Blitz the Ambassador grew up in Accra, Ghana where he was introduced to hip hop at a young age.

While at Kent State University he self-released his first album. After moving to New York he started work on Stereotype, a hip hop album with live instrumentation, drawing inspiration from different genres. The album came out on his own label, Embassy MVMT.
