Yo, Kardi’s album is gonna be sick…i’ve heard a few tracks and they all have the potential to be big singles…
Check out this Q&A w/ Kardi conducted by my homey Toshi…here’s the intro:
Kardinal Offishall is quite the paradox. He’s been a heavyweight with music industry insiders for years but he remained largely unknown to the masses despite minor hits like “Bakardi Slang” and “Ol’ Time Killin’” from his 2001 debut, Quest for Fire: Firestarter. The Toronto native’s bellowing voice and unique style of spittin’ in English and Jamaican patois made fans of producers he’s worked with like Pharrell and Timbaland, and superstars that tried to ink him like Jay-Z and Akon, whose Konvict Music he eventually signed with. Kardinal was finally catapulted into the spotlight when he dropped the Akon-assisted 2008 summer anthem “Dangerous,” which reached the top five on the Billboard Hot 100. With his sophomore album, Not 4 Sale, about to drop, Rhapsody caught up with Kardinal to talk about what “Dangerous” has meant to his career, the difficulties he faces as a Canadian rapper, and the circumstances under which suing can be ill-advised.
