The holiday albums were extra plentiful this season. Over the past week or so and even going back to early November, HNHH covered a good amount of Christmas-themed records. Artists such as GIVEON, Troy Ave, and Jim Jones were spreading their versions of how they make tapes like this. Erica Banks and Luh Tyler left some gifts in the stockings in the form of singles. We can also add 50 Cent to the nice list this year.
He and legendary producer, Cookin Soul, got an LP out just before Christmas Day. The duo put it out on all streaming platforms, including bandcamp as well. According to HipHopDX, other versions of this album included vocals from MF DOOM and A Tribe Called Quest. How 50 and Cookin got this done, was by using some of the G-Unit's material from his mixtape phase.
