R.I.P. 瀬場 潤「Nujabes」



It's been a sad day. We have lost 瀬場 潤 (Seba Jun), better known as Nujabes, a world famous Japanese Hip Hop Producer. If you're an anime fan you'll probably know his work on the Series Samurai Champloo (one of my favs). This was the post found on his Hydeout Productions Website:

"On February 26, 2010, Jun Seba was involved in a traffic accident upon exiting the Shuto Expressway late at night. He died at a hospital in Shibuya Ward after failed efforts to revive him. He was 36 years old. There was a private burial with only family in attendance. Hydeout Productions has stated that Nujabes has left behind tracks, which they plan to release in the near future."

Shit man, It feels like it was only yesterday that I was playin his tunes to mend a broken heart, and it feels like only a moment ago I was expressing my love through them. I'm always listening to him! He was like a friend that I was always kicking it with someone to share the good and bad time with.

There's just this beautiful flow in his his music, a very humble Japanese flavor (and I'm not refering to that J-pop rubbish) I mean the real deep, down to earth humble, earthy, n warm Japanese feel, get my drift? Here just look at this album cover. I think the visuals will sum up this feeling I'm trying to get at.
瀬場 潤, Nujabes, you will be missed and your music will forever be carried on deep in my heart ♥. Keep pushin them beats for the angels above.
