Time Out NY, February 24, 2005
"An enthralling, inspiring MC. So Called is one of the eclectic Jewish music scene's stars."

Product 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.

1 out of 5 stars Language caution for children.......2007-03-16

I was thinking about getting this for my elementary school kids to listen to. Something they would enjoy more than the usual sappy Passover music for kids. Thank goodness I listened to the clip of the final track. The song seems to be about a bad hangover after drinking too much wine (not a bad message) but I'm not about to play the "f***" word in my mini-van.
In another 6 or 8 years, however, I think they'll love it.

This item was advertised as being similar to Matisyahu. It was an embarrassment to listen to it..

5 out of 5 stars Genius.......2006-09-24

Worth every penny. So Called has talent and has great beats, and funny lyrics, and are just enjoyable to listen to, especially with the knowlegde of Judaism. I saw So Called live, and it was the funkiest, funniest, and was a ton of fun. So pass out for passover!

1 out of 5 stars Awful :(.......2006-06-13

I love Balkan Beatbox and Matisyahu.. but "so called seder" was a so called... nightmare!

I was actually appalled I had purchased it without hearing many of the songs. I know it's acceptable to say certain things in rap/hip-hop.. but when it comes to our music.. please don't even go there!!

I was hoping for something more along the lines of Balkan Beatbox or Matisyahu, but sadly suprised at the lyrics I was hearing and sent it back to J-Dub with a letter why.. *sigh*

Hey folks, this is brilliant and all, like the articles say, but what they don't mention is that it's impossible to listen to. There are no verses, choruses, or even beats to speak of. There are no songs. It's just a sound collage or something, from start to finish. The booklet prints lyrics but I couldn't find 'em. This music is too brilliant for its own good. And you can forget about using it as party or background music. JDub's other offerings are much better.
