Fat Jon is one my beatmaking GOATs, his early 5 Deez/3582 shyt defined an entire era for me in the early 2000s. The last thing son did was a Soundtrack for some indie comic in 2016. And that shyt was fire



As far as Science Fiction, I feel like alot of brehs slept on him. I owned all his work on wax from that era. He was great at infusing the Afro sounds with the soul vibe. That joint he had with DOOM was

I was able to cop a lot of Fat Jon's music on vinyl thanks to discogs

I fukk wit Jinsang heavy

one of my favorite tracks in any genre of all time

Jinsang is the reason I started making beats

This is one of my favorite jazzy beats ever and definitely Nujabes inspired:


Nujabes, Uyama, and other Japanese producers have a way of flipping jazz samples that I haven't fully grasped yet. They kind of preserve the original sound of the sample and put the drums on top. It flows so well though. When I first heard Nujabes I was wondering if he sampled or had musicians playing.

Watching Watanabe's new show Lazarus had me in my feels with the music and reminded me of Nujabes. I know he didn't work on Cowboy Bebop but still Champloo and Bebop is just great music.
