Beloved reindeer Rudolph is dipping his hooves into a new music genre, putting a different spin on a Christmas classic.
American rapper DMX has released an official version of “Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer,” taking the Yuletide favorite into the world of rap. The song, released as part of Spotify’s Singles Holiday playlist, delivers a much rougher take on the original than what people are used to, but that hasn’t stopped social media from instantly feeling the Christmas magic.

DMX’s remix first became a thing back in 2012 when he appeared on radio station Power 105.1 and was asked to cover the Yuletide tune.
