New Orleans Hip-Hop for Christmas with Raj Smoove and 504icygrl

Season six of 12 Songs comes to a close with some of the
highlights from the 2023 holiday season and a conversation with
DJ/producer/business guy Raj Smoove and rapper/producer 504icygrl
about the new Christmas in New Orleans EP. Raj and Icy
talk about Christmas, community, business, and the historically
awkward fit between hip-hop and Christmas music. 


In the episode, I mention the Daily Beast story I wrote on
Cher's Christmas and Christmas music in October, the
streaming version of my Christmas playlist, Bill Adler's Xmas
Jollies 2023 and Jim Goodwin of
ChristmasUnderground.com's I'm an Igloo playlist.
