Matisyahu's million-plus Twitter followers were in for quite a surprise this morning (Dec. 13), as the Hasidic rapper posted a cryptic message and links to photos of himself without his trademark -- and religiously significant -- beard.

"At the break of day I look for you at sunrise When the tide comes in I lose my disguise," he tweeted. Following those words were links to the below pictures of the 'King Without a Crown' singer sporting a freshly shaved face and head (click the photos to see the full-size image).
