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.

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 used to get mistaken as him at clubs back in the day, we come from similar backgrounds and I'd grab the mic on mic nights and spit some bars rap style not raggaeton came close to some exposure but went on a different path. But I remember also being in jail in quelph when informer came out and still into this tune today!

It's really unfortunate that having attempted murder chargers is being "real" in today's society. I know this comment was posted a long time ago and I'm not hating on what you said. I would probably have thought something similar. Its just sad how much everything is so warped today and what we glorify.

@@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.

We were proud to have a Canadian at that level. Wonder if he's still living on tge Island here near me now? Lol funny if you make it in Canada from back east you end up on Vancouver Island. I hope I run into him kicking around, that's be awesome... he seems like a solid dude.
