Another in my line of Nujabes mash-ups in honor of Jun Seba.
This is one of Nujabes' most beautiful instrumentals, and I could've went with a straight love song, but that seems too obvious. I really like the way the melody of the beat contrasts the gritty realism of the lyrics. I would've included the third verse, but the only acapella I could find had cut short. I think it works better without it anyways.
This was made using Nujabes' 'Luv (sic) Part 2' and Nas' 'One Love'.
Oddisee is one of the many up-and-coming beatmakers in this new wave of production whose ability and raw talent is truly jaw-dropping. Just skip over Asher Roth's verse. Yuck. Arby Wan Kenobi
