I remember when a hip hop fan got back from Japan they always asked him if he went to his record shop and took pictures of it and if they met Nujabes himself. Not only his music, but his character too. Even DJ Premier, a renowned hip hop producer and DJ dedicated a blog to the late Nujabes on his blog. His death is being mourned by many from all around the world. Hydeout Productions will release some of Nujabes’ tracks he’s been working on before his untimely death. Nujabes, who’s nickname is actually his real name spelled backwards have worked with some of the most respected underground hip hop artists of our times namely CYNE, Apani B, Five Deez, Substantial, CL Smooth, Terry Callier, Funky DL and R&B singer Dwele. The entertainer is the founder of his record company Hydeout Productions, owner of two Tokyo record stores, Guinness Records and T Records. His death and funeral was kept secret for unknown reasons. Nujabes crashed his car leaving the Metropolitan Expressway in Tokyo’s Minato Ward, as confirmed on the website and his friend and collaborator, Shing02.
