Reggae / Hip-Hop ???

[Afrokid]

I like Matisyahu but i find his religious and sometimes abstract messages keeping me away from really feeling his music. Can anyone recommend me a band that incorporates hip hop / rap along with Reggae?

I would recommend "Spearhead" but I have to warn you that Michael Franti is not one of the best singers in the world but his music is great and the band sounds terrific. Carl Young is a hell of a bassist, one of those guys who can fill huge gaps with simple but effective bass lines.

His music maybe is a bit political but hey we are musicians and we are entitled to our opinions and if we can influence people in order to make this world a better place so be it!

You can check www.thefabchannel.com there are 3 concerts over there.

Hope you like them, I simply love his music.
