He's taken us to the movies, a lot of us have met him on Facebook, and now the rapper who is just-so-bad-he's-good has released arguably the fuzziest and best novelty Christmas hit of the year.

19-year-old Sudanese-born rapper Bangs - aka Ajak Chol - has just dropped his new single Christmas Story - complete with a video which sees him dressed up as Santa for the duration of the clip.  The rapper - who is now based in Melbourne's western suburbs - also takes in all the prominent features of the city by shooting scenes with randoms at Federation Square, Crown, Docklands and Flinders St Station.  There's also a very heartwarming scene at the start where Bangs tells a Christmas story about chocolate to three young kids.

Incase you've missed what all the fuss is about with Bangs - he performed at Lilyworld for the Big Day Out earlier this year, and became a YouTube sensation when he released his first hit Take U To The Movies - which has clocked up over 4 million views.  Since then, he's performed with Phrase and also starred in a Honda Jazz ad.  His second smash hit - Meet U On Facebook - became a massive online event, with one fan commenting "I've sacrificed my sister for this single!" on a Facebook event to promote the song's release.

As I said before, he's not up there with Jay-Z and Kanye yet - nor will he ever will be.  But take one look at his new clip - and I guarentee you won't be able to get the chorus out of your head anytime soon.

"Christmas is coming real soon, then we gonna have good afternoon.
Say a Merry Christmas to your friend, let's play together holding hands."

Now if that aint catchy and filled with harmless Christmas cheer, I don't know what is.  And the good folks at the Herald Sun obviously like it - with Bangs featuring in the "What's Hot" section of today's Hit Magazine.
