Blitz The Ambassador Shares The Lovelorn Music Video For 'JuJu Girl'
Watch the music video for Accra-Brooklyn rapper Blitz The Ambassador's "JuJu Girl," the lead single off his forthcoming 'DIASPORADICAL' LP.
Accra-Brooklyn rapper Blitz the Ambassador recently shared "JuJu Girl," the romantically funky, self-produced lead single from his forthcoming album DIASPORADICAL. Now, the MC's dropping the music video for the afrobeat-inflected tune. Directed by Blitz himself, the video follows a fedora-wearing man (played by Blitz) and woman in a white dress (played by Yaa Opare) from a dimly lit club to a shared a cab ride, during which the man expresses his affection for her. She doesn't requite his love, though and gets out, leaving the man to look at a peopled ocean in solitude. Telling a lovelorn story and featuring red-hued cinematography that recalls the great Hong Kong movie In the Mood for Love, the video illustrates the song's underlying melancholy and stands alone as a poignant short film.
