Quite Possibly one of the most unique acts in all of music released a new Album this week, Matisyahu. For those of you who have not heard of him, he is an artist that infuses his Jewish beliefs, Reggae, Hip Hop, and Beat Boxing to create a truly unique sound. I am well aware that this sounds like a skit on SNL or something, but this guy is the real deal. He's got a nice Jam band backing him too. I have listened to him for a couple years now, and decided to give his new album a shot. I love it! I am a reggae fan, I got a playlist of about 1000 songs on Itunes devoted to it, and this album, while it may not be traditional, does not disappoint me at all. You do not have to be religious to appreciate his message of love and unity that appear in all of his songs (I mean how many traditional reggae fans are actually rasta to begin with). The lead single "One Day" is a great track, and the rest of the album never disappoints. Anyone else getting this or heard it already?
