Jun Seba aka Nujabes, Rest In Peace - 2010 'til infinity

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.

in peace,
Shing02
