The fallout is still felt in this historically diverse neighborhood to this day. A vibrant and unique reggae music scene has emerged out of this tinderbox, which is a curious cultural hybrid of Rasta and Jewish influences – the most notable example being the platinum-selling Matisyahu. All of which begs the question: what gives?
