American rapper of Jewish descent Michael Berrin, better known by his stage name MC Serch, has published a song in honor of Hanukkah. All it took was a dare from radio personalities Ebro Darden and Peter Rosenberg.

"I heard that they were talking about Jewish rappers and how none of them had done a Hanukkah song. When they got to my name, Ebro and Peter went in on me, because they know I am a proud Jewish kid from Far Rockaway, so I had to get to work," Berrin said.
Thus began a several-month-long journey to create Shine Bright. The Smiths' Johnny Marr, Hootie and the Blowfish lead singer Darius Rucker, Sam Harmonix, and DJ Eclipse also participated in the project.
