I recently became very interested in the late Japanese artist Nujabes. He recently passed away, but his music seems to have just entered my life. I really like the fact that his tracks are not necessarily traditional songs with verses and lyrics, but they are combinations of words, beats, and melody that work together to intricately pull on my heartstrings. Interestingly, I first heard his beats while watching a Korean hiphop/bboy(?) member (Wassup from Prepix) dance to his song “Still Talking to You”.'

Although I admire the smooth dancing very much and could watch forever, the music was so chill that I searched for more information on the beatmaker. Recently, I found that Nujabes also made the soundtrack for the anime “Samurai Champloo” which I recently started getting into over the summer (entire season 1 free on YouTube!). I don’t know if I have a definite favorite yet because all of them sound so good, but I tend to lean toward the tracks with a nice beat combined with a bit of jazzy piano and a subtle voice integrated. Right now, I'm listening the most to "Aruarian Dance" and "Still Talking to You". I’m still searching, so if any of you guys like Nujabes already or think you’ll like his music, tell me your favorites! (Right now, I’m listening to "Kumomi")
