Jun Seba, aka Nujabes. Hip hop extraordinaire.
^with Shing02. I love this one!
sampled the jazz classic "Affirmation" for this track
What can I say? His music is inspiring. Eye opening. Ear opening?
I first heard his music in middle school. Nujabes wrote much of the music for a great anime series called Samurai Champloo. At the time, I just thought that it was really cool music that meshed well with the show's blend of Edo Japan and elements of modernity.
My friend Sinjihn (www.youtube.com/kirbykidsmith) re-introduced me to Nujabes' music earlier this year, and I've been hooked. It's had such a deep influence on me. I don't know how else to put it. Go listen to his music, especially the Luv(sic) series with Shing02. Inspiring and meaningful. It's what hip-hop should be.
Nujabes passed away Feb 26, 2010 in a car accident.
RIP Jun Seba
