Blitz the Ambassador is lyrically gifted. With the ability to rhyme on a dime (see…he is rubbing off on me already), he raps about issues that make you take a second look–a deeper look–and see what is really there. His album, ‘Stereotype’, was extremely popular. In it he addresses issues that affect us all, and draws us into the parallels and similarities between Africa and the Diaspora. The verbal imagery is powerful, drawing us into the images he paints as he leads us on this musical journey. Jamati Online was able to catch up with him to talk about his latest project, an album and short film called “Native Sun“.
