For the last few weeks the UK has been abuzz with the release of the mesmerizing single Style Changer from Eric Turner featuring Kardinal Offishall, Wretch32 and Professor Green. The iSHi and Charlie Bernardo produced track has been paired with equally haunting visuals.
Kardinal has made a career of shutting down shows across the globe. You’ll be hard pressed to find a harder working showman now that the late greats James Brown and MJ have left us. Watch the full story and get a glimpse into what pushes Kardi so hard to deliver his brand of magic to his fans every time he hits the stage.
He’s back at it again! In this, his 13th instalment, Kardinal is throwing his 13th Annual Christmas Party Thursday December 22, 2011 at Crown Lounge with his celebrity friends and All-Star DJ lineup. In the spirit of Christmas all net proceeds will be donated to Family Centered Care Programs in Hematology Oncology at Sick Kids Hospital.
World Vision President, Dave Toycen, and Kardinal visited the CBC Studios to appear on the George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight Show. The pair conducted an interview together to speak about what they saw on their recent trip to Kenya. The interview airs on CBC on Wednesday November 30, 2011 at 11:05 PM.
Kardinal traveled to Kenya with World Vision Canada President Dave Toycen and etalk to bring some attention to the plight of the people suffering through one of Africa’s worst droughts in the last 30 years. The life changing trip gave Kardinal the opportunity to see exactly where World Vision dollars go to, and ask the recipients of the aid how the help was affecting them directly. etalk will be airing exclusive footage of the trip starting November 14th.
September in Toronto is star studded because Hollywood descends on the T dot as The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) has become arguably the most important film festival in the world. Star power and charitable events go hand in hand. Kardinal lends his time and support to worthy causes that he feels passionate about. There are 3 events for 3 different worth while causes that Kardi will be supporting in September.
In this edition of Say What? we look at Ol Time Killin Part 2 (Anywhere). This song is in the vein of the Kardinal classic, Ol Time Killin. His melding of hip hop and dancehall reggae is one of the unique features that makes Kardinal so unique and recognizable. Ol Time Killin Part 2 reconnects Kardinal fans to the reason they became fans in the first place.
FLOW 93.5 had its inagural Summer Jam July 15th, 2011 and decided to make things right and have the showman’s showman close things off. Kardinal gave it his all in the shortened set. With his extensive catalogue, Kardinal could perform for hours, but he was limited to a 30 min set. Ever the crowd pleaser, he ended up performing for almost an hour. Curfew be damned!
After much anticipation Kardinal premiered Ol Time Killin Part 2 (Anywhere) on FLOW 93.5 July 15, 2011. Later that evening he performed it live for the first time in front of a raukus hometown crowd.
CBC has earned even more cool points! If their Hip Hop Summit earlier this year didn’t do it, the documentary Love, Props and the T Dot certifies the crown corporation’s shift in the right direction. Love, Props and the T Dot is a factual look at the origins and originators of the Canadian hip hop scene to present day. Interviews, rare footage and clips from the afore mentioned CBC Hip Hop Summit are woven together to tell a powerful story about the birth of a fledgling underground movement.
