Biography
Kardinal started rapping at the age of eight, and was winning competitions by the time he was 12. Also at the age of 12, Kardinal performed live and on stage for the first time, with Nelson Mandela in attendance during his first visit to Toronto.[2] By 1993, he decided to drop his alias “KoolAid”, and went by the moniker Kardinal Offishall after being inspired by the great 17th century French politician Cardinal Richelieu.
Kardinal was signed to a publishing deal with Warner/Chappell Music Canada at the age of 20. In 1996, he released his first single “Naughty Dread”, which was featured on the Rap Essentials Volume One compilation and earned him a Juno Award nomination for Best Rap Recording. In 1997, Kardinal released his debut album Eye & I on Capitol Hill Music. The only single from the album, “On Wit Da Show”, had considerable video play on MuchMusic. Kardinal was also credited as a major contributor to the late 90’s renaissance of Canadian hip hop. In 1998, he was featured on the Juno-winning single “Northern Touch” with the Rascalz, Choclair, Checkmate and Thrust.

who said that "canadian hip-hop ambassador" stuff ? that must be a joke :D have a look at those Battle Axe dudes (swollen members, sweatshop union...) and you'll see how great and powerful Canada really is when it comes to hip-hop. how can an artist be similar to Rascalz and Flo'rida at the same time ? come on !!!

Body Bounce is decent. He needs to start rapping like Fire & Glory again. Not 4 Sale was mediocre, whereas his old shit's a lot better.
