Free Christmas Hip-Hop from @SyntaxRecords

When it comes to giving away music at Christmas time, I’m not sure anyone can compete with Syntax Records this year – they’re released no less then 7 different downloads through their Twitter account – both Christmas songs, and free mixtapes.  And get this – they even recorded the Syntax staff singing “We Wish You A Merry Christmas”, just for fun.  Here’s a list of all the downloads they’ve released via Twitter lately:

• MaxOne – “Multi-Tasking Maxtape”
• Syntax Staff – “We Wish You A Merry Christmas”
• Shane Newville – “The Brightest and Best of the Sons of the Morning”
• Sam Hart – “Joy to the World (The Romantic)”
• Shane Newville – “Jingle Bells”
• Gibraan & Tonex – “Lonely Christmas”
• Othello – “Seasons Greetings”
• “Thee Three Kings”
• “Here’s A Greeting”
• Jeremiah Bonds – “Customer Developement”

Now, I haven’t heard all of those songs, and I’m not 100% about the artists/song titles (let me know if there’s any errors), but that should give you a pretty fair idea of what’s available.  For the latest, I recommend you follow Syntax on Twitter at @syntaxrecords (even besides the music, they really are pretty cool people.)  Enjoy!

22. JustMe & Sintax the Terrific – “Death Is Real”

On top of that, there’s also three Illectronica bonus songs, from J. Davis and Dert.  If hip-hop is you’re thing, this is one you’re not going to want to miss.  Just check Illect’s website and sign up for their mailing list, and you can get all 25 songs delivered in one .zip file to your inbox.  Enjoy!
