Remixing the Holidays: Hip Hop Holiday Music
It’s the week before Christmas, and as usual, we’re celebrating with our annual ?Remixing the Holidays? series. All week long, we’ll be talking with musicians, music lovers, writers, and you, our listeners, about the best songs of the season. We kick things off with Jon Solomon. For over twenty years, Jon ? who is Jewish, by the way ? has been hosting Princeton University’s 24-hour Christmas special on WPRB.
This year, he’s decided to walk us through the often underappreciated genre of hip-hop holiday music. And he’s here to reassure us: it goes far beyond Run-DMC’s “Christmas in Hollis.”
At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.
Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
