Blitz the Ambassador, MTVu House Band series (Trailer and Snippet)

I caught this in an email just before Thanksgiving. I wanted to post it then but was busy catching up with fam and trying to enjoy some much needed downtime. I'm back to it and I'm definitely looking forward to this series. The homie Blitz the Ambassador is dope and I very much enjoy what he brings to music! Check out a brief descrip about the project, the trailer, plus a snippet from one of the tracks recorded! ENJOY!

"Check out this footage of Blitz the Ambassador, from the MTVu House Band series, recorded at Royal Blue Studios in Brooklyn, a completely analog facility run by platinum engineer/producer Robert Honablue (Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix, Sly & the Family Stone, Leonard Bernstein, Aretha Franklin). Blitz recorded five songs during the session with a beefed up, 12-piece version of his Embassy Ensemble and several special guests, including John Forte and Bajah (of the Dry Eye Crew). The recording process was documented over a series of eight videos, which include interviews with Honablue, the special guests, Blitz himself and live footage of the songs "Kill the Radio", "Remembering the Future", "Nothing to Lose", "Dying to Live", and "Something to Believe". The video series will be released in succession after the holiday weekend."
