", gives the lyrics a religious makeover, and includes a couple of Jazz solos in the break, a little guitar spot from Eric Blake and a whirl on the keyboards from Tree Walters. Sweet! You can hear and download the song free on Reverbnation.

 Hip Hop Gospel? I don't know, but somehow the combination never really occurred to me. But here it is. Gospel Hip Hop. Or, as others have called it, "thuggin' in the name of Jesus". J Prophet is from Connecticut and he's also a Yale Divinity student. So I'm pretty sure he knows his Gospel, but his Hip Hop might be suspect. I mean, are there really mean streets in Connecticut? Alright, to be fair, he's originally from Cleveland. "Merry Christmas To You" is alright--fair to middling. Nothing essential. But its free at Bandcamp, if you're interested. We already told you about this one, but we didn't know you could get it FREE. Got the widget from Rolling Stone, so please feel free to go there and read their review and use their widget. (Hey, it says "share" right there in the middle, see?) Rolling Stone also reports that Simon will tour to support his forthcoming album, "So Beautiful Or So What", from which this song is drawn.
