Video: Blitz the Ambassador – Best I Can (Live at the Trans Musicales Festival)

Been sleeping on posting stuff on my dude, Blitz for a long time now but be clear: dude is one of the NICEST out, especially live. Blitz is one of the few rappers or any type of artist, for that matter who will entertain you and make a fan out of you even if you’ve never heard any of his songs before. Now that’s a REAL musician.

Peep this video of him live at Trans Musicales in Rennes, France in front of 58,000 concert-goers doing “Best I Can” from his forthcoming new album, Native Sun (dropping April 2011) for a little taste of why I say that.

After the jump, check for details on Blitz’ upcoming shows at SOB’s and Joe’s Pub where he will be performing new tracks from Native Sun for the first time in NYC. BUY TICKETS links follow too….
