From the Artist

Beats straight outta the Bass-Medrash, meets lyrics from the depths of the Jewish soul. Ta-Shma drops the spiritual science making your head spin and your soul dance. Lyrically breaking it down like the middle matzah, beats on fire like a candle for Havdallah. Piercing Jewish souls like a maimar chassidus, opening Jewish hearts like a Rebbe yechidus. Ta-Shma brings the water, 12 Tribe Sound the fire, together Come Listen takes you higher.

Product Description

Produced by Alon Cohen for 12 Tribe Sound (Matisyahu, Y-Love, Forgiveness).

Come Listen features an exceptional array of guest performances, including Hasidic reggae superstar Matisyahu, clarinet virtuoso Andy Statman, up-and-coming hip-hop star Y-Love, and underground rap sensation E-Shy.

Ta-Shma, Chunah Silverman and Menachem Shapiro, is a Brooklyn based Hasidic rap duo. Ta-Shma's debut album, Come Listen, demonstrates the group's skillful wordplay and tight flow over an infusion of innovative hip-hop beats and traditional Jewish melodies.

Come Listen pulses with inspired riffs from the mystical treasure chest of Hasidic thought. The tracks range from head-nodding anthems to soulful jams, and incorporate live instruments including clarinet, viola and trumpet.

Chunah and Menachem employ an ever-popular yet ancient method of dialogue to deliver an eternal message of faith and yearning. We invite you to Come Listen.

5.0 out of 5 stars ta shma review, November 12, 2006

By	LOL (New York) - See all my reviews

i'm not really a hip hop fan per say (i'm not even sure if i would classify this album as hip hop or soul)...i like matisyahou though, so this group caught my eye and i bought the CD. The songs are spiritual and they have really deep lyrics especially #10 (speak out). now i listen to this album over and over!

5.0 out of 5 stars Matis X2 = Ta Shma, September 25, 2006

By	Bella Miriam "musicmaven" (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews

Matisyahu is featured on a track on this album. He is wonderful... and his fans will enjoy that track, as well as the rest of this album.
I think there can't be too many talented Hasidic Hip Hop performers. If you want inspiration...find it here.
