I'm a big fan of Japanese Hip Hop producer, Nujabes. I think I've come to love his works when I first got hold of em' at The Resistance (great discussion forum btw). So yeah, I got one of his album, Metaphorical Music and it's good fusion music, that's all I have to say. Hip Hop with jazz and maybe even a touch of bossa nova. I don't like to define these things so just check out his music and feel. That's the main thing.
Yusef Lateef is a jazz musician. I only got to know of his music today, thanks to Wikipidia and YouTube. You guys should do random browsing when you're bored, it's fun and at times it could lead to quite knowledgeable findings. And today, I couldn't be more happier thanks to Yusef Lateef.
So why are these two great musicians mentioned in the same entry? Well I kind of got to hear one of Yusef Laeef's song, Love Theme from Spartacus in YouTube and straight away it reminded me of a Hip Hop song I love very much and that is Nujabes's 'The Final View'. I think its very cleverly sampled and it's just beautiful.
