I’ll be real. I f@cking hate Christmas time. Call me “Scrooge” or whatever, but most of the time during the holiday season, I’m broke, tired, and stressed out. And I think that’s the case with a lotta of us during this time of the year. So, if you didn’t already figure it out, this will not be the obvious Song of the Week post with X-Mas related songs, this is the one that gives you songs to (hopefully) relieve some stress. The first is Joell Ortiz & Novel going over Drake & Trey’s hit with “Stressful” (Off the upcoming mixtape Defying The Predictable). The second is the classic A Tribe Called Quest/Faith collaboration “Stressed Out” (Off 1996’s Beats, Rhymes And Life). Enjoy and calm down.
