What else we got in that sack, Santa? How bout some Christian Hip Hop from Illijam & Magoh of the Count It Loss collective? The thought behind "Count It Loss Christmas" is that a fundamentally religious holiday has been hijacked by commercialism and greed and the real meaning of the holiday is lost, leaving some Christians down and defensive. Now, without being cantankerous and going into how the Christians, centuries ago, hijacked the dates and trappings of Pagan Solstice celebrations (do not judge lest ye be judged; do not hijack lest ye be hijacked), Count it loss says their message is to keep the true meaning of Christmas close to your heart and share it with anyone who will listen. And on that, I think we can agree. Dig the beats, yo. Free on Soundcloud.

I know our good friends at Christmas Underground covered this 2013 release thoroughly back in September, but I just stumbled across the Roxy Roca video and the news that they'll be releasing a 7" of "It Ain't Christmas Without You" backed with an all-new recording of "Back Door Santa" later this year.
"Noise To The World" was put out by the Converse people last year. It contains 7 tracks from 7 bands--from Funk to Punk--and it's all good. You can still download the set free via Soundcloud or direct from Converse. I'm particularly in love with Roxy Roca, right now. Yes, I feel the need to Funk it all up. Roxy Roca is an Austin based band and they make a righteous noise. Visit the band at their web home or on Facebook. |
