text: any one ever heard of matisyahu? he is a hasidic jewish reggea and rap artist. i think he and his band are really talented. what do you guys think? yes i have heard of him. he is jewish..in case we could not tell. :) at first i thought he was amish lol. he is definitly very original. he stands out for sure. you know he did a song with pod on their new album. he is talented. but it takes a true individual to admire his very original style. hats off to you and matisyahu.
