Native Sun • A short film by Blitz the Ambassador & Terence Nance from MVMT on Vimeo.

The short film corresponding to Blitz the Ambassador‘s Native Sun LP is now viewable here online and no disrespect, Yeezy? But in the category of “Short Films Produced By Rappers” I’m not sure all of your lights can compete with this African boy saga. All other rap video directors: you are so fired. Film by Blitz the Ambassador and Terence Nance, photography by Shawn Peters.

All Afro-everything renaissance man Blitz the Ambassador drops his new LP Native Sun today and in case the full streaming version with video montage wasn’t enough to sell it, he dropped this video too! (Sidebar: what a difference a plane ticket makes. Based on this and the Baloji joints, I don’t care if you are from Yonkers–from now on ALL rappers should shoot their videos in Africa.) It makes sense though, cause this song seems like kind of a mission statement for the ambitious goals Blitz set for himself with Native Sun–doing the whole damn diaspora proud–and it does not disappoint.

Native Sun, the upcoming highlife meets conscious rap meets afrobeat meets everything magnum opus from Blitz the Ambassador is now streaming in its entirety online here at soulROCKS Click to listen
