Chutzpah (group)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chutzpah is a Los Angeles-based Jewish Rap group who call themselves the 'First Ever Jewish Hip Hop Supergroup'. They are signed to Jewish Music Group and have a CD "eponymous" and a DVD "Chutzpah, This Is?" which has its world premiere at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, Colorado. The group consists of Master Tav - the ex-cantorial student turned rapper, MC Meshugenah - the slightly unhinged one, Jewdah - the Jewish Rastafarian Philosopher rapper, and their fearless leader Dr. Dreck - thought by some to actually be the actor George Segal.
[edit] Film and music videos
Chutzpah's film - "Chutzpah, This Is?" - was also an Official Selection at the Newport Beach, Cedar Rapids Independent, Mt. Shasta Int'l and Washington DC Jewish Film Festivals and received an audience pick at the LA Jewish Film Festival.
The video for their single "Chanukah's Da Bomb" was aired on MTV and was screened in numerous film festivals on its own, including the Other Venice, the Toronto Jewish and the Hong Kong Jewish Film Festivals.
Gary Oldman, who made a cameo in their film has signed on to direct their next video "Red Rover", the first from their sophomore CD, "Chutzpah Is...", scheduled for release in Spring, 2007==
