(THE ZING WHO STOLE CHRISTMAS)

You know I had to do this surprise drop. A build-up to the announcement of a brand-new Christmas-themed record by the Dawg himself! The man who has set the culture on fire with one of the most wavy, original, and gritty discographies in 2025. So to celebrate an incredible year for him and FEED THE FAMILY, we are taking a step back in time to 2023, when we tell the story of 

THE ZING WHO STOLE CHRISTMAS! 

So, this is the Christmas 2023 drop by MC powerhouse BORIROCK! On this record, he’s accompanied by producers such as 

– Don Hooto

– MINIMANSIONMELLOS

– Latrell James

– CHUPISNOIZEY

And with only eight tracks, the Boston Grinch came alive to rob the industry of all the aura, wavy energy, and success all for himself! When Bori says ON DAWGZ, he ain’t talking about Max! 

Right from the start, we get exactly what you’d expect to hear from a Bori X Christmas record. I’m talking the most gritty and explosive/expressive, raw, and chaotic adlibs and bars you’ve ever heard in your life but done over classic/old-school Christmas tunes that, dare I say, feel ‘tainted’ by this new wave of boom-bap wavy force that is impossible to ignore or look past!

Maybe it’s because it’s December and I’m consumed in that ‘Christmas Spirit’, but this might be some of my favourite Bori productions I’ve heard in a minute! That unpredictable twist of gritty hip-hop and organic merry music is absolutely magical (in the most savage way imaginable).

This album gives me a strong feeling of the Gucci Mane ‘East Atlanta Santa’ tapes but way more energetic and charismatic with arguably better production match ups! Whether that means that intro track ‘XMAS INTRO’ where it’s literally just Bori going ballistic over a Xmas classic! 

Over whether you’re talking about the track ‘XMAS W DA KRANKS’ which has a more Boom Bap infused Christmas vibe with those trademark piano chords and heavy drums! It’s a combination of Merry and muddy! Whether you’re naughty or nice, it’s all the same to the wavy dawg! 

Then there’s tracks that don’t feel too Christmasy such as the song ‘IN-TUNED’ which has an overwhelming Soul instrumental with that infectious vocal loop with the subtle horns and funky drum patterns! A short and sweet track that provides a type of interlude from the Xmas themes! 

The song ‘BAPE TOWEL’ has what I would consider a gangstas Christmas soundtrack. It’s got those hollow taps in the background that almost sound like reindeer bells! But combined with plucked bass and some hypnotic drum patterns that make this a thugs anthem you’d play in late December, drinking egg nog and mixing candy canes with your Hennessy! 

Even the outro track legit sounds like the Grinches theme. This is what I imagine he plays In his headphones as he robs houses, destroys Christmas In the most wavy way possible! You’ve got those sinister synth chords, subtle plucked strings in the background and absolutely ridiculous drums!

The perfect idea for an outro track with the closure of bells to match! A truly dark and savage way to end!

Bori, whether it’s 2003, 2023, 2033 he’s always gonna hit! Always provide the culture with that high intensity, chaotic atmosphere that puts him on another plane of tiers compared to his contemporaries!

Across this album (as we all expected him to) he goes off in his trademark slang and phrases his recognised adlibs and adrenaline filled performances where he’s always going 1000x miles a second!

His unmatched wavy flow, his unique batch of street poetry and the ability to match his style with any theme or concept! Whether that be Christmas, X Men or Lord Of The Rings. No lane is unattainable to him and he provides it on this record!

There’s not a single boring point on this album and that’s the thing there NEVER is! He’s hype turned human. He’s the definition of endless stamina with a wavy conviction so strong he leaves impressions everywhere he goes that lasts a lifetime!

I can’t lie all, this was one fucking FUN Christmas album. If this was 2 years ago, I can’t wait to see what he’s evolved with next! Make sure you support the man below and buy on bandcamp!
