The official website of hydeout productions has announced on Thursday that Jun Seba, the hip-hop producer better known as Nujabes, passed away due to an automobile accident in Tokyo late in the evening of February 26. He was 36 years old. An ambulance had rushed Nujabes to a hospital in Tokyo’s Shibuya ward, but the live-saving efforts of the medical staff were ultimately unsuccessful. Source
This is really sad, Nujabes was a really dope producer mostly dealing w/ jazz and soul samples. Metaphorical Music is one my favorite albums, if you still dont know him then you might recognize his work as producer for the HipHop/Samurai infused classic anime, Samurai Champloo, He will be missed.
