Somewhat Kosher 'hip-hop'
« on: October 20, 2011, 08:47:37 PM »
I know that many JTFers have no interest in so-called hip-hop music. While I am an avid hater of 'gangsta rap' I have developed a little taste for some 'Jewish Hiphop' which is hip-hop with a positive Jewish message. One such artist I learned about from Ben Bretsky who has a show on Israel National News is named 'Prodezra Beats'. I learned about him last year and have listened to a couple of his songs which I burned on a CD and listen to on the drive in to work...

Prodezra beats has a new CD out which has some very nice songs which all have a positive Jewish message, pro-Israel and spiritually motivating...

Here are some tracks which I like:















Prodezra Beats attended the Mayanot Yeshiva in Jerusalem and that song M.A.Y.A.N.O.T is a play on the name {which means wellspring}...

And I turned to see wisdom and madness and folly, for what is the man who will come after the king, concerning that which they have already done?And I saw that wisdom has an advantage over folly, as the advantage of light over darkness.The wise man has eyes in its beginning, but the fool goes in the darkness, and I too know that one event happens to them all. (Kohelet 2:12-14)

I hope I am not the only one who is enjoying these videos... I do think Prodezra Beats is very talented and I enjoy his lyrics and his message.

This song is about the story of Chanukah when the Greeks oppressed the Jews in Eretz Yisroel...
