Nujabes’ Last Beat he was working on.
Some background on Nujabes. He was owner of the Shibuya record stores, T Records and Guinness Records and founder of the independent label Hydeout Productions.
He’s collaboed with the famous Japanese artists such as Uyama Hiroto, Shing02 which we are all familiar with the Luv Sic tracks, and lastly Minmi. In addition, he has also collaborated with the underground American Hip-Hop artists CYNE, Cise Starr(solo artist apart from CYNE), Apani B, Five Deez, Substantial, CL Smooth, Terry Callier, and also the British rapper Funky DL who I have to say is one of my favorites.
Jun Seba was on of the most prolific contributors to the background music and soundtracks of the Anime show Samurai Champloo, if anyone remembers, which was an anime that blended fuedal Japan settings with modern anachronisms, especially in regards to hip hop culture.Lastly to say, this track, that he left unfinished, is amazing. Just like how Samurai Champloo ended, it makes you imagine how this track would have been if it was continued to be completed. Honestly, I couldn’t help but tear just a little to how beautiful this beat sounded.
Hip hop never died..it was just buried alive
