Matisyahu November 14, 2012

In the crowded New York reggae scene, Hasidic reggae musician Matisyahu literally stands out like no other. With his long beard and black hat, this young lyricist, MC and beatboxer became a singular performer whose power, poetry and skills combined the sounds of Bob Marley and Shlomo Carlebach while remaining wholly original. Despite recently shaving his long beard to the chagrin of some fans/followers, Matisyahu continues to explore traditional Jewish themes and spirituality by mixing in ever-more exploratory journeys into reggae, rock and hip-hop beatboxing sounds. His latest work is the album, 'Spark Seeker.'
