Reggae singer and rapper Matisyahu discussed in life and career in a new VladTV exclusive. The music artist described his upbringing and his rebellious side, which resulted in him attending a treatment program during his teen years. However, Matisyahu embarked on a journey to self-discovery and embraced Hasidic Judaism. Matisyahu described the lifestyle, as well as his introduction to reggae and Hip-Hop. He explained how he blended the two genres, which made him a unique artist -- so much so, that he was considered one of the top reggae artists. Despite his success, Matisyahu addressed the criticism he received as a result. He also talked about the mixed reactions he received when he decided to shed his Hasidic image. Throughout the rest of the interview Matisyahu touched on his experiences with Shyne and NBA Youngboy, and his thoughts on the conflict between Israel and Palestine.
