Editorial Review: Album Description: Welcome to the eclectic world of master mixer, cratedigger, musical continent-spanner So Called AKA Josh Dolgin. Looking beyond the usual pantheon of samples for hip hop artists, So Called explores the shtetls of Eastern Europe and the Yiddish vaudeville stages of 2nd Avenue for inspiration. Armed with his Akai MPC, heritage and love for genre-bending music, So Called is a Yiddish rapping, accordion weilding, Klezmer-hip hop maestro. Heralded by Jewish, Klezmer, and hip hop musicians alike, including Killah Priest, Theodore Bikel, and David Krakauer, he builds Jewish music from the bottom up. Customer Reviews

Rating:  - Not worth it!I got this CD when I was the Youth Director at a JCC. I thought it would be perfect for the teens to get into Passover. Boy was I wrong. In the very first song, the N-word is dropped. As a Black Jewish woman I was so offended. I quickly threw the CD out. I expected so much more. Rating:  - AWESOME!!!GREAT CD!!!!
