Dreaming of a Black Christmas, Freeway Releases ‘Black Santa’ EP

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: | Updated on January 3, 2013 CommentsComments (0)

Freeway from the two-one-fifth is spreading his own brand of holiday cheer with the release of his nine-song EP, Black Santa

According to our soulful friends across the pond at Soul Culture, “the mixtape draws from common Christmas melodies to create some holiday tunes fit for the energetic Philadelphia emcee to rip and roar over. Some tracks, such as the previously heard “Roc Reloaded,” don’t really have much to do with Christmas at all. But hey, who are we to complain when Black Santa comes to stuff our stockings?”

Can’t argue with that, but not sure how I would feel catching that dude creeping across roofs carrying a sack of goods.

TrackListing:

1. Black Santa (Prod. by Statik Selektah)
2. This Is It (Prod. by DJ SNS)
3. Let It Go ft. Saint Sann & Gillie Da Kid (Prod. by Most Famous)
4. DJ Self Interlude
5. Steve Young Jerry Rice ft. Sir Wooda & Adrien “The Problem” Broner (Prod. by EX)

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
