Hasidic Reggae...

Listen to this. Matisyahu mixes reggae vocals, rap, and rock style guitar solos, resulting in a unique sound that is creating a buzz in the music world. His latest cd, Youth (listen or see video), was released in March of this year. Matisyahu's work is produced by JDub Records, a "a non-profit record and event production company striving to build community through new and innovative Jewish music and cross cultural musical dialogue." You can read a brief bio, and find links to articles too. And yep, the liner notes contain the lyrics.

Wait, I'm the one about whom people say "He's Jewish in every way but the most important." Now you've gone Hassidic Zionist?? I feel upstaged.
