Check it out, Charm City’s favorite African-American/Chasidic hip-hop phenomenon is now coming to prime-time TV.
Y-Love, the moniker for East B-more native (and current Brooklyn, N.Y., denizen) Yitzchak Moshe Jordan, will be featured in a CBS documentary titled “Faith, Music and Culture” to air this Sunday night, June 7.
“Music is often a vehicle for expressing religious faith and belief,” the network stated in a news release. “This broadcast looks at some modern music inspired within the varied cultures of four religions.”
Y-Love—who as you’ll undoubtedly remember was the subject of a May 2006 BALTIMORE JEWISH TIMES cover story—will be featured with fellow Chasidic hip-hop wonders DeScribe (Schneur Hasofer) and Diwon (Erez Safar).
According to the folks at CBS, the doc will also profile the Brooklyn Qawwali Party, an eclectic, 11-piece Sufi orchestra, and the all-male and Christian a cappella group Anointed Voices. The program also spotlights Kirtan, the ancient Hindu practice of call-and-response chanting of Sanskrit mantras.
Y-Love recently embarked on a world tour to support his new EP titled “Change.”
