MUSIC@TWO_SENSER: Nujabes - Battlecry

There's nothing more satisfying than the accidental discovery of new music. This particular discovery is already over a couple of years old - but better late than never.

Japanese hip-hop producer Nujabes was an originator, fusing hip-hop, breakbeats, soul and jazz in huge sweeping instrumental soundscapes. 

He lent a lot of his music to groundbreaking Manga cartoon serials, including Samurai Champloo - from which this particular track is taken.


This track is just a taste of several hours more of similar material which Nujabes produced during a prolific career - until his untimely death in a traffic accident in 2010. 

He leaves behind a legacy of rhymes and rhythms... RIP.
