While I'm sure many people speculated that a Hasidic Jew laying down rhymes over reggae beats was a marketing gimmick that would soon go the same path as five member boy bands, Matisyahu has proven he's more than a passing fad. He's back and preparing to release his fourth full length album, which will will be coming out early next year. In preparation for its release, as a teaser he's letting out a four track preview titled the Shattered EP ., the first track of which can be heard below. In addition to the [...]
G-d's favorite, Grammy-nominated reggae star, Matisyahu [ Official Site , MySpace ] dropped his new, fresh album, Shattered , today on Epic. That's a great thing if you, like me, never got over this dude's vibe, who is completely rad an all about peace. In fact, I think Matisyahu and Ultragrrrl can be blamed for me falling in love with the idea of marrying a Jewish woman; maybe it was Kissing Sarah Marshall or RENT. Forget it, I think I am just on a rant again. Any way you [...]
