Afroman must have put a special snack in with his Xmas wish list because Santa loaded up his sleigh and brought the Hungry Hustler's presents early this year.

First up, Entertainment Weekly's annual holiday issue (circ. 2 million!) will feature Afroman adding his own two cents about a variety of classic holiday songs. Other participants include Jon Oliva from Trans-Siberian Orchestra and Clay Aiken. The issue will also feature a review of "Jobe Bells," Afroman's 2004 collection of original and traditional Yuletide caroling. Can a Clay Aiken duet on "Deck My Balls" be far away?

In addition, Afroman will participate in the 2004 Billboard Music Awards Radio Tour. He and other artists will broadcast live in 21 major market pop stations on Dec 7 from 12:00-4:00 PM from MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Previous years have included some of the hottest artists on tour including Sting, Destiny's Child, P Diddy, LL Cool J, and N*Sync. Can a Sting/Afroman reworking of "Fields of Gold" be far away?

Fro, fro, fro!
