Jun Seba (せば　じゅん, Seba Jun) is a Japanese hip-hop music producer and DJ, as well as a composer and arranger who records under the name Nujabes. Nujabes is an anagram of his first name (Jun) and last name (Seba) spelled backwards and combined. He is a member of the production duo "Urbanforest", an experimental collaboration with Nao Tokui (appearing on the Lady Brown 12"). He has released two CD albums in Japan, Metaphorical Music in 2003 and Modal Soul in 2005. Specifically, Metaphorical Music sold over 20,000 copies by 2004, an unheard of amount for an independent release. After Tsutchie, Nujabes was the second artist Shinichir? Watanabe chose to contribute to music to the background music and soundtrack of Samurai Champloo, an anime which blends a feudal Japan setting with modern anachronisms, especially hip-hop music. In addition to Japanese artists like Uyama Hiroto, Shing02 and Minmi, he has collaborated with underground American hip-hop acts CYNE, Apani B, Five Deez, Substantial, CL Smooth, and with British rapper Funky DL.   Wikipedia
