Michael Christmas had a highly successful year and he's clearly about to bring the momentum into 2019. Today marks the final Friday of the year, which also means it's the last Friday that artists will be dropping any music. Today, Christmas ends a highly productive year with a bang by releasing two new singles.
Michael Christmas comes through with a little offering that might land on your NYE playlist. "Sideways" is an abrasive banger that finds Christmas flexing his flow over an aggressive beat. The rapper released the song alongside "Say Cheese" with Elevator Jay.
Christmas blessed fans playlist this year with his project Role Model which he released through A-Trak's Fool's Gold record label. The project features appearances from Domo Genesis, Cousin Stizz and more.
Hopefully, Michael Christmas has more music in the stash to drop off for us at the top of the new year. Keep your eyes peeled.
Quotable Lyrics
I can't take it, uh, I can't fake the funk
I won't make it, uh, bitch I need help
Bad cards get dealt
Turn that shit to wealth
