Snow was born and raised in the North York district of Toronto. For much of his childhood, he lived in the Allenbury Gardens housing projects, and at the age of 16 moved to Ajax, Ontario.
Snow was discovered by a Jamaican-born DJ named Marvin Prince, while living in Ajax. The name Snow, a backronym for "Super Notorious Outrageous Whiteboy", was given to him by Marvin Prince. Prince took Snow to New York City and introduced him to MC Shan, who introduced them both to producer David Kenneth Eng and Steve Salem. Snow eventually signed a contract to record on their Motorjam/Elektra record label. His 1993 debut album was 12 Inches of Snow. MC Shan and Marvin Prince produced the entire album while Snow was imprisoned for a year on an assault charge.
Upon his release from prison, Snow's first single "Informer," written by Marvin Prince, became a chart topping hit. The album sold over 8 million records worldwide, with the single from the album "Informer" remaining #1 on the American Billboard charts for seven consecutive weeks. "Informer" has been recorded twice in the Guinness Book of World Records as the best selling reggae single in U.S. history, as well as the highest charting reggae single in history. A second single, "Girl I've Been Hurt", reached #19 on the Hot 100.
In 1995, Marvin Prince departed from Snow, and MC Shan worked on Snow's second album, Murder Love, which also featured production work by Junior Reid, Hurby "LuvBug" Azor, and others, as well as guest appearances by Junior Reid, Ninjaman, Half Pint and others.
Snow also performed a version of "Moon Over Parma" as the theme song for later episodes of The Drew Carey Show starting in 2002.
Although Snow's subsequent albums performed poorly after Marvin Prince's departure, except in Japan and Jamaica, he returned to the Canadian pop charts in 2000 with "Everybody Wants to Be Like You", and again in 2002 with "Legal", and worked on a new album with Red Zone and Trackmasters in 2007.
In 2009 Snow released a new single entitled "Adore You."
Nominated for nine Juno Awards, his one win was in 1994, the Best Reggae Recording for "Informer"

Последний альбом от известного хипхопера оказался вовсе не хипхоповым.
На этом альбоме практически отсутствуют традиционные для него читки, здесь Кэни поет. Новая пластинка наполнена скорбью и тоской. Таким образом вы получаете в свое распоряжение двенадцать эмоциональных треков в стиле минимал/поп/рнб. Для меня это однозначно один из лучших релизов 2008 года. Не пропустите

Ингридиенты: ((с)пи**ено.) Тут есть песня с припевом «еба-еба-еба», есть забористо-пошлые девки, есть вполне рафинированный синти-поп, есть диско-мариачи в стилистике «и твою маму тоже», есть грязные танцы в духе похабных мексиканских рисунков Сергея Эйзенштейна, есть гениальная группа Plastilina Mosh, есть просто бодрый бред — одним словом, текила-бум-бум.
Слушать с друзьями, лучше дома. Лучше громко.
Текила в комплект не входит.

В принципе такие альбомы имхо подводят некую черту, и могут означать несколько вариантов, среди которых "я устала и у меня творческий кризис", "я хочу показать своих кумиров" или "я готовлюсь уйти со сцены", может я и ошибаюсь конечно.
Итак о музыке - каверы достаточно приличные - и оригинал узнаётся и не "перепето другим голосом", томный вокал - фирменная фишка Кассандры - никуда не делся, всё так же приятно вещает из устройств звукоизвлечения.
