14. Drop the Rake: Part 2/2 with Hasidic Rapper Nosson Zand
Oy. Yo. Shift a letter, shift the meaning. Nosson gets involved in the conversation about Jewish melody and rap, traditional and contemporary, differences and common ground.
In this episode Dovid, Adam and Hassidic rap sensation Nosson Zand discuss how successful each of these art forms are at: evoking joy, breaking limitations, melting inhibitions and building inter-human connections.
Toward the end of the episode Nosson captures his “drop the rake” moment and depicts what it felt like to collaborate with reggae superstar Matisyahu.
