I'm surrently researching Jewish rap/hip hop and one of the key artists featured in an article I recently submitted to an academic journal is 50 Sheckel . After attracting a lot of publicity the self-proclaimed 'world's most kosher MC' was set to release a debut album at some point last year. It kept being delayed and I heard some strange rumours that he'd gone crazy in some way.
Anyway, turns out he's now a Jews for Jesus. His website and work is totally re-tooled to reflect his conversion. And the funny thing is that there's a fairly seemless fit with his previous work. His endless preaching and hectoring about 'Jewish pride' in his 'former' self has been replaced by the crass proclamations of fundamentalist Xtianity.
