My Ultimate Christmas Playlist: Yo! Ho Ho
Ah, yes. Early 90s Christian hip hop Christmas music. Yup. There was such a genre. It was very niche-specific. And I think it only consisted of one album. And I owned that album. Don’t judge. It was the early 90s.
Yeah, the song’s kind of corny. But so is Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, when you really think about it. I can’t help but smile when I listen to this song. I even find myself chuckling at times. Sometimes it’s because the song’s so corny. But there are other times it’s because this song brings back some fun memories from 1990-ish.
If you followed DC Talk at all during their early days (pre Jesus Freak), then this song will probably put a smile on your face, too.
But wait, there’s more! The album also contained the audio track of this song without the vocals. You and your friends could be the hit of all the Christmas parties.

This Christmas Hip Hop album that featured numerous unknown artists in a relatively new music Genre-Rap/Hip Hop is from 1990. My wife picked it up at the local Christian Bookstore in the clearance rack of cassettes. I asked Margaret what the heck was she thinking. But the kids loved it! So I had to listen to it, especially on road trips over the holidays. I was amazed as I heard how this music genre emphasizes the message and not so much the music. We need to have it at Christmas time every year since-even 30 years later! It especially was loved by my youngest so who was promoted to heaven less than a year ago. I am 67 now and it is on the top of our family Christmas tradition!
It is an incredible way to communicate the Christmas message! D
