KOSHA DILLZ

Our favorite Jewish rapper Kosha Dillz recently joined Matisyahu for his Festival of Lights show in New Brunswick. We just saw Matisyahu at the Pantages Theatre and I noted that it was the best sounding show I've seen from him!
If you live in the NJ/NY area, please consider bringing and donating your hoodies for Kosha Dillz' "Hoodies For Hannukah" shows (see show listing below).
ALSO, check out the 8 Minute Mixtape by Dillz and Diwon on soundcloud.com. According to Kosha Dillz, "It is the World's Shortest Mixtape to date (about Hannukah)."

Harkening back to a time before the Internet when people regularly got together on the weekends to discuss “old movie scenes and our wildest dreams,†the Us Commoners holiday track promotes a message of harmony and togetherness with loved ones. Nuessle began the project in Woodstock, NY in 2013 when he met Bernadette Marnell-Palumbo, a lifetime church performer and backing vocalist on many Woodstock area-based projects. Nuessle recruited a number of veteran musicians for the project, including Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, John Sebastian, who was best known as founder of popular 1960s rock band, The Lovin' Spoonful, and for his 1976 hit song, “Welcome Back.†Sebastian plays the harmonica and the guitar on “Christmas and Hannukah.â€
No matter if you are Jewish or Christian, get into the holiday spirit with “Christmas and Hanukkah,†the new song by Us Commoners, set to release in early December 2015 on iTunes and Spotify.
