Hot & Sassy

Hot & Sassy's Christmas Strutt, originally released in 1980 and now reissued on 7", brings a festive funk groove perfect for the holiday season. On Side-1, 'Christmas Strutt', delivers infectious funk with a George Clinton/Parliament-Funkadelic vibe, blending classic funk rhythms with an early hip-hop flair. Many assume Run DMC pioneered the Christmas hip-hop track, but this jam predates them, offering an addictive, funky holiday groove that's hard to resist. Originals are rare, making this reissue a treasure for collectors and funk enthusiasts alike. On the flip side, 'Let's Funk It Up' serves as an instrumental version of Side-1, keeping the tight funk energy alive without vocals. This track lets the groove shine even more, making it a perfect DJ tool or a smooth, danceable tune for holiday gatherings.
