Album: DIASPORADICAL (Coming Fall 2015!)
​Video: Watch JuJu Girl Here


 

Ghanaian-American MC Blitz the Ambassador has been pioneering a unique blend of Hip-Hop and Afro-Beat for a while. His sound caught the attention of Legendary Public Enemy front man Chuck D who recently tweeted some powerful words about Blitz. He's collaborated with pan-African artists from Sean Kuti, to Angelique Kidjo, to Nneka, to many more! Following the release of his highly successful album 'Afropolitan Dreams', the globetrotting MC returns with a new single JuJu Girl and a video which captures his signature mix of of vintage African sounds and Classic Hip-Hop elements. With all the buzz surrounding Blitz's his new work, it came as no surprise that NPR said "Blitz the Ambassador has been gearing up for major glory" and HighSnobiety predicted Blitz to be one of the 20 Hip-Hop Artists to watch in 2015.

 

Watch JuJu Girl Here:  ​"Directed by Blitz himself, the video follows a fedora-wearing man (played by Blitz) and woman in a white dress (played by Yaa Opare) from a dimly lit club to a shared a cab ride, during which the man expresses his affection for her. She doesn’t requite his love, though and gets out, leaving the man to look at a peopled ocean in solitude. Telling a lovelorn story and featuring red-hued cinematography that recalls the great Hong Kong movie In the Mood for Love, the video illustrates the song’s underlying melancholy and stands alone as a poignant short film." - OkayAfrica
