Jun Seba (. ) (February 7, 1974-February 26, 2010) was a Japanese hip-hop music producer who recorded under the name Nujabes (new-jah- behz; which is simply his real name spelled backwards). His music is known for a strong cool jazz influence, frequently using samples from artists like Miles Davis and Yusef Lateef. He was also an owner of "tribe", a record store in Shibuya, Tokyo, and led indie record label Hyde-Out Productions. He was also an owner of "tribe", a record store in Shibuya, Tokyo, and led indie record label Hyde-Out Productions. He released two albums in Japan, Metaphorical Music in 2003 and Modal Soul in 2005. He was also a member of the production duo Urbanforest, an experimental collaboration with Nao Tokui (appearing on the Lady Brown 12"). In addition to Japanese artists like Shing02 and MINMI, he has collaborated with underground American hip-hop acts Cyne, Apani B-Fly, Five Deez, Substantial, Fat Jon and British rapper Funky DL. He has also contributed music to the soundtrack of Samurai Champloo, an anime which blends a setting in feudal Japan with modern anachronisms, especially hip-hop music. On March 17, 2010, it was announced on the Hyde-Out Productions website that Jun passed away on February 26, 2010 at the age of 36 after being involved in a serious car accident on the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway. He was promptly transported to the hospital, where attempts to revive him were unsuccessful. An English announcement was made on March 18 by friend and collaborator Shing02 on the Empire22 website: Today, I have very somber news for the international hip hop community, especially fans of the independent hip hop scene, and those who have followed my career. It has been announced that Jun Seba, aka Nujabes, Japanese hip hop producer extraordinaire, passed away late February. Official statement from the label (in Japanese) here: http://hydeout.net/hydeout/2010/03/_hydeoutproductions.html. We deeply regret the loss of a unique talent and a close friend. Through his soulful music, Nujabes has touched so many people around the world, even beyond his dreams. He was a mysterious character to most as he avoided the public limelight, rarely conducted interviews, so only a few got to know the man behind the signature production. Yet it continued to amaze me how young listeners of all backgrounds learned of his enigmatic name, and expressed support for his music. As I write now from Japan, I had been leaving him messages the past couple of weeks, trying to get in the studio together, so the news could not have come any more unexpected. Even last week, I passed by his house and called him thinking he was still home. I met Nujabes around 2000 and as an upcoming MC, I was fortunate to work on tracks such as Battlecry, F.I.L.O, Luv(sic) parts 1, 2 and 3. We had been working on the next trilogy of Luv(sic) over the past year (which we're determined to see through). The last time we talked in January, Nujabes emailed me to wish Jeff Resurreccion, a 19-year old beatboxer who had just passed way from cancer, his heartfelt condolences. While we continue to respect the privacy of his family, we will work to preserve his legacy, and pay tribute to the body of work, some unreleased, that he has left for us to enjoy. Jun Seba will be dearly missed by his family, friends, colleagues, and fans worldwide. Nujabes spiritual state full album download mp3.

Nujabe’s Spiritual State. In 2005 classic, Wedding Crashers , Will Ferrell as the charming Chazz Reinhold, utters a classic line to protegé John Beckwith (played by Owen Wilson). “Grief is nature’s most powerful aphrodisiac,” he says to a wide-eyed Wilson, before shuffling out a newly widowed stunner and screaming at his mother for “ meatloaf, fuck!” While its role in the real life funeral crashing success rate is unclear, death can be a record label’s Cialis. What better way to revive a career ended too soon than by exploiting a delicate time of remembrance, packaging “intimate, never-before-heard” (correction: unfinished) demos and slapping it together with some tear-jerking album art? Sure, it can be successful (Tupac, who currently resides somewhere in Cuba, can attest to that). More often than not, it’s disappointing. And usually, the record company’s scheming album for revenue recovery is shit (one shudders at remembering the King of Pop, for the posthumous Michael , or John Lennon for Milk And Honey) . When the Japanese hip-hop producer Seba Jun more commonly known as Nujabes died in February 2009, there wasn’t the same outpouring of grief usually inspired by an artist’s premature demise. In fact, it wasn’t until a month later that the world seemed to notice the death of the mysterious DJ, when Hydeout Productions released a statement that its 36-year-old founder had been killed in a car accident. After a short Twitter outburst a month later, the world returned to steady state. There were no city-wide funeral processions. There was no media outburst or examination into cause of death. And there were certainly no quick-handed attempts to throw a shoddy posthumous album together. Nujabes, who hadn’t released a studio album since 2005, had already been working on something before he died, Hydeout announced. It would be released when it was ready. Two years later, Hydeout is ready–not to collect a hefty profit on its fallen founder–but to pay tribute to one the most influential producers from the Land of the Rising Sun. On Saturday, the label released Nujabe’s final work, tying up loose ends for a legend who seemed to already be weaving his final tale. Spiritual State is about as complete as an epilogue could be, an album hauntingly named for an artist deeply interested in the metaphysical. As much as 2005’s Modal Soul was about corporeal existence, its successor is fittingly transcendent, focusing on the being that comes after death. At only 38, it was impossible for Jun to know he was nearing his end. But, opener “Spiritual State” sounds as if something composed by a man in the winter of his life. Featuring ever-present collaborator, Uyama Hiroto, the self-titled track isn’t something readily classified as hip hop, building off sleigh bell-mimicking handclap sample that’s balanced with delicate piano. At this time of year, with Christmas trees lit up in living rooms and snow about to fall, the opener begs yuletide memories, before closing with a saxophone jam that puts Mr. Saxobeat to shame. Two flute-based instrumentals “Spiral” and “Dawn of the Side,” driven by the steady pulses of an upright base and the injection of Spanish guitar, maintain the somber atmosphere throughout the album, as Nujabes remains brooding, but with more traditional hip-hop rhythms. Whereas past Nujabes efforts, namely Modal Soul , acted as mediums for vocal contributors to shine through over beautifully crafted rhythms, Spiritual State is much more instrumental. Rap-infused tracks serve as breaks to the jazz ensemble melodies. When they do appear, however, the collaborations contain the usual suspects that have worked with Jun in the past. welcomed with open arms. The cameos of undergrounders Pase Rock, Substantial and Cise Star, are welcome interjections, adding a bit of pace and verve to Nujabes’ coolhanded approach. On “Yes,” with a beat that would seem best fit on an Ibiza beach, Pase Rock dovetails with a piano sample for the most upbeat collaboration on the album. The Five Deez emcee also appears on “City Lights” with Substantial, providing a chorus that reminisces on the death of the album’s creator. “Fade to black the soundtrack to another night/ It’s the music to the rain and the city lights/ Feel no pain, it makes the whole city bright/ Without the sparkle of hype it’s just another night,” Pase Rock raps, perhaps in a subtle reference to Jun, who died driving at night along a Tokyo expressway. In understanding the album post-Jun’s passing, song titles alone seem to have a greater meaning. “The Sky Is Tumbling,” a cacophonous mix featuring Cise Star demands speaks of touching the face of God, while “Waiting For The Clouds,” has Substantial contemplating the path to posthumous existence. “If our future is bright, then the present is overcast/ And we want it to be over fast,” he sings. Yet for an artists who said few words, it seems fitting that Spiritual State is best defined by songs with little to any.
