Blitz Ambassador is one of my favorite hip-hop artists of today. I am fortunate to be part of his #AfropolitanDreams movement and know him. Watching him grow as a live performer (“Where my horns?”) rocking all over the world inspires me on the daily. As we work to bring this idea of #ThinkGlobal out there through culture, it gives me great pleasure to rock all his new music and tell you all about it! Here, OkayAfrica premieres his new video:
“Continuing to reflect on where he comes from, the Ghanaian/New York-based rap laureate looked to Accra, Ghana as the natural backdrop for the track’s visuals. Blitz nods to his hometown with a particular spotlight on Accra’s BMX “Bikelordz” and amateur boxers. Afropolitan Dreams is due out April 28th via Jakarta Records and features guest appearances from Angélique Kidjo, Nneka, Brazilian hip-hop’s Marcelo D2, French/Malian emcee Oxmo Puccino, Sarkodie, Seun Kuti and more.”
