For anyone who is a fan of Reggae, definitely check out Matisyahu. I've been listening to his first CD "Shake Off the Dust...Arise" incessantly, and I can't recommend it highly enough. His new CD "Youth" was also just released.

You can hear samples and get more info at his site:

He's been getting a lot of notice in the music press and is currently touring, so if you're a Reggae fan, check him out!

I'm having a hard time getting into the new one. Live At Stubb's is a tough act to follow.

He's definitely spread like wildfire among my friends. I really like Youth. Definitely want to check out Live at Stubbs too.

My personal favorite is Dispatch the Troops.

I had read about him alot but finaly saw an interview with him on PBS last Wednesday. It was a pretty long segment on the 8 hour documentary "Jewish Americans".
During the interview he didn't seem to be typical of a Hassid, a Reggae star, a rapper, or anything other than a typical young Jewish kid.
Has he been up to anything new? I realize this thread is two years old!
