New York-based Ghanaian Rapper Hits Fox TV
By Linda A. Annan
The after-effect of a Blitz performance is simply exhilarating. The infectious energy that radiates from the stage is part of the “Blitz the Ambassador Experience”. And then there is his band, The Embassy Ensemble, whose vigorous performance ignites the show. It is no wonder they were able to land a gig on Fox TV, and they killed that as well!
Live bands are seldom present in rap shows, but this rapper sure makes it his trademark, it seems to have become the essence of his craft.
And he participates in it! A typical show would be one in which he breaks, in the middle of a performance to work the drums, catching up to the accelerated rhythms of his band. Blitz has an incredible way of creating hip hop that isn’t confined to the walls of most of today rap music. The use of saxophones and other instruments enlivens the performance.
