Many compare his style to that of the late J. Dilla.

Jun Seba, AKA Nujabes, was an underground Japanese hip-hop producer who recently passed away in a car accident.  I started listening to his music earlier this year, and while his beats definitely aren’t club bangers, this may be hip-hop headphone music at its finest.  If you guys are a fan of downtempo/soulful/jazz/smooth hip-hop beats, I think you’ll really enjoy this guy’s music.

Also, if you’re an anime fan, you might recognize him as the producer of pretty much the entire soundtrack of Samurai Champloo.

Here are some of my favorite tracks:
