Ta-Shma - New Hasidic mainstream album
Ta-Shma
Come Listen (JMG)
Described as: Beats straight outta the Bass-Medrash meets lyrics from the depths of the Jewish soul.
At a glance: Matis-ya-who? There’s a new yid in town. I love the false confident glares these dudes are throwing when they must be deeply insecure about how many gimmicky Hasidic reggae singers society is willing to tolerate. I also love the name Ta-Shma. It’s got a nice unintentionally dismissive ring to it.

I have this album. It's definately worth having on your ipod! It's even at the itunes store. There myspace is www.myspace.com/HasidicHipHop. Yeah, everyone keep saying that they're hip hop, and they definately have some songs that are straight hip hop feel, but they really have a wide range of music, and a lot of guitar. Andy Statman has clarinet on two songs, and the song "Speak Out" (you gotta hear those lyrics!) has a viola!

i just got this off iTunes. it's a good listen. I'm really into the lyrics: "i got my tanya and my gemora,
the rebbe's nigun as the ring on my motorolla." I like that.I love these guys and Matisyahu. I hope there's more of this coming out. Anybody heard anything?
