Get to know NUJABES.




So, I've been on this...Nujabes tip for a while now.

"Your volumptuous, sweet caramel-brown-honey-dew-satin-skin smooth to the touch, what a nigga do?" -Lady-Brown by Nujabes ft. Cise Star

I'm still trying to figure out why so many people just...don't know about him. He's been featured in popular anime Samurai Champloo (creator Shinichiro Watanabe [Cowboy Bebop], studio Manglobe) in both the Intro theme song (Battlecry) and the Outro theme song (Shiki no Uta ft. Minmi). Some of his phenomenal beats have been co-produced by Shing02, such as the song Love Sic, while others feature the lyrical skills of some dope underground artists like Cise Star (http://www.myspace.com/cisestar) and Cyne (http://www.myspace.com/cyne).

"Mata yo ga akereba owakare, yume wa tooki maboroshi ni, anata wo oikakete ita hikari no naka de, dakareru tabi atatakai, kaze wo tayori!" -Shiki no Uta by Nujabes ft. Minmi

A great way to discover his music, and other artists with similar styles, is by utilizing the free online radio source, http://www.pandora.com/ and typing in Nujabes' name for an endless playlist you can jam to whenever you're on the computer.

So, I encourage you to get to know this Japanese DJ. Buy Modal Soul. Check out his beats.
I even youtube'd you an example.
