Rudolph
We’re diving into some serious holiday vibes with a spotlight on the classic tune, "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." You’ll hear how the late rapper DMX brought a fresh twist to this beloved song during a fun moment at Power 105 in New York City. I printed out the lyrics and challenged him to lay down some lines, and let me tell you, it was pure joy. We’re talking about the spirit of Christmas, comfort food, and a reminder that we all have our own unique shine, just like Rudolph. So grab your hot cocoa, get comfy, and let’s soak in this festive nostalgia together.
