Words that rhyme with Blatant
Blatant reads as a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word on the page; phonetically it's two-syllable, anchored on the short /æ/, ending where it lands on a nasal-stop cluster. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. It serves as a word the lyric earns weight from by context in most lyrics. Anyone hunting rhymes for blatant ends up at the same crossroads: the perfect column comes up empty, family rhymes are simply absent, and the slant-by-vowel pool is enormous. Assonance is where the modern songwriting toolkit lives for this one.

Why blatant rhymes the way it does
In our engine, blatant registers as a two-syllable word on the flat /æ/ (/æ/) that lands on a nasal-stop cluster. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 243, assonance 6,601, and consonance 17. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Blatant rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
