Listen now
Description
Nissim Black doesn't just ignore the haters, he studies them. The legendary musician knows there are people who see him as just another fad, an Orthodox Jewish rapper, a token intersection — but he's in it for the duration, batteries charged. Keep your New Year’s resolution of entering The Zal more often and come get a taste of Nissim's music.

Find Nissim Black on Spotify and YouTube — and as he mentioned, The Jubalaires "Noah" from 1946.
