Part 3: • Snow on 'Informer' Bei...
Part 1: • Snow Grew Up in Gangst...
--------
In this clip, Snow opened up about linking up with MC Shan in Queens, which led to Shan finding out that Snow could rap. From there, Snow spoke about recording a host of songs at Shan's house, including "Informer," which they also shot the video for. Snow also spoke about signing a label deal before going back to Toronto, where he was sentenced to a year for an assault charge. While in jail, Snow's "Informer" video dropped, which led to inmates asking for his autograph. To hear more, including Snow speaking about a limo picking him up from jail, hit the above clip.

Meanwhile still singing along anytime Informer came on. Which was alot in the 90s. All that to say now as a 37 year old man. I'm sorry my guy Snow. I was looking at it from an immature kids point of view. I totally respect him Now and appreciate what he did for The Canadian dancehall/Reggae scene. He is a Canadian legend 🙏🏾🙏🏾

I'll never forget this guy - black man - who was desperately trying to get some space on the Canadian air waves from the CRTC [like the FCC in the US] for the Toronto area. He still hasn't succeeded. He was facing alot of institutional prejudice that questioned whether this proposed station format would have a "universal appeal" [nobody asked that of Country 101.5 or whatever]. This guy, in a heartbeat, pulls Snow's name out of his mouth, saying, "this guy is both white and Canadian - I don't really know that much about him but they love him in Jamaica" Snow is legit. He's a bit of cultural unicorn, but he's legit.

I use to come home from school in the 90s and bump the shit out of “girl I’ve been hurt now I need another lover” The track had that heavy baseline.

@@weknowbetter592 lmao since the msg comes from a level of intellect that couldn't tell the difference between knowing _your_ shit, and knowing _you're_ shit, serves as one of those beautifully timed Uno reverse cards that in turn reveals Vtor isn't the one here sparking actually pity and much needed well wishes from onlookers. So on that note... There, there, buddy. You'll catch on one day. Just keep sounding out those vowels and practice spelling those 3 to 5 lettered words. Starting only with the most basic and applied. Then, in maybe eight or ten more years, that fifth grade grammar will come naturally. But the best part of all, you actually WILL "know better". Here's hoping. 🤞

Jamaica used to be filled with pirates for like 200 years I think that’s where they get a lot of their good free living vibes from that attracts a lot of wild free spirited people from other cultures. I.E. like Snow being Irish an growing up drinking and fighting.

When I heard the Daddy Yankee mix and seen Snow in the video I teared up🥲..always loved his track and collabing with one of the best in the Latin music game just made it sweeter, glad DY brought him in it.

I love stories like this, esp. supposed "one hit wonders" who are still enjoying life and feeling blessed. It's a shame that the music industry is so cutthroat, chewing up and spitting out artists because they "don't hear a hit single". Imagine people like Bob Dylan, Elton John or even Bob Marley trying to come up today?

Those are bad examples because the men you listed also have a stage presence that helped overcome the weaker places in their music, like not making sense (Dylan).

I wouldn't say he's a One Hit Wonder per se. He had like 3 or 4 hot songs, although "Informer" was the biggest one.

I'll never forget I was in third grade with my friend Anthony. And he said "there's this new white rapper named snow, he's talking about informer. And he raps Soo fast you don't know what he's saying."This was right after vanilla ice so I was like WTF yeah right. Watched the video at his house on MTV and it was dope.
