Rebel Music/Geffen Records artist Kidd G is giving fans a special Christmas present this year as he drops an expanded version of his debut album, Down Home Boy: Gone Since Last October (Deluxe) on Dec. 24.

He re-energizes the original with four new tracks just in time for the holidays, including the forthcoming “I Don’t Wanna,” which highlights his knack for blending and blurring genres. He co-wrote each song on the now 18-track collection, collaborating with writers Rhett Akins, Chris DeStefano, Jesse Frasure, and more.

In addition to his debut single, “Summer In A Small Town,” and the recently-released “Paper Hearts (F-150),” and “Whiskey & Wine,” the album also features “If Heaven Had A Phone,” which became a fan favorite on his first headlining first tour which wrapped this fall.

Named one of the Best Albums of 2021 by the New York Times, Down Home Boy generated over 15 million streams on Spotify. Kidd G recently surpassed 1.5 million monthly Spotify listeners.
