Matisyahu and Kosha Dillz are no strangers to the road life. Having both toured all over the world, they share a few things in common that have really helped bond them together. Lots of people like their freestyles. Lots of people love them for rapping about spirituality, and representing who they are in heritage.
But, also, lots of people also take shots at them because of their heritage, including the Spanish Festival, which made Matisyahu trend 3 times on social media after un-inviting him to a festival based on his views of Israel. His performance eventually went on, but he was attacked with signs of Naziyahu, and was pelted with shoes during his performance. The anti-semitism was so strong, security was needed to make sure no literal shots were taken.
In a year of tragedies like Paris, Brussels, Orlando, and most recently Istanbul, a song like “Dodging Bullets” couldn’t have come at a more appropriate time. The track poises to be the stand up answer to all the hatred, that came out of moments like last summer when Matisyahu was attacked in Spain. It grasps on to the reality that can occur in any moment in the world, from the lack of gun control and consistent barrage of hate via social media bullets.
