Matisyahu

Quick! What do you get when you combine a white dude with a crazy beard, orthodox judaism, reggae, rap, beatboxing, and guitar solos? There's probably only one answer to that and his name is Matisyahu, or Matthew Paul Miller as he was first known when he was born in West Chester, PA.

Matisyahu peforms a brand of music that's difficult to describe. To say that he combines a reggae sound with lyrics related to being a hasidic Jew is probably not enough, because sometimes his songs really rock. For me it's one song in particular called King Without A Crown. In fact, it's only a certain version of the song that I find to be fantastic. The live version. The studio version is not so good. So if you only ever hear one Matisyahu song, this would be it. In fact, check out the video too, just for the spectacle of a hasidic jew stage diving and getting really really amped up at a song about someone named "Hashem."
