Nujabes was a Japanese hip-hop producer and DJ. His real name is Jun Seba. His DJ name is just his name spelled backwards. Many of Nujabes's songs includes an element of jazz in them. Although most of his songs are only instrumentals, he still created some songs with lyrics in them. The song above is a collaboration with him and a rap group called CYNE. The rappers who are featured in the song are Cise Starr and Akin. The song above is from his album Modal Soul. Even though Nujabes isn't as famous in the U.S., he is considered a God in Japan. He his famous for producing a number of songs featured in anime cartoons.The theme song for the anime cartoon show, Samurai Champloo, was created by Nujabes. Nujabes died on February 26, 2010. He was involved in fatal car accident. He was 36 years old. I like his songs because they sound very peaceful and have a calming effect. Whenever I feel stressed out, I listen to his music to unwind and relax. The song above is a clear example of how music can unite people. Nujabes is Japanese, and the rappers from CYNE are American. Despite their cultural and ethnic differences, they are still able to collaborate and create a beautiful song.
