Vancouver’s most prolific hip-hop icon, Moka Only, is back to soundtrack the winter season with Martian XMAS 2025, marking the 21st year of his beloved holiday album series. A staple of the underground hip-hop calendar, this annual tradition sees the rapper-producer donning his "Martian" persona to deliver a distinct blend of dusty jazz loops, boom-bap drums, and off-kilter winter rhymes. Far from your standard carols, Moka’s holiday output captures the atmospheric chill of December while offering the sonic warmth of a crackling fire, cementing his reputation for consistency and creativity that has spanned over two decades.

 

Arriving on December 12, 2025, via URBNET, the new 17-track collection continues the legacy of providing the perfect instrumental and lyrical backdrop for the holidays. Fans can expect the signature laid-back flows and obscure samples that have defined the series since its inception. Martian XMAS 2025 will be available on all major streaming platforms, with physical collectors treated to a limited run on both CD and cassette tape. Whether you are a long-time listener or a new arrival to the planet, Moka Only invites you to tune in and stay warm this holiday season.
