 Nujabesnote pronounced "NOO-juh-BESS" (real name: Jun Seba, or 瀬葉 æ·³; February 7, 1974 – February 26, 2010) was a Japanese hip-hop producer, DJ, composer and engineer. Although relatively niche during his lifetime, he achieved great acclaim after his death, and he has a legacy to this day as one of the most highly celebrated artists of his field.He is known as one of the forerunners of the jazz-based slant of instrumental hip hop, with a distinctly mellow, soulful, and atmospheric approach to sample-based beatmaking that has reflected onto modern production techniques, namely through the modern subgenres of "chillhop" and "lo-fi hip-hop", of which he is commonly credited as a Ur-Example.One of his main claims to fame was his extensive work on the soundtrack of Samurai Champloo, creating its opening theme "Battlecry" and its ending theme "Shiki no Uta" as well as many more songs on the two official soundtracks of the show (Departure and Impression).Being a very private person, not much is known about Nujabes' personal life. He is known to have owned a record store in Shibuya in his adulthood, and he also founded the independent record label Hydeout Productions, from which a number of well-received compilations were released.Nujabes' career was cut short on February 26, 2010 when he was involved in a late-night traffic accident exiting the Shuto Expressway. He was pronounced dead at a Shibuya Ward hospital after several failed revival attempts.He was working on his fifth studio album, Spiritual State, at the time of his passing. Understandably, those close to him didn't want to let the album fail to see the light of day, so the album was eventually finished and released posthumously at the end of 2011. Furthermore, at the time of Nujabes' passing, the "Luv(sic)" hexalogy, a series of songs made in collaboration with rapper Shing02, was half-finished, and it was eventually completed.His personal website can be found here.Rest in beats.
