ARTIST: Matisyahu TITLE: Youth LABEL: JDub/Or/Epic GENRE: Reggae BITRATE: 200kbps avg PLAYTIME: 0h 46min total RELEASE DATE: 2006-03-07 RIP DATE: 2006-03-01 Track List ---------- 01. Fire Of Heaven/Altar Of Earth 3:59 02. Youth 4:18 03. Time Of Your Song 4:27 04. Dispatch The Troops 4:05 05. Indestructible 4:09 06. What I'm Fighting For 2:11 07. Jerusalem 4:00 08. WP 3:58 09. Shalom/Saalam 1:06 10. Late Night In Zion 3:13 11. Unique Is My Dove 3:24 12. Ancient Lullaby 4:18 13. King Without A Crown 3:42 Release Notes: Matisyahu is no gimmick. Even if most of his fans are drawn as much by his faith as his music, the orthodox Jewish reggae rapper compels with an almost supernatural stage presence and rhyme style. Those who trudged through SundayÆs snowdrifts to see the bearded anomaly at Avalon were rewarded with more than just divine flows. They got the full-force reggae show including psychedelic backdrops and a chill mood to match. ItÆs unusual to see a hot independent artist tour with accordion-toting, Yiddish-speaking Canadian rappers. But Matisyahu shows are anything but traditional, including the opening act, MontrealÆs So Called. A rap crew of one, So Called came off as a bit of an amateur. But his jester style and Larry-from-the-Three Stooges haircut garnered ample laughs from the mild-mannered crowd, a diverse bunch sporting a mix of yarmulkes, BoSox hats, hoodies and dreadlocks. They didnÆt brave a blizzard out of mere curiosity. From the minute Matisyahu hit the stage in his signature black getup, heads were singing along. The cheery ææRaise Me Upö got people vibing, and the radio hit ææKing Without A Crownö triggered dance-floor hysterics. Matisyahu was aided by a sharp three-piece band that provided flaming riffs for the frontman to spit fire over. Although his ææLive at StubbÆsö album recently passed the 100,000 sales mark, Matisyahu was already prepping for next monthÆs release of his second studio album, ææYouth.ö Judging by the nonstop dancing at Avalon, his new material will be as well-received as his breakout tracks. The only disappointment was MatisyahuÆs refusal to peel off his coat and hat and stage-dive, as heÆs famously done at past shows. Though he flashed his exceptional beat-boxing skills and delivered the colorful roots ring that heÆs become renowned for, he kept his jacket on through the encore. ThereÆs no doubt that Matisyahu is one of musicÆs shooting stars. In one year heÆs graduated from opening act at small clubs to Avalon headliner. Whether people support him for his values or his vibe, one thing is certain: Matisyahu cooks up some serious reggae while making religion sound more fly than Amy Grant or D.C. Talk ever did.
