"Christmas Before Christmas" (Mixtape)

"Christmas before Christmas" is a free mixtape by Atari Monroe released August of 2011. The mixtape is the second mixtape in the "Christmas Triology".

Like the first tape in the christmas series, It shows a less intellectual side of Monroe. Tracks like "Pink Lemonade", "Roll the Windows Up" & "Arcade Fly" were well recieved, and "Arcade Fly" was Monroe's first song to ever surpass 1,000 downloads. It also featured playful/fun tracks like "marijuana to blow" & "Slizzered". Unlike the first tape of the series though, there is literally no presence of Christmas references or sounds, a factor that caused some confusion as to why they all contain "Christmas" in their titles when they seemingly have no relation to the holiday itself.
