Guys, I'm seriously beyond shocked at this news. It's really really terrible. And the sad part is that it was barely noticed just now when in fact he had died in February. I never expected Nujabes to seriously just fucking die out of nowhere.
So I'm sharing this news with you so that perhaps you can discover the great music he has produced.
Rest in peace Nujabes. :(

Today, I have very somber news for the international hip hop community, especially fans of the independent hip hop scene, and those who have followed my career.
It has been announced that Jun Seba, aka Nujabes, Japanese hip hop producer extraordinaire, passed away late February. Official statement from the label (in Japanese) here:

We deeply regret the loss of a unique talent and a close friend. Through his soulful music, Nujabes has touched so many people around the world, even beyond his dreams. He was a mysterious character to most as he avoided the public limelight, rarely conducted interviews, so only a few got to know the man behind the signature production. Yet it continued to amaze me how young listeners of all backgrounds learned of his enigmatic name, and expressed support for his music.
As I write now from Japan, I had been leaving him messages the past couple of weeks, trying to get in the studio together, so the news could not have come any more unexpected. Even last week, I passed by his house and called him thinking he was still home.
I met Nujabes around 2000 and as an upcoming MC, I was fortunate to work on tracks such as Battlecry, F.I.L.O, Luv(sic) parts 1, 2 and 3. We had been working on the next trilogy of Luv(sic) over the past year (which we're determined to see through). The last time we talked in January, Nujabes emailed me to wish Jeff Resurreccion, a 19-year old beatboxer who had just passed way from cancer, his heartfelt condolences.
While we continue to respect the privacy of his family, we will work to preserve his legacy, and pay tribute to the body of work, some unreleased, that he has left for us to enjoy. Jun Seba will be dearly missed by his family, friends, colleagues, and fans worldwide.
in peace,

If it's any help he contributed to the Samurai Champloo soundtrack. I bet a lot of people here just don't know who he is then. it's heart breaking for me.

A hiphop producer
Well, this is quite a sad day for Hip-Hop.

What, if you don't like a Genre don't talk shit about it. I don't exactly like black metal but you don't see me talking shit about it do you. Grow up and get some respect.
Heard his music from Samurai Champloo. I liked his stuff, the beats always calm and tranquil. Really out of nowhere that he dies.

When I saw this my heart skipped a beat. His music is so calming and beautiful.
