The seed of rebellion has taken root. On the frontline stands Blitz The Ambassador. This multitalented lyricist/producer/director was born and raised in Ghana. His very first encounter with the emerging Hip-Hop Nation came with KRS One’s “The Bridge is Over”. This early exposure set the tone for what was to become a childhood full of MC battles, local radio appearances, and homegrown popularity that could only come with the emergence of a young star.
Fast forward to Brooklyn New York; Immersed in the sounds and sights of hip-hops home, Blitz honed his skills lyrically as an MC. Sick of the mundane "assembly-line" nature of Hip-Hop, Blitz crafted a unique sound, taking cues from such artists as Miles Davis, Fela Kuti, Mos Def, Talib Kweli and Dead Prez – his unique sound bridges the gap between the soulful sounds of the streets and the ill-nature of politics.
With Blitz’s third studio album, Suicide Stereotype he has his mind set on changing the way hiphop approaches live instrumentation, lyrical content and the multimedia experience. The album features emerging collaborators Hypnotic (Brass Ensemble), Honey La Rochelle, Rob Murat, Mattison, etc and production from long time coproducer Optiks,
This diverse array of collaborators and creative partners has produced an album that’s range spans the worlds of Afrohop, Progressive Rock, Classic Jazz and Soul, Latin rhythms and England’s emerging Grime sound. Hiphop has come to a fork in the road and the road leads to Blitz The Ambassador.
