Editor's note

Kardinall Offishall's Toronto hip-hop and Caribbean fusion

A Scarborough rapper who mixed hip-hop with Caribbean sounds across albums like 'Not 4 Sale'.

For his vibe, check 'Ghetto Love' with Karl Wolf. 'Dangerous' is the one that really stuck around.

He put Toronto on the map with a sound that felt both local and global. The track 'Dangerous' from 'Not 4 Sale' hit number one in Canada for weeks. Songs like 'Ghetto Love' and 'Teaser' showed he could slide between styles without losing his edge.

He started as a teenager in Scarborough, dropping his debut 'Eye & I' in 1997. After 'Quest for Fire: Firestarter, Vol. 1' in 2001, 'Not 4 Sale' in 2008 brought his biggest hit. He kept going with 'Firestarter Vol. 2' in 2012 and 'Kardi Noir' in 2016.
