I woke up today to hear the sad news that Japanese Hip Hop producer Nujabes had died.  He was involved in a car crash last month, he was only 36 years old.  It was only two days ago i wrote a feature about him.  The news was announced on his label Hydeout‘s official website.

Nujabes is a artist who will never be forgotten, he introduced the world to beautiful music and everyone who heard his music instantly became a fan.

Below is a list of quotes from musicians and fans alike:
