...Wow, this is terrible news. He was a really talented producer, his work was brilliant, be it his own on albums like Modal Soul and the Hydeout Productions Collections or the beats he produced for artists like Five Deez and Substantial. It's heartbreaking to hear of such a talented musician taken away so early on in his life. R.I.P., his music will truly live on forever.

This guy created music that inspired me to open my arms, not just to hip-hop (A genre I once gave wide berth) but to many other genres of music I had previous decided I would not listen to nor like. His music taught me patience and expanded my tolerance for art of sound and the different interpretations people create and this poise, this optimism that if I just listen for a little longer I'll find something I like, spread from my taste in music to other aspects of my life.

He will be missed, honored, loved and never replaced. Rest in Peace, Nujabes.

That man gave so much to not just the hip hop community but to the music industry in general.
Rest in Peace, Seba Jun..

This made me cry 

[Turbo Baby Puncher]

Incredibly sad...

A man who truly was an artist, and taught me acceptance of different music genres, especially to Hip-Hop which is one of the genres I would've least expected myself to be listening too.

You will be missed.
