Compilația a fost lansată în data de 5 decembrie 1996, prin Death Row.
1996 was the year of doom for Death Row Records. The label's flagship artist Tupac Shakur was killed that year. Gangsta rap came under intense scrutiny. In order to prove that Death Row was not exclusively synonymous with tragic events, Suge unveiled this Christmas compilation. It featured the likes of Tha Dogg Pound, Danny Boy, Nate Dogg, and others. Contrary to what you might expect from an album titled Christmas on Death Row, this is far from a gangsta rap take on holiday music. So, nope, Santa doesn't get jacked for his gold chain.
