Band Members: NEW FLASH OF BLITS THA GOD.. " ..TWENTY-year-old Blits, a.k.a. Kareme Parks, was born in Bronx, New York – the birthplace of Hip-Hop. After spending several years of his childhood in the States, Blits and his mother hoped to find a better life in Canada. Shortly after arriving in Toronto, ON, they found out that life seemed easier, but were not aware of the many challenges that were soon to come. While moving from ghetto to ghetto, the situations that occurred in his life sharpened his perspective on the harsh realities of ghetto life. Seeing his family grow and live in poverty also fueled his desire to make something of himself.Inspired by artists such as Kriss-Kross, the Wu-Tang Clan, and his favorite rap artist Nas, Blits decided to take rap into his arms. Dealing with problem after problem helped Blits realize that there’s more than just a linear style of rap, so he put his life into his work. Freestyle battles sharpened his skills, and Blits’ name began to spread on the streets of Toronto. At the age of 15, Blits realized his dream of becoming a major artist could become a reality.Gathering the members himself, Blits alongside Tony Treacherous (Young Tony), Tony Teknical (Tek), and his ex-best friend, Trigga formed their first group called “The Illest Crew.” Eventually, the group’s members grew apart and started their own paths to the same dream. At the age of 17, Blits formed another group called “Deadline”, whose tracks circulated the Internet, but they did not last because of creative differences. Determined to fulfill his dreams, Blits continued to network, record, and collaborate with up and coming artists in Toronto. He found himself featured in a video, “Live in Parma Court” (www.blitsworld.com), which made a lot of noise around the city. Blits appeared on the Deep Pockets mixtape, “Back to the Streets”, and was featured on the track “Sweat”, which was played in clubs during the summer of 2004. Blits then rocked the hook of “East Meets West” on Aritso’s mixtape, “Trials of a Hustler” which received heavy airplay on 89.5’s “Project Bounce”. Being an artist of many talents, Blits also dabbled in acting and attended the Humber College for theatrical arts.Destined to play a major role in the entertainment industry, Blits turned the negativity around him into more positive energy. In his words “People who put you down will give you strength in the future.”
