Substantial – “Ain’t No Happy Endings” – Produced by: Nujabes

Over the last several days I have taken time to reflect and mourn the loss of my Uncle, Milton Hewlin (“One of the hardest working men” my family has ever known) and also mourn my friend, Jun Seba aka Nujabes. This has been a difficult time but I continue to push forward and do my best to stay strong for those I care about. A lot of people (friends, associates, and strangers) have sent their condolences and for that, I thank you. Now, I wish to tell you about what my friend Jun meant to me.

We first began talking in 1999 when my friend, Sphere of Influence put us in contact. I hadn’t heard of him before that but when I got his beat tape (yes, it was an actual cassette) in the mail, I knew that he was something special so, I signed with his label Hyde Out Productions later that year. He took a chance on me when I was still trying to find my voice as an artist and a man. But he believed in my words and because of that, we have made a lot of great music together that will stand the test of time.
