►The debut of this mixtape was the spark of a new style of African based sonics and a new movement into the realm of afrobeat. "Its about the progression of the dance". There is no sonic comparison to these mixes. There are so many elements fused between the notes. This release signifies the next step in the evolution. As the groove continues, watch this space, and bring a change of clothes.
►The LunchBox Theory crew seems to be well in control of their creative destiny and critical of the colonial mentality that pervades radio and record companies. Music is deeper than philosophy. In the end, we don't have a language or linguistic eloquence that is truthful to describe the short time we are here on earth. Therefore we need sounds that get to the deeper truths of who we are as humans.
►All new tunes, all new furniture!

Introducting Blitz the Ambassador…
Some artists stretch the boundaries of musical genres, while others completely break the mold. To anyone who has heard Blitz the Ambassador’s musical arrangements and unique lyrical perspective, he clearly represents the later. The leader of a new musical movement, blending distinctly African sounds, such as Highlife and Afrobeat, with the boom-bap of classic Hip Hop, Blitz the Ambassador is not only transforming the musical landscape, he’s also bringing a new voice to the world.
Born and raised in Accra, Ghana, Blitz the Ambassador grew up around diverse sounds, from Jazz, to Motown, to Highlife. But when his older brother introduced him to Public Enemy’s classic album, It Takes A Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back, as a young boy, his perspective changed forever. “I had never heard young Black people express themselves in that way before,” recalls Blitz.
A producer, composer, percussionist, visual artist, and lyricist, Blitz truly stretches the definition of the word artist. With his brass heavy band, The Embassy Ensemble, providing the unmistakable sonic backbone, Blitz has begun to make his case as one of the most talented artists of our time.
