Y-love (Yitz Jordan) is an MC unlike any other. He is a black convert into the Bostener sect of chassidus (the mystical branch of Orthodox Judaism). He is among the most innovative freestylers on the scene, weaving seamless polyglot rhymes in English, Arabic, Yiddish, and Hebrew. Most unique is Y-love's revival of Aramaic, the language used to discuss Jewish law and Kabalah. With each word he spits in the tongue of ancient Babylon, Y-love breaths new life into hip-hop, one beat at a time.

this guy's really funky, but the beat is a little harder to get into, and the lyrics, well... i hope you really learned well in yeshiva, if you want to get his aramaic.
