"Youth" shares its name with Matisyahu's 2006 album, and it first came out on March 7 of that year. The credits read like a tight working crew rather than a hired army: Bill Laswell produced, Robert Musso handled the recording, and Matisyahu wrote it with Josh Werner, who pulls double duty on bass and keyboards. Aaron Dugan's guitar and Jonah David's drums fill out the room.
The low end does the heavy lifting here. Werner's bass rolls deep and patient, the drums leave it plenty of room, and Matisyahu rides on top, urgent and rhythmic, half-singing and half-chanting at whoever will listen.
