Christmas last year was especially memorable, thanks in part to Chance the Rapper and Jeremih surprising fans with their joint holiday-themed project days before the annual celebration.
With the 2016 nine-track collection Merry Christmas Lil’ Mama being so appreciated by their respective fans, the pair has reportedly decided to re-record the songs, as well as mix in new material, to officially release the project as a full album.

“It’s gonna be a little bit of both, but pretty much, it’s gonna be a completion of that project,” producer Bongo ByTheWay revealed during a conversation with Rap-Up.

“We just put it out for the culture, for the fans and stuff,” Bongo ByTheWay explained. “Now, we’re really finishing it up and we’re gonna put it out right. It’s gonna have new music. It’s gonna be mixed and mastered and everything.”
