About the Artist
A mix of Hip Hop, rock, jazz, and world music, Blitz the Ambassadorʼs, Stereotype, is a bold, genre-bending journey down musicʼs darkest alleys. With live horns, strings, and percussion, Blitz the Ambassador and the Embassy Ensemble take Hip Hop on a world journey. Taking the listener from Blitzʼ native land of Ghana, to his current residency in Brooklyn NY, Stereotype is truly changing the course of Hip Hop music. “I went for broke with this album,” says the Ghana-born MC and producer who counts Fela Kuti, Bjork, Miles Davis, Nina Simone and Rakim among his influences. “I set out to change the way hip-hop approaches live instrumentation, to create synergy between all of the sounds on my personal playlist.”
DJBooth.net: "Iʼm just gonna come right out and say it: Stereotype is one of the best albums of the year."
BallerStatus.com: "Blitz' new album is what a classic should sound like. Don't sleep on him, he's the next best thing in hip-hop, period."
HipHopDX.com: "Rare is the release that encompasses a concoction of poetic rhyme styles with potently precise production...With Stereotype, Blitz The Ambassador makes the rarity look effortless.
