Sounds Like: "Cult figure on a steep ascent. Few artists have you in stitches, fewer have you in tears. A unique and glorious performer, he has you in a headlock throughout." Remote Goat // "The Streets meets The Comedy Store." The Mag // "A one man folk-rap army. The least pretentious MC ever!" Don't Stay In //"His lyrics are incredible; he raps; he sings; he improvises but unlike some of his contemporaries he can write original tunes played with skill and ease. He speaks the truth with a dose of reality. This is what music should be about: fusion is the future. Black meets white, genre meets genre, folk and phat, inspiring and pure genius." The Fly // "Clayton Blizzard: one man, an acoustic guitar and a microphone but the exact opposite of Ralph McTell. Bristol’s own Johnny Vegas of hip hop and bastard son of Bill Hicks, Blizzard is Bristol's most politically charged hip hop artist and he's pissed off." Choke // "We have a winner! A Bristol based lord with a sword; it'll stab you in the dance lobe, so beware. Simply put it's the cock-spatch." Egg Magazine // "One of the most endearing one man and his guitar arrangements we've seen for a while. It's hip-hop on an acoustic guitar and is a very personal performance that is sharp and highly appealing." Gigwise.com // "Ultra witty acoustic hip hop and political songs of the people; the original intentions of folk re-incarnated in a modern medium. It’s entertaining, endearing and occasionally uncomfortably on the money." Fact Fans // "Inflected in that West Country slur that seems to often infer some mental incapacity, but this man is plainly quite sharp. Somewhere between the political and societal comment of Chris T T, the pop heart and white boy hip-hop of MC Lars and the questionable humour of Goldie Lookin' Chain." Drowned in Sound // "Bristol based rapper and singer delivering post millennium thoughts over hooky folk guitars; captivating." Music Week
