House Music has been trending and on the rise for the last couple of years. But I see subgenres like Amapiano taking over in 2024.

Merry Christmas you filthy animals. This episode of Rhythm & Rhymes was filmed on the least festive Christmas in history. No Merry Sprit. But look on the bright side. That new Wizkid dropped. Along with some other artists both co-hosts AJ & Antonio enjoy like Central Cee, AJ Tracey & others.

We hope you're enjoying your holidays and catching some vibes. Stay Merry Brotha

Who were your favorite producers this year?

Hosts AJ Hughes & Antonio Hughes try to answer this question after briefly touching on some new music that dropped this weekend.

Every year-end wrap-up includes their favorite albums by artists, but who is making the music for these projects. These are the people we decided to shine a light on in this episode of Rhythm & Rhymes. 

We also briefly discuss the latest album rollout from Kanye West and if there's anything he can do to make us stop listening.
