The Shofar's Call Radio Show #6

50 Shekel (his real name: Aviad Cohen) was once described as 50 Cent minus the foul language. He became recognized for his Jewish parody rap song In Da Shul(a take on 50 Cents In Da Club), Cohen has also been written up in the New York Magazine, New York Post, Blender, Esquire and the Forward. Cohen however, has recently announced that he became a follower of Yeshua (Jesus) and as you can imagine the response from the Orthodox Jewish community has been very negative. Many of the same media outlets that once praised his Jewish rap parodies are now quick to attack and slander Cohen for his acceptance of Yeshua. Cohen who once was referred to as the worlds most Kosher MC, now describes himself as a completed Jew. Within the last few weeks Cohen has dropped the title 50 Shekel and is now going solely by his G-d given name Aviad Cohen. Just because Cohen has come to the Messiah does not mean that his passion for music has dwindled, Cohen is currently working on a CD titled For His Glory, which is less hip hop parody and more electronic praise pop. Many of the songs featured on the soon to be released CD can be heard at www.50shekel.com.
