Matisyahu is a member of the Lubavitch hasidic Jewish sect in Brooklyn, New York. This is the group that, several years ago, proclaimed that their leading rabbi, Manachem Mendel Schneerson, could be the Messiah. He's dead now.
This young man is now making it big in the top 40 music scene with his unique blend of reggae/rap music and yiddish. His musical influences include Bob Marley, Phish, and Rabbi Schlomo Carlebach.
He sings about G_d and the messiah, as he understands them. Very interesting. Nice beat too.
