Uncuffed My Mixtape: This Christmas

The Uncuffed My Mixtape is a selection of our producers' favorite songs. This week, Greg Eskridge talks about his favorite holiday song, “This Christmas,” by Donny Hathaway. Plus, the rest of the Uncuffed team shares their thanks and best wishes for the New Year.

Listening to this song, even though it's an extremely beautiful song, it reminds me of those early years or the beautiful early years of my life. There's still some sadness because I've been removed from those beautiful moments for so long. But I still try to maintain that level of joy in my heart.
Greg Eskridge

Uncuffed will be back with new episodes in January 2024. Thank you so much for listening!
