Michael Christmas: “Nissan Altima”
Sure, this track is 4-years old, but it’s named after a car with an 84 out of 100 reliability rating. That puts “Nissan Altima” in the “great reliability” category for J.D. Powers. If the car has staying power, so does the track. The Boston rapper Michael Christmas delivers a woozy beat topped by verses with – are we hearing this right? – maybe a little drrrty South influence. Medium tempo and laid back, running late, but always right on time. Honorary member of the #XMAS4EVA club in virtue of the name alone. Off the full-length Hiding.
