Radio is dead. It got hit by a taxi after robbing up-and-coming, talented and artistic musicians.
At least that’s what’s depicted in “Breathe,” the breakout song and video from Ghana-born rapper/producer Blitz The Ambassador, which debuted Tuesday on MTV2.
The first single from Blitz’s upcoming album, Stereotype, the song shows the world what he’s about: Lyrics that denounce much of the stupidity of mainstream hip-hop, and beats with a heavy emphasis on horns and bass.
With a voice and cadence reminiscent of The Roots’ Black Thought and the 5-piece Mighty Embassy Ensemble backing him live, Blitz is sure to make waves when his album is released on August 4.
