King Without A Crown ~ Matisyahu

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What's this feeling?
My love will rip a hole through the ceiling
I give myself to you from the essence of my being

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Experiencing the genius that is Matisyahu, Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic Jew cum reggae/dub revivalist, it is tempting to shout out MatisYAHOO but if you've listened at all to the man himself speaketh his name you would know that it's pronounced more like MatisYOW rhymes with wow. Mr. Wow's latest album Light is scheduled for release this summer and includes the single One Day, click for a listen. He's full of the God spirit and rocks it with a tight rhythm section and a killer guitarist (yeah, he's the one often masquerading as the geeky teenage shop student ).

Check it out and put 'em up!

this new look for matisyahu really confuses me. any idea why he doesnt dress nearly as hasidic-ally as he used to? its very brooklyn but jewish? not so much. its cool though.
