| In the crowded reggae scene, Matisyahu literally stands out like no other. Beyond his versatile voice, which ranges from sweet and fluid to rough and rugged, he's a very unexpected face: standing over six feet tall, wearing the traditional garb of a Hasidic Jew. With his long beard and black hat, this 26- year-old lyricist, MC, and beatboxer is a singular performer whose distinctive power, poetry, and skills unify the inspirations he found in Bob Marley, hiphop, and his own cultural influences. |
