LETS END THE YEAR WITH A BANG!!!!

Peace y'all, so I can believe it. The year is already winding down and we are already preparing for a blast next year. First of....07 will mark Ghana's 50th year as an independent country (independent?? hmmm... not counting our new colonial masters the IMF and World Bank) All people of African decent should be proud of Ghana for being the first sub-saharan country to break free from European dominance and set an example for the rest of the continent. Shouts to Kwame Nkrumah...March 6th means everything to us. Next thing that makes 07 special, our lovely mother, Sista, comrade and friend Assata Shakur will be 60 years living in exile in Cuba. We support and celebrate this Sista's life and we say "Hands off Assata". Another reason to look foward to 07 is the release of my third installement of the Blitz trilogy... 'SUICIDE STEREOTYPE'. If you are familiar with Soul Rebel and Double Consciousness, you already know what to expect. I have been working on this album all year and this should be the final piece of the puzzle. Sometimes I honestly look back at where we started and cant believe we made it this far, with no deal... no budget.... no tour support. We survivalist indeed and I urge all y'all who been the back bone of the movement to stay supporting it. Our time is coming soon.....Hip Hop is alive and well... "Fuck going mainstream, she's back in the River". So before we go jumping into an action packed 07' I'm finishing this year with a solid 10 city tour together with Play Havoc, Rime Royal and Edotkom. This is a Mid west tour but I will be playing some solo dates inbetween. Check out tour schedule and like we say every time GET INVOLVED.
Bless up.

BLACK AUGUST............

BLITZ and M1 (Dead Prez) BackSage Black August.


Peace Y'all... so I finally got the chance to update y'all on the tour after about a week without the internet... (thank God for wifi) I have to begin with a small Black August update. For those of you who are not familiar with Black August, this is an annual benefit concert for political prisoners living in exile. (Hands of Assata!!!!!!) I spent my night back stage at BB Kings with some of HipHop best MC's:... Black Thought, M1(Dead Prez), Brand Nubian (without Puba) Talib Kweli...etc. The highlight of the night??...Hands down The Roots....( Quest killed it) Peace to DJ Bazarro, Evil Dee, Dre Oba and Conscious Teez for the free gear.
Next stop??.... Pittsburgh, where last night we held it down with DJ Big Phill to celebrate the life and music of one of HipHop's greatest J Dilla. (and if you dont got The Shinning yet?? get it after you are done reading this...its Banging) We hosted the night and rocked a few joints inbetween DJ Phills set. Absolute dopeness. Big ups to Brandon for once again letting me crash on his couch. Next up is Portland, Oregon where I get down wih DJ Scratch (the Roots) for the a few more dates.
West Coast, Here we come.
One.

BOSTON JUMPOFF..........

BEAN-TOWN MASSACRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


So I just got back to NYC on the China town bus from Boston and I must say this was a crazy journey.... but very worth the trip. First off I must say much love to the whole Bean-Town for showing much appreciation for the underground. ( I think
I might have got a lil more love if I did not mention that I lived in NYC...lol) But fuck baseball rivalry because Boston still held it down for real HIP HOP. Big ups to Lyrics Born and D-Tension for letting me share the bill with them and even though the stage manager cut my show in half (missed out on Black Market..Memory lane etc...) we still rocked like it was an hour long show. Much love to DJ Lokash for coming through once again....Fly Movement for doing the same and much much love to Rebecca for letting us crash on her couch and air mattress. (thats how we do on the underground son...fuck 5 star hotels....I still had my rest tho.. naah mean) Boston has so far been the most interesting date on the tour. I'm glad we made it happen. Next up, the Midwest... where I rejoin DJ Sleep to rock a few more dates
Stay checking for more reviews and updates.
One Love.

NYC JUMPOFF............

YOU AT THE BACK....YEAH YOU!!! BETTER CHECK OUT MY BLOG AFTER THE SHOW.
Blitz gets Busy in NYC (photo by Touch)

Aiight y'all so yesterday was a blaaaast. I woke up sore this morning from a 45 minute workout of a show. First off I want to thank the Fly Movement for coming thru, making their presence felt and for blessing me with a fresh Mohammed Ali T-shirt...(big shouts to James/ Terrence and my new sister from Ivoty Coast) Good looks to Modest Touch for the photos....Shouts to DJ Lokash for holding it down (our first show together)...killed the cuts on the brand new Joint 'B-Boy Massacre' which was by far my favorite highlight of the night. (and by the way I wrote and memorized that whole song two days before the show....some scary shit right?). The songs 'Together' and 'Need You' were other high points of the night. I pulled out this random chick and used her to tell the love gone bad story. (.....I wonder if she will read this blog..Damn she was fine too). Over all I got to say NYC was a good audience for my first stop on the tour. The crowd went ape every time we droped a new joint...a few people just kept sitting at the bar but after two, three songs most of them found their way to the front. A real big shout out to every body that came out to support inspite of the late late set time. but what did I expect.... after all New York is the city that never sleeps right??. Next up: Instore in Harlem, then Boston with Lyrics Born..
Thanks for checking out my journal and I hope you drop a comment especially if you were at the show.
Peace...............

THE AMBASSADOR TOUR

We Are On a The Road Y'all,.....Get your CD's DVD's and Shirt (Brandon gets his hustle on at the merch table)

Tomorrow is the first day of the tour and I am very very excited....it is 2am and I'm still up cross checking everything from set lists to merchandise inventory. The NYC show is more of a warm up show cos its the first time I'm rockin with DJ Lokash who will be handling my east coast dates and DJ sleepyhead rocking the rest of the tour. We will have brand new limited edition SoulRebel Vintage shirts for sale on this tour and if you have not picked up Soul Rebel or Double Consciousness CD's this is your chance to get it before we swing through your city. www.blitztheambassador.com I will also be updating y'all with either a photo or performance clip from each show hours after we rock. I will also give a summary on how good/bad the show went and what the high/low points were. (hope there are more highs than lows......) So stay tuned and check back tomorrow for the first show update.

One luv.

BLITZtheAMBASSADOR IS BACK!

About time I started keeping a weekly journalof some sort. for those of you who have been checkingback to see whats new with me I've got to apologisefor the slow mo. All said and done I promise to fill yall in on my hustle and I hope y'all share yours with me.Something crazy happened to me this week that I think is worth mentioning. I turned down a record deal which is probably the hardest thing I've done in quite some time. considering the stale nature of Hip Hop, most people would have jumped at the national exposure the company (no name mentioned) was offering me. But like OnebeLo told me," its real easy to get yourself into a fucked up situation but real difficult to get out. (or something like that). In any case all I can say is follow your heart and if something dont feel right, dont second guess it. I know that this episode has exposed me to the ills of the game, and yes I am jaded. Not because some corporate snake approached me with a fucked up contract, but because of the walking contradictions we have become.Red Black and Greed.
