Matisyahu


King Without a Crown
Matisyahu has such a wonderfully odd mix of sound.  It is traditional Jewish themes with reggae, rock, hip hop and beat-boxing sounds all meshed together and it works!  Trust me.

Ryan Levine...AKA Low Shoulder





Through the Trees
Ryan Levine
Okay, so I heard this song while watching the movie Jennifer's Body. In the movie Adam Brody sings/lipsings (?) the song, but it is really done by Ryan Levine. The movie was okay, but I really like the song the most about the movie. Hubby likes Megan Fox...but who can blame him. She is hot.
