Solomon & Socalled

Merging jazz-tinged rap with klezmer music, it had to be thought of... That's what Canadian Josh Dolgin aka SoCalled did when he discovered old traditional Yiddish tunes. The result is particularly addictive on A Hip-Hop Haggadah (2005), where the rapper and producer brings together two worlds, that of Matisyahu and that of Killah Priest from the Wu-Tang Clan. Between collaborations with David Krakauer and Abraham Inc, Arat Kilo and Enrico Macias, SoCalled continues his eclectic approach on Ghettoblaster in 2007 and SleepOver in 2011.
