Matisyahu keeps the faith while rapping
Matisyahu, the devout Jewish rapper, is making the kind of journey he makes all the time between his music and his religion. On this recent Friday afternoon, that consists of walking through Manhattan from a voice lesson to prepare for Shabbat, the Jewish holy day of rest. For Matisyahu, this particular passage is simply another step in his dual spiritual and musical odyssey.
”It’s one thing for me,” he says. “The music is not separate from the spirituality. The music is what provides the space to get [to the spirituality].”
