You are very talented– it’s difficult to understand reggae lyrics– There R many jewish rappers now; kosha dillz is good but sounds like most– then there’s Greenie — produced by Krs-One [now THAT's ironic!]– Greenie has songs like “My Son, The Schvartze” [is it Sh'Vatze ?] that are VERY witty, clever–and probably universally meaningful– Maybe we can start a Jewish rappers hall of fame = D?

My title is not very accurate, most likely because I was dazed and confused at the time I posted it after watching Matis do his thing. :-) I checked out your music as well, and it sounds great. You are very talented, and I love the fact that you guys are all tearing down barriers and demonstrating that you can't simply judge a person by their appearance. Take care, John Y-Love – You are absolutely correct. My title is not very accurate, most likely because I was dazed and confused at the time I posted it after watching Matis do his thing. :-)

I wouldn't say Matis is a rapper (in the hip-hop sense of the world), but rather a reggae artist ("best reggae artist" in the eyes of some Grammy judges) who uses rap to spice up his reggae flows intermittently. I have been doing Hasidic underground hiphop for years -- and believe me, none of the "hip-hop ciphers" sound like "King Without A Crown". (And -- shameless plug -- feel free to write up my music if you are into hasidic rappers :D) Giving nothing but love to Matis (who I’ve had the privilege of performing with and knowing for years), the title is a bit of a misnomer.
