Video Premiere: Blitz The Ambassador x Seun Kuti ‘Make You No Forget’

By: Alyssa Klein

It was just last week that we first heard “Make You No Forget,” the latest taste off Blitz the Ambassador‘s forthcoming Afropolitan Dreams. On the follow-up drop to Sarkodie collab “Internationally Known” and “Success,” Blitz enlisted the killer brass lines of Seun Kuti for home-pride anthem-making music. The afrobeat-hiplife chune now has an equally high energy video, which we premiere today on Okayafrica. Continuing to reflect on where he comes from, the Ghanaian/New York-based rap laureate looked to Accra as the natural backdrop for the track’s visuals. Blitz nods to his hometown with a particular spotlight on Accra’s BMX “Bikelordz” and amateur boxers. Afropolitan Dreams is due out April 28th via Jakarta Records and features guest appearances from Angélique Kidjo, Nneka, Brazilian hip-hop’s Marcelo D2, French/Malian emcee Oxmo Puccino, Sarkodie, Seun Kuti and more. Until then, catch Blitz in the “Make You No Forget” video below.
