Xmas Maximus 2020
Well, this has been a year hasn’t it? I started calling this mix “Dystopia Falls” - seems like the right name for a 2020 mix.
There are a few threads here - the primary one being related to Black Lives Matter, also being stuck at home and afraid, as well as being a backup singer.
Fair Warning there are several explicit tracks here.
LINER NOTES - You need to open in a new tab to listen to the mix while reading the notes.
