New TrackstheneedledropComment

Brooklyn-based hip hop artist Blitz the Ambassador has a new album out called Afropolitan Dreams that you should absolutely check out if you like your rap with a world music zest. The record is out now via Berlin's Jakarta Records, and its 12 tracks boast a mix of afro-beat, jazz, and highlife sounds that is sure to satisfy lovers of worldbeat. Enjoy!

If you dig this, I direct you to his sophomore full-length Native Sun, as well.

M.anifest- "Suffer"

VideosadminComment

A really uplifting video from Minneapolis rapper M.anifest. The Ghanian native has a new album coming out this year titled Coming to America: Immigrant Chronicles.

Admittedly, he's not bringing anything revolutionary to the table, but M.anifest embodies all of what makes hip hop great: Good beats and poetry with a personal perspective.
