Michael Christmas whets our appetite with new single ‘PUBLIX’

In Massachusetts, we don’t say “I love you.” We say “GET THE BREAD! GET THE MILK!” And now, we can add to our winter salutation: “GET THE NEW MICHAEL CHRISTMAS SONG!” The Boston rapper has released a tune called “PUBLIX,” which is currently the closest thing New England has to the U.S. supermarket chain. Christmas’ latest song arrived earlier this week (February 2), a few days after its original release date, which ironically aligns with its nonchalant ethos. “I got some shit that I’m trying to prove / They tellin’ me hurry / But I ain’t gon’ rush it,” he raps over a sauntering saxophone instrumental. Per Christmas’ social media, a project called Grimace is coming later this month — and with “PUBLIX,” consider our appetites whet. Tune in below.
