With a singer/poet and artist for a mother; and a guitarist, singer, producer and writer for a father, it is no surprise that Gary, Indiana-native rapper, producer, and songwriter known as, King Blitz, began his musical voyage at the tender age of 9.
It is also no surprise that, along with the late-great, Michael Jackson, his parents were his biggest musical influence. It is that kind of influence that can have a sovereign, grounding effect on one’s art. We think you’ll agree this is the case with KB.
Previous albums include, Eight Days A Week, and 24 Hrs, both preludes to new work, namely his latest single, Pain, a heartfelt piece of urban prose with highly relatable and contemplative lyrics, a melodic Bruno Mars-esque vocal hook, and a veteran hip-hop flow which shows patient practice has occurred, and work has been put in. Ultimately, in a culture of fast-food hooks and empty-threat trash-talk, King Blitz’s new single, Pain, represents what we hope is a return to substance in the Hip-Hop culture.
