Title: Hacidic Reggae? Who woulda thunk it? Post by: UD_Delt on November 10, 2005, 10:38:57 AM I first heard the song on Sirius and the more I heard it the more it grew on me. So I looked up the artist, Matisyahu, and was a bit surprised...
Here's the song (from his label's website so it's legit) http://ormusic.com/King%20Without%20a%20Crown.mp3 You can search on www.allmusic.com for Matisyahu to get his background and a few other samples.

Nope more like welcome to being a 95% owned clear channel market and finally getting to hear the other 99% of music on satellite radio. Title: Re: Hacidic Reggae? Who woulda thunk it?

I don't think he's full-on hasidic, though. I really dig Agent Jay on Precipice off Reason (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:wlf3zfh2eh3k). Great song, simple yet powerful.

Him, and others like him have been around for awhile. Besides, Rastas already lean on the Mosaic and Ethiopian/Jewish brotherhood side of things anyways (No, I'm not saying they're Hasidic...But they are and have been a lot more compatible with it than not). I'd giggle if it there was something like Norse Dub though. Title: Re: Hacidic Reggae? Who woulda thunk it?
