So I’ve been listening to this rapper.
His name is Jun Seba. He is a Japanese hip-hop music profucer and DJ, as well as a composer and arranger who records under the name Nujabes.
Its pretty cool, the name he goes under Nujabes is an anagram of his first name (Jun) and last name (Seba) spelled backwards and combined.
His music is known for a strong jazz and soul music influence, frequently using samples from artists like Miles Davis, Pat Metheny, and Yusef Lateef.
I usually don’t listen to rap however, My friend was talking about how he didn’t like the traditional rap that is main stream but rather a underground sort of rap. I had no idea what he was talking about so he sent me a link of Feathers[Feat. Cise Starr & Akin].
I would recommend him to anyone who is interested in this.
Here is the album art of the CD Modal Soul.
He’s amazing. Very original and not mainstream. Some of the best beats I’ve ever heard.
