Information:
When it comes to Indian MC’s, one
name stands above the rest, Blitzkrieg.
Many find the name Blitzkrieg confusing or difficult to
pronounce. However, Blitz views it as a living tribute
to his friend Robby (whom chose the MC’s name). In 2003
Robby was the unfortunate victim of a triple homicide in
Blitz’s hometown of Toronto. Blitz carries the name as a
badge of honour and in memory of his lost friend.
The old saying “music speaks for itself” truly applies
to Blitz. Without any money, connections, or record deal
this artist has toured the world promoting his music,
and gaining an aggressive street buzz through his
vicious punch lines / intellectual lyrics.
UK fans were first introduced to Blitz in 2001 when his
music was featured on Punjabi Mc’s online radio show “60
Minutes of Desi”. Since than, Blitzkrieg has received
critical acclaim from the likes of Marky Mark (Head of
Music BBC Asian Network), Adil Ray, Bobby Friction &
Nihal (Radio 1), and many others.
On the strength of his own talent, Blitz has
collaborated with artists such as: Mentor Kolektiv,
Tigerstyle, Bikram Singh, Punjabi Hit Squad, and Sona
Family. His continuous grind and work ethic has resulted
in performances at Glastonbury (2005), various mela’s,
Sunkissed festival, Project Puerto Rico, as well as
international licensing agreements with Universal Music
and Times Music India.
Blitzkrieg’s debut album “The Rhyme Book” will be
launching through VIP Records / Soldier Sound Recordings
in October 2007. The album focuses on diversity
providing something for every listener.
Features include: Tigerstyle, Mentor, Bikram Singh,
Gunjan, Des-C, Roach Killa, Saq, Gurbax Shonki,
Hollywood Harv, Bob Mann, Nikkita, & Dacoz.
The cutting edge video featuring Gunjan, Bikram Singh,
and Roach Killa was directed by Jazz Virk (director of
Jazzy B’s “Romeo” video) and will set a new standard for
Asian music videos.
