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. Plus: excerpts of other contemporary rappers from religious circles and, purportedly, the first rap track ever recorded. Nissim shares joy and loss and connections between his life, his art, and his community with big hats. Music from Matisyahu, Shyne, Lecrae. Find Nissim Black on Spotify and YouTube — and as he mentioned, The Jubalaires "Noah" from 1946.
