The article I read was about Matisiyahu's upbringing, and his religious journey and substance abuse problems. I thought that this article was so interesting. We all know who Matisiyahu is, we've all sung and danced to his songs. This article was so intriguing to me, because I've always seen him as such a real and optimistic guy. This article is proof that we don't know nearly as much about people as we think we do.
Matisiyahu got into drugs and alcohol at a very young age, letting these substances control him for most of his life. While he was going through the toughest of times, he turned to music, Judaism, and the land of Israel. Israel, along with music, were things that helped him find the right path in life. He used his belief God, and ancient traditions to cleanse himself of all of the toxic things in his past. He then used these things as a way to better his future, which I truly admire.
