Westside Boogie And OMB Bloodbath’s ’12 Days Of Bhristmas’ Video Puts A Ratchet Spin On A Holiday Classic
Sorry, there are no partridges or pear trees here. …
Sorry to all the holiday traditionalists out there, but I have some bad news for you: There are no partridges or pear trees in LVRN’s “12 Days Of Bhristmas” video. Instead, highlighted rappers Westside Boogie and OMB Bloodbath count their blessings the hood way, turning the yuletide carol into a ratchet holiday anthem. Just like the label’s previous video for “Feliz Navidad,” this one follows the artists as they record the reworked track in the festively decorated studio for the label’s holiday EP.
Among the gifts that the two rappers receive on the “12 Days Of Bhristmas” are brand new choppers, a trip to the club, an EBT card, a Glock, and a few homemade blunts from the leftover weed in the ashtray. Clearly, they’re not having the white Christmas Bing Crosby and The Drifters were looking forward to. In the video, the lights are even lowered and appropriately hued to take advantage of the theme.
LVRN and Shady Records artist Westside Boogie had a relatively quiet year. Aside from officially changing his name to Westside Boogie to clear up fan confusion about similarly-named artists, he made a couple of guest appearances, notably with Reason on “Trapped In” featuring Ab-Soul, Guapdad 4000 on “Hairless Horsemen,” and Courtney Bell on “Lion’s Den.” Meanwhile, rising Houston rapper OMB Bloodbath signed with LVRN, released a few singles including “Bolt” and “Dropout” with Maxo Kream, and did her best to avoid gang charges after being arrested in February.

Dominique Xishak questions the search for love and money on latest release “Delusional”
Dominique Xishak takes a confrontational approach to modern relationship expectations with “Delusional”, a rap track that questions what some people demand from a partner and what they bring to a relationship themselves. The song focuses on the perceived gap between wanting an ideal man and being willing to offer the same level of commitment, honesty, and personal responsibility. Rather than approaching romance with a soft touch, Xishak uses a direct lyrical perspective to challenge these expectations.
The track raises questions about appearances, personal choices, and the motivations behind seeking a partner. Its subject matter includes cosmetic surgery, the pressure to meet certain physical ideals, and the possibility that financial status can become more important than genuine connection. Xishak also addresses the tension between demanding a good partner and overlooking the qualities that make a healthy relationship possible. These themes give the song a provocative edge and invite listeners to consider the standards they set for themselves and others.
“Delusional“ positions Dominique Xishak as a voice willing to tackle uncomfortable conversations about dating, attraction, and relationship priorities. The message is deliberately challenging, encouraging debate about whether people are truly searching for meaningful partnerships or pursuing an ideal shaped by appearances and money. It is a track designed to provoke reactions and get listeners talking.

Shadowspell invites listeners into a world of fear and defiance on latest release “CYANIDE”
Shadowspell’s latest hard-hitting single, “CYANIDE,” explores disturbing thoughts, fear, and the struggle with sanity, pulling listeners into a disquieting world of inner darkness. Big drums and guitars drive the song, creating a powerful atmosphere for its troubled emotional landscape. Its central thesis is chillingly provocative, darkness is no longer in the past, but has settled in.
The song’s lyrics drop the listener into a mind where scary voices are a strange kind of survival, and nowhere else seems safe. Shadowspell doesn’t push fear away; it brings it to the front and center, inviting listeners to face the unsettling thoughts and feelings at the song’s heart. The lush instrumentation gives this tension a gritty edge that suits the song’s defiant spirit.
If you enjoy exploring darker musical territories, CYANIDE delivers a heavy, intense listening experience that blends heavy drums, powerful guitars, and psychologically charged themes. Shadowspell embraces awkwardness, not smoothing it over, and makes a track that sounds raw, confrontational, and unashamedly uncomfortable. The result is a record that exposes inner turmoil and demands that the listener confront the shadows instead of simply turning away.
