Robby the Elf bills himself as "the world's first
musician to exclusively record Christmas rap music," in a style he calls
"Christmas Crunk." What is it exactly? Well, Robby describes
Christmas Crunk as "like Eminem spent the holidays at Jazzy Jeff's. Sometimes
it's funny, sometimes it's serious, but it's always hip hop and it's always
Christmas." Originally from Upstate South Carolina, Robby the Elf has been
recording Christmas Crunk for over a decade now in an effort to spread a
positive message. “I realize that the holidays are not always happy times,” he
explains. “It brings sadness as well. I merely desire to help those less
fortunate. That's what Christ did and Saint Nicholas also. I don't expect to be
compared to those two, but I want to do my part. If I can bring a smile to a
sick child's face, or ease sorrow in someone elderly, then I consider that a
success.” Love him or hate him, Robby the Elf’s mission is also to spread
awareness about the repression of elves, showing people that elves are an important
part of maintaining a positive holiday spirit. “My goal is to have everyone to
hear my music so that someday, each Christmas Eve, every child will also leave,
a cookie for an elf.” He's certainly prolific. You can hear some of his
creations on his website, Facebook page or via CD Baby.
