Live at Hangout: An Interview with Matisyahu

Matthew Paul Miller, an American Hasidic Jew musician better known as reggae-rap artist Matisyahu, was kind enough to sit (or lie) down for an interview with Paste Publisher Nick Purdy after his performance at the Hangout Festival.  read more

Matisyahu's Hanukkah-Song Video "Miracle"

It’s no secret that there’s not a lot of great contemporary Hanukkah music out there. Once you get past Adam Sandler, the pickings are slim. But Matisyahu is coming to the rescue—literally in this new video for his Hanukkah song “Miracle.” After he takes a knock on the ice-rink, he dreams of oppressive Romans who employ a giant nutcracker and a hockey team to try to keep him down....  read more

Matisyahu Embarks on Interactive Road Trip

The recent premiere of NBC's new drama Kings (Sundays, 8 p.m. Eastern) has quite a few staffers hot for high drama. Following up on Paste managing editor Nick Marino's latest list, Seven Reasons to Start Watching Kings Immediately, we're providing a royal playlist to complement the modern-day monarchy that we'll undoubtedly grow to love, hate, envy, cheer and most likely, gamble on. Set in a city not unlike the Big Apple, there are enough Pasteful placements of magical realism, blood-kin betrayals and star-crossed romances to make for a very interesting season. If we ruled the world, these are the songs...  read more

Musicians have a long, storied history of lending their talents to worthy causes. But I don't remember ever coming across a trio of benefit records hitting around the same time that are this cool. I would have recommended the following albums if the proceeds went to pay for Donald Trumps hair implants, but they actually go to to organizations that fight human trafficking and AIDS and provide aid to children affected by war. So go buy them. Now....  read more

It's been a long three years with the absence of enigmatic and genre bending Matisyahu. Since his 2006 Grammy-nominated Youth dropped, the Hasidic-Jew-turned-reggae-star has taken his time crafting Light, his newest album set to be released by Epic on April 21....  read more
