One of my favorite times in winter is at night, during a silent snow fall, and every sound is muted. Its as if God has turned the volume down on the Earth. There is a sort of warmth in this silence and it lulls you. This is the feeling I go for in Some Hip Hop for a Snowy Day.
Some Hip Hop for a Snowy Day may be one of my favorite mixes to make. I usually keep it shorter in time with a tempo that encourages one to get warm with some hot chocolate and be glad you're indoors. Though hip hop is the main genre represented, I try and push what could be considered, or incorporated within a hip hop mix.
So, without further ado, here it is the 4th Annual 'Some Hip Hop for a Snowy Day'
