Sadness

There is life and then there is Death
I was shocked to learn of the death of a famous musician
His name was Nujabes (Jun Seba)

A famous Japanese producer, DJ, and artist who created wonderful Music
He is best known for working on OST for the anime Samurai Champloo
and for collaborating with many underground artists from US
like Funky DL, Substantial, Shing02, and many others

Nujabes is famous for mixing hip hop with jazz, creating various music
that calms and bring peace to the soul
I found out about Nujabes back when Myspace was the "thing"
I stumbled upon his fan's Myspace page who posted his song on his page
I listened and I loved it
While searching Nujabes on Google, I found out that he will be working on
the OST for an anime called Samurai Champloo

Of course I watched Samurai Champloo and downloaded the OST
and kept up with his album releases and ETC

His works were truly great, i would listen to it for
days without getting sick of it
and I still do

I learned of his death through Facebook which is pretty funny
cuz I learned about Nujabes through Myspace...
apparently Nujabes died in a car accident
at the end of Februrary
he had a private funeral with friends and family
and early March is when his friends, co-workers, and family revealed and
confirmed his death...
Many friends of mine, who were fans of his works expressed gratitude for
his work and such

it was truly a sad day for his fans

Nujabes was part of a group Hydeout Productions
the group plans to release an album soon containing Nujabes's work that was
never released
Me and many of his fans will look forward to his last album...

  1. RIP Nujabes; I remember the first time that I heard of him -- his music truly was unique. He gave us what was possible, and not what was the norm. Genius dies quickly.
