"King without a Crown" is a song by Hasidic reggae singer Matisyahu. It was his first major single, except for the live version of the same song which appeared on his album Live at Stubb's. The song originally appeared on his 2004 debut album Shake off the Dust... Arise, and again on his second studio album Youth. The song hit #28 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #7 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart.
On some limited editions of Youth and on the "King Without a Crown" three-track EP, there is a bonus track of "King Without a Crown" remixed by Mike D of the Beastie Boys.
Along with the song "Youth", "King without a Crown" is different from other songs on the album Youth, in that it has a lengthy guitar solo more in the spirit of rock than of reggae.
