Nujabes Discography (4 Albums)





Jun Seba (せば じゅん, Seba Jun?) is a Japanese hip-hop music producer and DJ who records under the name Nujabes. Nujabes is an anagram of his first name (Jun) and last name (Seba) spelled backwards and combined. Besides making music, he is also an owner of "T Records" and "Guinness Records" (both record stores in Shibuya, Tokyo), and runs Hyde-Out Productions. He has released four CD albums in Japan, Metaphorical Music in 2003, Modal Soul in 2005, also Hydeout Productions 1st and 2nd Collection. He has also contributed music to the soundtrack of Samurai Champloo, an anime which blends a feudal Japan setting with modern anachronisms, especially hip-hop music.

In the tradition of trip hop, a new genre that was born in the mid 90s, focusing on hip hop with jazz based music (usually sampling from other songs), or jazz techno music, Nujabes' albums are surely worth to listen to. These albums are amazing. For you who like jazzy hip hop, brokenbeat, rap, nu jazz, DJ-like musics, get these albums!
