Matisyahu Shaves His Beard—Check Out the Before and After Pictures!

Reggae star breaks out the scissors big time for a brand new look

Ever wonder how Matisyahu might look like without his signature beard? Well, wonder no more.

So how's he look post-shave?

He later took to his website for further explanation.

"No more Chassidic reggae superstar. Sorry folks, all you get is me…no alias," the musician said. "At a certain point I felt the need to submit to a higher level of religiosity…to move away from my intuition and to accept an ultimate truth."

But fear not, jam fans, it's not like Samson going soft after cutting his locks.

"Get ready for an amazing year filled with music of rebirth," he said. "And for those concerned with my naked face, don't worry…you haven't seen the last of my facial hair."
