Haaretz reports,
These days one can find hip-hop artists around the world with diverse ethnic backgrounds and family histories, but it is rare to find one who is the son of two former kibbutz members. Such is the case with Boston-based hip-hop artist Edan Portnoy. His last album, Beauty and the Beat, released earlier this year, stands out due to the original sounds he creates by infusing rock and roll and psychedelic music with hip-hop beats and sounds.While listening to his albums, it is evident that Edan has been influenced by a wide variety of music, ranging from hip-hop to rock and roll, and even Israeli music, which he says his parents played while he was growing up in Rockville, Maryland.
Meet TedEvan: The six-foot-seven freestyling Jew.
Last night, Y-Love brought the Jews to Uganada, Jerusalem’s premier record shop/café, for an amazing live set featuring performances from Corner Prophets’ finest, including Sagol 59, Rebel Sun & Shmash, with DJ Caress manning the decks. Granted, it’s not the largest venue in the city, but the place was filled twice over with a relatively diverse crowd comprised primarily of Orthodox olim who don’t usually frequent such locales. The energy was through the roof however, as the audience marvelled at the multifacted talents of Y-Love and his newfound Jerusalem compatriots. Sadly my Minidisc recorder bombed on me, and I’m still waiting on photos of the performance itself, but here are a couple buddy-buddy shots to whet your appetites.
Shmash, Rebel Sun & Sagol 59
Last week, I had the pleasure of introducing Y-Love to Shmash, the artist formerly known as Shmoopafly, thus bringing two of the most creative, multilingual, Hasidic minds in hip-hop together in collaboration. The meeting proved fruitful: The two immediately took a liking to one another, and by week’s-end, they were in the studio cranking out tracks.
Here is the result: “Hebrew Child,” from Y-Love and Shmash, with production from France’s Beatsmaker.
The next Old Jeruz Cipher will take place Thursday, March 30 @ Daila (Shlomzion HaMalka 4) at 10pm. The event will be hosted by Sagol 59 & DJ Caress.
Also, on Saturday March 25 at 10pm, Mobius will be DJing at Noc (Yaffo 31 / Feingold’s Field, next to Adom).
Here are a couple of news clips featuring this past Saturday’s Coolooloosh show at The Lab.
