It’s about that time of the year again when the mooks get together and celebrate what life has offered us. The festivities begin as we take this occasion to show love to our family members who put up with our shit all year round, the eggnog tastes as good going down our throats at suppertime than when it comes out of our mouths when we puke it at the end of our alcohol-infused nights. Santa doesn’t come around the hood no more, that’s why we share our bottles of Hennessy and pass around the blunts to all the homies ’cause family is what always comes first. It’s also that time of the year when we have a moment of silence for those who left us too early and for those who will spend the holidays behind bars.

As the shopping mall music blasts X-Mas classics on loop and slowly brainwashes the consumer to spend his paycheck, Mook-Life has decided to bring you our own flavor to this holiday season. Once again we’ve assembled our favorite mook producers to cook up their own personal recipe for the seasonal vibe. Not only have they dug into the vaults for some exclusive holiday music samples, but they’ve also dug into their family photo albums for an exclusive childhood XMAS pic. For this special Christmas edition of the Rice Report, we hit you with some holiday themed bangers that will even make your grandma get out of the dining room chair and Harlem Shake the night away.

KILLA-EF

For the introduction to this post, we had our number one mook KILLA-EF bless us with a little dedication on a beat I cooked up for him. Let’s kick off this holiday season with the 2011 official MOOK-LIFE X-MAS talk:

THE TEKNITION

Murderface’s own in-house producer and emcee blessed us with a Christmas banger adjusted to his style. Some good sample and movie snippet digging on this one. HO-HO-HO, have a Merry Christmas you filthy animals!

DJ BUDDABLAZE

Montreal hip hop pioneer and Kahnawake mook representative Budda Blaze hit us with two exclusive joints for the holiday season. I’m loving how he flipped these already classic tracks and turned them into timeless beats. Here are his joints ‘Little Drummer Mook’ and ‘XMAS Daze Are Here’.

XMAS DAZE ARE HERE:

LITTLE DRUMMER MOOK:

80 ROCK

It’s never really Christmas without that good old soul song that warms the heart and makes the Hennessy go down smoother. The homie 80Rock kills it with that soulful holiday audio crack that would even make the Grinch get jiggy.

MASTERBEATER

Masterbeater hit us off with a sick beat that perfectly matches the freezing cold weather we’re getting this season. He rearranged a midi file for the melody and added his own instruments, no samples except for the drums. This track has me feeling like I’m in an XMAS cartoon right now.

DJ NAES / TOAST DIZZY

Payz Play representative Dj Naes blessed us with his own rendition of a holiday melody. Dope shit right here man, it’s all about them synths. Don’t sleep on their latest mixtape hosted by the good peoples at 10kilos, at this link here:

NOEL BRUN PALE:

JOHNNY ILLDIGGER

Last but not least we have our Battle of the Beats champion and sample digging professional Johnny Illdigger who not only hit us with some holiday funk but with THREE Christmas time audios. Warning, these are bass-heavy beats so you better show respect and use a capable sound system. Laptop speakers won’t do justice to these.

XMAS DARK MAS:

TOO MUCH WHISKEY EGG NOG:

SMOKIN MISSILE TOE LEAFS:

Best wishes to the homeless dude on my street corner who still shook my hand even if I didn’t have any change for him. Mad respect to our parents and siblings who will have our backs for life. Shout outs to the goons who will squash beef this holiday season and who’ll be sharing shots instead of busting shots. The holiday spirit has never been so strong and we hope you enjoyed the soundtrack for the season courtesy of some of our favorite producers. From all of us here at Mook Life…Happy Holidays!
