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:

Nujabes ft Cise Star – Feather
Nujabes, your voice will always be heard through the power of your music. Your body may have passed away, by your soul will live on in the wonderful melodies you have shared with our world. I wish you all the best in the world you now reside in. They said Hip-Hop died, and if that were so, you, among the few, were the ones who revived it. I am sad I never personally got to meet with you or shake your hands, but… Thank You..thank you for everything. Rest in Peace! One Love.
