Jun Seba AKA Nujabes passed away

[Fadedsun]

Nujabes was a Japanese hip-hop producer and DJ. I think he was most well known for doing the music to Samurai Champloo. He truly made some wonderful music and it's sad to see him go. It seems like most of the RPGfan community is into rock and metal, but I hope some of you listen to or heard of Nujabes.

Here is a statement from his friend Shing02, who Nujabes collaborated with often.

Damn, I just learned who this guy was like last week. R.I.P.

I posted a small bit about it in the song of the moment thread.  Man when I heard about this I was in utter shock.  I can't believe he's gone.  Huge blow to the Japanese scene, but at least he'll be able to live on through the incredible music he's put out...there are quite a few tribute songs put out and they are pretty hot.

I'm not a fan of hip hop at all but I was really surprised at how much I liked Modal Music the first time I heard it. Really too bad :(
