You might be wondering what kind of a name Matisyahu is, and the answer is that it’s Hebrew for “Matthew,” the given name of Matthew Miller.  Miller changed his name to the Hebrew equivalent after undergoing a spiritual transformation as a result of his travels in Colorado, Israel, and New York City.  Now known as Matisyahu, he’s on a mission to express and share his spiritual discoveries through an innovative blend of reggae and hip-hop music.  The upcoming album titled Youth is produced by legendary reggae and dub producer Bill Laswell and is said to be a compelling mix of ancient and modern sounds.  Look for Youth to drop in stores on March 7th.  You can also preorder it at Amazon.com.

The Bay Area is out to prove that its Hyphy movement is going nowhere. Adding fuel to the fire is up-and-coming artist Beeda Weeda who just released his new music video for the single “Turf’s Up!” on indie label Clear Label Records. Tajai posted a MySpace bulletin to alert us all to this video, which is admittedly low-budget, but still has cameos with E-40, Lil’ John, and Keak Da Sneak.
