Just found out Jun Seba (Nujabes) was killed in a car accident... Not sure if there were any fans on this forum, but I decided to post it anyway. He was a Japanese Hip Hop musician. Mostly instrumental, but worked with other artists which added vocals to some of his music.

Yeah seriously I don't even listen to hip hop much, but his music was very relaxing and had a mixture of different genres.
I didn't know this, thanks for the post. I grew up with the soundtrack from Samurai Champloo in the background of everything I did in my college days.
RIP Nujabes. I also got into his music from Samurai Champloo and one of his songs, Imaginary Folklore was one of my favourite songs off him.
