Hip-hop that wasn't cliche. Hip hop that fused jazz and soul together. This dude literally changed the way I view not only hip-hop/instrumentals, but changed the way I looked at music as a whole. A seclusive and mysterious man, I guess it added to the mystique. His life was cut short on February 26th, 2010 due to a fatal car crash caused by an earthquake.

From Wikipedia:
Jun Seba (瀬葉淳, Seba Jun), (February 7, 1974 – February 26, 2010) was a Japanese hip-hop producer and DJ who recorded under the name Nujabes[img] (Noo-Jah-Bess). His alias was simply his penname "sebajun" spelled backwards. Nujabes was also owner of the Shibuya record stores, T Records and Guinness Records and founder of the independent label Hydeout Productions.
Nujabes also worked on the popular anime "Samurai Champloo" as one of the many successful producers/Djs who helped make the 4 soundtracks.

Please do not disregard this just because it's hip-hop, because it is SO much more than that.
I've heard about this guy before, listened a few songs and liked it. But I don't usually listen to this kinda music.
Very nice though.

It shares hiphop's beats, but its a much more engaging and intimate form of it. I'm surprised this even got featured.
Even though deceased he'll still be in my heart :unsmith:
whaaa he died?

Yeah a bit. Just kind of a "jazzier" Moby.

Same, even his super obscure mixtapes...
Damn I was listening to the first link and I knew it sounded familiar (watched Samurai Champloo like 999 years ago). This stuff is great!
