Does anyone else listen to him? I just bought his CD after listening to the two songs they play on the radio(99x). Those two songs would probably be the most "exciting" I supose you can say. Not as in the best on there, but the others are a lot more mellow. I honestly love it! He has a great sound and nothing like modern day hip-hop stuff. Bascially he runs the border line of hip-hop and alternative rock. Probably the only jewish musician that I really know about. He really brings that into his music as well and you can tell the sound is influenced by the middle-eastern area. Definatly a great CD to play when your in a calm mood, other wise I recommend cranking up some seether:rofl:
Or Paula Abdul, Bob Dylan, Lisa Loeb, Lou Reed... But yeah, I like Matisyahu. He just seems so damn happy and positive, which is nice for a change!
yeah, their songs can be funny at times. But I don't really like them to much. I have noticed that Matisyahu is one of the few that sounds nearly the same live as he does on CD.
he had a pretty fun live show at bonnaroo before he was a big name. His band is definately a talented group of reggae musicians, it's really neat to hear it mixed with his hip hop MC skills. Also, he was never preachy onstage, just had a positive message and that was refreshing.
