What would you say if we told you that the good looking fellow in the Gucci hat is continually mistaken for Akon? And not because they look alike (although both men do share a predilection for dark shades and neon shirts) but because many incorrectly attribute his smash hit, "Dangerous," to the man who signed him.
Sure, that's Akon's voice on the chorus, but the real credit goes to Kardinal Offishall (born Jason Harrow), the dancehall reggae rapper/producer who's been waiting to burst out onto the scene for just over a decade. And by "waiting to burst out," we actually mean collaborating with big-name talent like Lil Wayne, Rihanna and Busta Rhymes, plus winning a Juno award -- the Canadian equivalent of a Grammy -- for Choclair in '00.
And if that wasn't enough, Kardinal Offishall also has the innate rhythm, smooth flow and explosive delivery of Ludacris and an impressive collection of wide-brimmed hats. So check the rest of his exclusive photos and watch the video that brought the so-called "Canadian ambassador of hip-hop" stateside. Then get ready to see a whole lot more of the Ontarian terror, because Kardinal Offishall has officially arrived.
