Yuletide Bangers, Jonwayne (self-issued)

This 17-cut collection of hip-hop cut-and-pastes comes to us from LA rapper and producer Jonwayne, and while it's more like the Santastic series of mashups than rap, it's not quite in the same classification as those collections in terms of yielding individual cuts that stand up in the same way as regular songs in your holiday mixes. Still, the songs, most less than two minutes long, have their moments, as they throw all sorts of obvious holiday totems, from whole songs like "This Christmas," "Christmas Time Is Here," and "Wonderful Christmastime," to snippets of TV and movies from "A Christmas Story" to "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation," into the digital kitchen blender. I envision these tunes being used as bumpers in podcasts or inside playlists and mixtapes, or as soundtrack incidental music for holiday videos. From 2018.
