Blitz Mcbain

Blitz McBain, a 19 year-old out of downtown Manhattan, is best known for his multiple flows and creative side. With influences Jay-Z, Prince, and Kanye West, the man is not afraid to spark controversy. He first established a name in the New York hip-hop scene at the age of twelve when he involved himself in the music industry-related work of his uncle. With clever lines and street-ridden beats, Blitz consistently brings something fresh to the game. He focuses primarily on the music aspect of his career. "I have to stay clean," he tells us in a downtown coffee shop. "I'm basing everything on what [my uncle] did wrong. He had an ego problem and a drinking problem. Liver problems prevented him from ever taking the spotlight as a major rapper." The name Blitz, as you may already know, originates from the popular video game NFL Blitz. "When I used to fight, I would come with aggression. That's how I got the name. And it stuck." Blitz is now putting every second he has into his up-and-coming album, Look At Me Now. When asked his favorite song off the album, he replies, "My favorite song is 'Comfort Me'. It takes place in the afterlife and how I think it's gonna' be once I die- like being an angel looking down on the world as somebody dies." Blitz heads his very own crew, the Mcbain Campaign, which consists of his producer, M Stacks and DJ Six. "Working hard is the key," says Blitz. "There are no days off. There is no reason why you shouldn't be working. "There is a lot of money in this business," he follows up, "I'm just trying to put my name on it." But why does Blitz Mcbain rock the Cornerboy theme? "I wasn't a hardcore gangster like most of these rappers claim to be. I was just a dude who played the curb--sure, I hustled, but I mostly watched my environment and started to incorporate what I had seen and been through into my music. It kept me grounded and out of trouble". His hustling has definitely payed off. Blitz has shared the stage with several Dipset artists in New York, including J.R. Writer, and even opened up for platinum R&B recording artist Ne-Yo. Stay tuned for more information on this hot artist on the come up.
