Song |
"The Blast" is a hip hop single from Reflection Eternal's only album, Train of Thought. It features rapping from the duo's emcee, Talib Kweli, as well as from its producer, DJ Hi-Tek. It is the only Reflection Eternal song that Hi-Tek raps on, but like all Reflection Eternal songs, he produces it. The song has a somber and jazzy beat backed by vocals from Vinia Mojica. It has a music video in which Kweli and Hi-Tek are rapping in a rainstorm. The music video version is extended in length, and gives Talib Kweli an extra verse.
On the album version of "The Blast," a Dave Chappelle performs his Nelson Mandela impression before the actual song. In the skit, "Mandela" gives a shout out to Kweli and Hi-Tek. The skit reads: "This is Nelson Mandela. I represent Johannesburg, South Africa. When I am in Africa chilling out, I listen to Talib Kweli and DJ Hi Tek, Reflection Eternal."
