At Best of Best Review, we’re constantly seeking creators who don’t just entertain — they innovate. For 2025, one name stood out for bringing a completely fresh sound to holiday music while blending storytelling, charisma, and cultural originality. That name is Robby The Elf, and we are proud to recognize him as the Best Holiday Hip-Hop Artist of 2025.

Robby The Elf isn’t just an artist. He’s a character, a storyteller, and the creative force behind a new musical genre known as Christmas Crunk. This isn't your typical holiday music. Christmas Crunk is what happens when the lyrical intensity of Hip-Hop meets the cheer and charm of the Christmas season. It's a sound that merges the energy of early 2000s rap with festive spirit, creating a one-of-a-kind listening experience that’s as entertaining as it is original.

Robby’s backstory adds depth to his music. Born half-elf on his mother’s side and raised in an elf colony called The North Side—located on the north side of the south side of Michigan—Robby The Elf was destined to do things differently. After saving the holidays in his origin story, he sets out into the world to spread Christmas cheer through his music. His persona is both whimsical and grounded, bridging the magical with the relatable. His music doesn’t just tell stories; it invites listeners into an entire world.

One of the most impressive aspects of Robby The Elf's success is his ability to maintain a fully themed concept across all platforms. His songs are undeniably Hip-Hop, but they stay true to their holiday roots. Some tracks are playful and filled with tongue-in-cheek humor, while others carry real emotional weight. The tone may shift, but the identity remains intact. This kind of cohesion is rare, especially for a genre many wouldn’t think to take seriously at first glance. But Robby does, and that commitment shows in the quality and consistency of his work.

With music available on every major platform and over 200,000 views on YouTube, Robby The Elf is proving that Christmas Crunk is not just a gimmick — it’s a growing movement. His YouTube channel showcases an expanding library of creative visuals, while his Spotify profile continues to draw new listeners with each release. The dedication to both sound and storytelling sets him apart in a music scene often saturated with repetition. Robby is offering something completely original, and it’s resonating.

Beyond the music, Robby The Elf has written a screenplay titled The King of Christmas Crunk.
