Influential DJ and hip-hop producer Nujabes (real name Jun Seba) was a force of nature. His music calms me on my worst days and stokes my creativity on my best days. While he passed away in 2010, his music and his impact live on. Mindful Music on YouTube has posted this great Nujabes tribute mix to celebrate what would have been his 43rd birthday – today, February 7th. I’ll probably be listening to it for the rest of the day, if not all week.
