Legend 🐐

Nujabes, born Jun Seba, was a Japanese producer and DJ who played a pivotal role in creating the Lo-Fi hip-hop genre. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Nujabes started experimenting with blending smooth jazz, soulful samples, and mellow beats.

What made Nujabes' approach unique was his ability to capture a sense of nostalgia and emotional depth in his music. He embraced imperfections, leaving in vinyl crackles and warm analog textures, which gave his beats a raw and genuine quality.

Nujabes' most influential work came through his album "Modal Soul" (2005) and his collaboration on the soundtrack of the anime series "Samurai Champloo." His music became synonymous with relaxation, study sessions, and a meditative ambiance.

Tragically, Nujabes passed away in 2010, but his legacy lives on through the Lo-Fi movement he helped shape. His dedication to fusing jazz, soul, and downtempo beats has inspired countless artists to create the soothing, atmospheric sound that defines modern Lo-Fi hip-hop. Nujabes' influence continues to be felt by both music producers and listeners, marking him as a true pioneer of the genre

The Mind’s Eye: Ernest C. Withers
The acclaimed photographer captured the history, heart, and soul of Memphis.

Withers graduated from Manassas High in 1941. Other notable alumni include Isaac Hayes and jazz musicians George Coleman, Frank Strozier, and Harold Mabern.
