Billboard Magazine may have chosen Matisyahu as Top Reggae Artist of 2006, but his music — like the artist — is anything but simple to categorize.

Perhaps that explains why after becoming something of the toast of the U.S. music scene in 2006 when his album Grammy-nominated album “Youth” was released, the man seemed to fade away. Of course he took with him his truly one-of-a-kind Jewish themed music that is mixed with reggae, rock and hip-hop sounds.
