Music detour:
Nujabes played a role in my favorite anime soundtrack all time...Samurai Champloo
The Director was BIG on musical scores reflecting his anime. Champloo went hip-hop, but he's more known for Cowboy Bebop which was jazz themed and also had a banging soundtrack. For Jazz heads, peep this fire right here...
And this is all in my head space recently because Cowboy Bebop is getting a live-action remake on Netflix that drops Friday. So I've been running that soundtrack like crazy recently and it usually leads me to the Champloo soundtrack which means lots of Nujabes.
And back to Nujabes, Modal Soul captures so much of the vibes I love in hip-hop...felt boom-bap inspired which is what I grew up on.
