Microsoft’s Xbox Live "Artist of the Month" program is getting back into gear this June with the aid of reggae artist Matisyahu, who has been making his name as of late as being the first Hasidic Jewish Reggae artist. Matisyahu’s second studio album, "Youth," was released in March, debuting at number one on Billboard’s Top Internet Albums Chart, Digital Albums Chart, and Reggae Chart.
With Xbox Live’s "Artist of the Month" promotion, gamers get the oppertunity to play with some of today’s most popular artists. As part of the promotion, the music video to Matisyahu’s single that shares the name of the album, "Youth" will be available for free on Xbox Live in HD.
Gamers will also be able to win a "Game with Fame" session with Matisyahu to play NHL 2K6 as well as a chance to win an Xbox 360 and a copy of Matisyahu’s latest CD.
"Gaming is a great way to connect with people and Xbox Live gives me the ability to reach out and connect with fans from all over the world,” said Matisyahu. “Being the Xbox Live Artist of the Month is a huge accomplishment and I,m looking forward to getting online and playing some NHL 2K6 during the Game with Fame.”
