VIDEO: Blitz the Ambassador
BY Eric Z. Camins, December 22, 2009
From Move Forward Music:
“Last week, Blitz the Ambassador blew the roof off BB King’s in Times Square with a rousing performance that converted even the most skeptical spectators at The Roots/OkayPlayer Holiday Jammy. It was the perfect cap to a triumphant 2009 for Blitz the Ambassador, a year where he introduced his groundbreaking Afro-influenced sound to the world with his debut album Stereotype, broke into the public consciousness and forcefully got his foot through the door. Look out for 2010 to be the year that Blitz busts that door off its hinges and smashes it to splinters.”
Check out these videos of some of the hair-raising performance:
“Breathe”
“Remembering the Future” featuring Bala Tunkara
Also, be sure to check out Blitz’s Live Sessions airing on MTV-U. By the looks of the amazingly shot trailer, its going to be fresh:
