Nujabes
Still Talking To You
on Handcuts Japan
Take the name Jun Seba, spell it backward and combine it and you have Nujabes. He is referred to as one of Japan's premier hip-hop artists by Sputnik Music. Comparable to the legendary DJ Shadow, Nujabes music consists of samples from other records. Striving to have a different sound from anyone else, he focuses on samples from Miles Davis, Yusef Lateef , among countless other modal and cool jazz artists. He has collaborated with Shing02, Five Deez, Substantial, and many other rappers from all over the globe in production. Still Talking to You, released in 2003, shows Nujabes instrumental side and his amazing collection of fresh samples. Featuring the placid cover art of Syu , only 1000 copies of the album were released in Japan. The LP consists of two tracks, Still Talking to You on A, and Steadfast on B.
Still talking to You is a perfect example of Nujabes style. The distinct loose kicks and fast hats that make his beats flow along with the rim shots that to me, add his Asian influence. Even though Nujabes has produced a ponderosa of music, his progressive style of starting out with a beat and flowing into an addicting chorus is prevalent in all of his music.
