In the kingdom of Yuletide rap, Super Saiyan Jay’s “GC Presents An Unplanned Christmas” EP materializes like an unexpected present wrapped in beats and bars. With just a duo of tracks, the conciseness of this holiday offering echoes the fleeting essence of December’s festive spirit—yet its impact is as enduring as any classic carol.
From the outset, “Deck The Halls” crowns itself as a reveler’s anthem—a fusion of thumping bass lines with merry mischief that could likely ignite dance floors even beyond Santa’s realm. Its party-focused vibe conjures images of tinsel-decorated turntables, a modern-day sonic sleigh ride tailor-made for hip hop heads eager to rock their ugly Christmas sweaters.
Swaying to another rhythm is “Wish List,” serving up warm rhythmic hot chocolate topped with sentimental rhymes. This track harks back to old-school hip hop cheer while charmingly weaving tales not just of lavish desires but also heartfelt wishes—to care deeply for someone amidst the glitz can resonate powerfully when authentically spun by Super Saiyan Jay.
Recorded at Palm Beach studio under Oscar’s technical mastery, there’s raw authenticity in each cut—a testament to an unplanned project that feels fortuitous rather than manufactured. One might think combining rap and festive tunes would yield garland-covered gimmicks; instead, it delivers astonishing subtleties—an urban soundscape decorated with sincerity and swaggering seasonal joy.
While only covering a couple of songs may leave some listeners craving more winter chronicles from this dynamic artist, Super Saiyan Jay masters distillation—the artful compactness evokes greater appreciation for each mesmerizing hook and clever lyric composed amid jingle-bell jubilation. Cheers to fresh Noel narratives where “GC Presents An Unplanned Christmas” is not just observed but celebrated—with flair.
