KARDINAL OFFISHALL MAKES HISTORY WITH THE BRAND NEW SINGLE " THE ANTHEM"

Harrow was born in Scarborough, Ontario,[6][7] in Toronto's east end, and raised by Jamaican immigrant parents. He later settled in the Oakwood-Vaughan neighbourhood of York, in Toronto's west end.[8][9] He started rapping at the age of eight and was winning competitions by the time he was 12. Also at the age of 12, he performed live and on stage for the first time, with Nelson Mandela in attendance during Mandela's first visit to Toronto.[10] By 1993, he decided to change his alias "KoolAid", and went by the moniker "Kardinal Offishall" after being inspired by the great 17th century French politician Cardinal Richelieu.[11]

Kardinal was signed to a publishing deal with Warner/Chappell Music Canada at the age of 20.[citation needed] 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. In 1998, he was featured on the Juno-winning single "Northern Touch" with the Rascalz, Choclair, Checkmate and Thrust.

In 2000, Kardinal signed with MCA Records. He released the album Quest for Fire: Firestarter, Vol. 1 in 2001, which spawned the hits "BaKardi Slang" and "Ol' Time Killin'". After MCA folded in 2003, Kardinal's highly anticipated follow up album Firestarter Vol. 2: F Word Theory was shelved along with the single/video for "Belly Dancer" featuring Pharrell, and Kardinal eventually found himself without a label. Had the album been released, there would have been production from Timbaland and The Neptunes, among others. He released an independent mixtape titled Kill Bloodclott Bill in 2004 with his production company, The Black Jays, and he also released his second major-label album titled Fire and Glory on November 15, 2005, through Virgin Records in Canada only. Hits on Fire and Glory include "Everyday (Rudebwoy)" and "Heads Up". Also in 2000, Kardinal Offishall teamed up with Maestro Fresh Wes for the hit "Bustin Loose" featured on Maestro's album Ever Since.

In 2007, Akon signed Kardinal Offishall to his label Konvict Muzik and Kon Live Distribution. Kardinal Offishall released an album under the album Not 4 Sale. It spawned the hit single "Dangerous", which peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100.

In 2009, Kardinal performed as the main act for Denison University, and on September 3rd at the CNE in Toronto.

In 2010, he was included in the Young Artists for Haiti's version of "Wavin' Flag" in an effort to raise money for disaster relief. He starred along with many Canadian stars. Also in 2010, he was featured in Raghav single release "So Much".

On friday October 29th 2010 Toronto Hit Radio Station Flow 93.5 and Kardinal premiered his brand new single " The Anthem" To listen to the single visit http://iamlinx.com and also the single will be available for purchase on Itunes.

Featured Artist Of the Month : Kim Davis

Toronto native and versatile soul sensation, Kim Davis has spent years toiling and perfecting her musical craft. She has opened up for famed artists like Alicia Keys, Carl Thomas, John Legend, Neyo, Melanie Fiona, Robin Thicke and Flo-Rida to name a few. Her hard work and perseverance in the cut-throat music industry continue to prove worthwhile. 2010 marks the beginning of an influx of new fans and even more recognition nationwide. Davis was recently nominated for a prestigious Juno Award in the category of Best Reggae recording for the hit single, “Show Me The Way”. She is also nominated, for the third time, for a DJ Stylus Award (R&B artist of the year) and three WBLK Unsigned Hype awards –which she already holds 2 awards for – (People's Choice Award, R&B Artist of the year and Single of the year)

The leggy R&B singer/ songwriter is the 1 unsigned R&B artist on Myspace Canada and the only female artist on the site with over 1 million music plays. If you live in Toronto, and you don’t happen to live under a rock, you’ve heard of Kim Davis. If you live in America it won’t be long before that statement applies to you.

Kim was raised amidst adversity and forced to rise above tragedy. She has been described by the media as a talent “who has the love, courage and the lyrics to pen a woman’s evolution; beautifully.” In return Davis accepts that challenge and dares to exceed it. Her music speaks to trial, tribulation and triumph that almost anyone can relate to.

“I am a woman capable of many things,” says Davis steadily. “God has blessed me with a gift that I believe I am destined to share.”

Sharing is precisely what Davis has done. Without the release of an album, Kim has garnered much attention. She has been featured in national Canadian magazines such as Cream World, Exposé, Peace, Polysh and Sway and has received international print coverage in Fader Magazine, The Ave Magazine, Urban Voice, Hip Hop Japan and more. Kim has also started to touch the silver lining of the press industry by being featured in major Canadian newsprint including the Toronto Sun, and the National Post. She is recognized widely as an artist that supports community efforts and charitable endeavours. Her affiliation with Dr.Roz’s healing place, a local women’s shelter, remains a priority. She always makes herself available to promote empowerment, strength and success through her music and motivational speaking.

Much of Kim’s success can be attributed to her approachability since her fans have the unique privilege of wholly relating to her on every conceivable level just by pressing play. Not since the likes of Mary J. Blige has any female artist been so forthcoming and refreshingly honest.

So what happens when you mix divine talent with music that is both candid and emotionally fearless? Kim Davis!
