It was Passover this week, so a booker on Jimmy Kimmel’s show decided to celebrate by booking Matisyahu to perform last night (March 31). Naturally the singer, also known by his more mundane birth name of Matthew Paul Miller, has an album to promote, titled Light, which inexplicably hit the No. 1 slot on the U.S. reggae album chart.
“One Day” is the song from the NBA 2K10 video game that Matis, as his friends probably don’t call him, has been using to hawk copies of the record, and it’s got that wretched word “lite” carved all the way through it. If you can make it through this performance, dig out some Lee "Scratch" Perry or I-Roy albums to cleanse yourself.
Ugh. You're right: Now for some Lee Perry.
