Video: Funky DL – Ode To Nujabes
Funky DL was one of the first MC’s to work with Nujabes on a total of ten songs, some famously known and some unreleased to this day. He shares his memories of collaborating with Nujabes over this smooth and melancholy groove and narrates his coming to meet, share and experience travels in music with the talented producer, DJ and friend.
It’s been a little longer than a year ago since Japanese producer Nujabes passed away. I think everyone will agree if we say that it’s a big loss for hip hop music. Since his tragic death there has been a lot of tribute releases, tracks and even events to pay hommage to Jun Seba. Even after longer than a year, Funky DL dropped this tribute track and video.

This song is taken from the forthcoming Funky DL album ‘Blackcurrent Jazz 2’. The ‘Ode To Nujabes’ single is now available on iTunes. Also keep your ears open for the ‘Funky DL Samples Stevie Wonder EP’, to be released anytime soon. A track off that EP can be heard here.
