Snow feat. Lil Kim - Girl I've Been Hurt (BIGR Extended Mix)

Darrin O'Brien (born October 30, 1969), better known by his stage name Snow, is a Canadian reggae musician. He is best known for his 1993 single "Informer", which reached No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.[1]

Snow was born and raised in the North York district of Toronto, Ontario. For much of his childhood, he lived in the Allenbury Gardens housing projects, and at the age of 16 moved to Ajax, Ontario.[citation needed]

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.[citation needed]

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 number 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 Number 19 on the Hot 100.[citation needed]

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.[citation needed]

Although Snow's subsequent albums performed poorly (except in Japan and Jamaica) after Marvin Prince's departure, 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.[citation needed]

Nominated for nine Juno Awards, his one win was in 1994, the Best Reggae Recording for "Informer".[2]


Snow (* 30. Oktober 1968 in Toronto als Darrin O'Brien) ist ein in den 1990ern bekannt gewordener kanadischer Rapper. Mit seinem erfolgreichsten Song Informer erreichte er unter anderem in den USA und in Deutschland den ersten Platz in den Charts. Informer ist mit 8 Millionen verkauften Stück eine der erfolgreichsten Ragga-Singles aller Zeiten.

O'Brien wuchs in einem größtenteils irisch-kanadisch geprägten Viertel Torontos auf. Die ersten Platten, die er hörte, waren von KISS, Ozzy Osbourne, Queen und The Police aus der Sammlung seiner Mutter. In seiner Jugend zogen zunehmend jamaikanische Einwanderer in die Gegend, durch die er mit Reggae-, Dub- und Dancehall-Platten in Berührung kam. Er selbst gewöhnte sich unter seinen damaligen Freunden und unter dem Einfluss der Musik das Patois, das jamaikanische Englisch, an.

In dieser Zeit geriet er permanent in Konflikte mit der Polizei. Er wurde unter fragwürdigen Umständen eines Mordes angeklagt und freigesprochen diese Geschichte greift er in Informer auf. Während er sich auf Bewährung befand, entdeckte ihn MC Shan in New York City und produzierte mit ihm seine erste Maxi-Single.

Snow wurde kurz nach der Aufnahme seines ersten Albums wegen Körperverletzung (Assault) verurteilt. Er erlebte die Veröffentlichung und den Erfolg von Informer im Gefängnis. Nach acht Monaten kam er wieder aus dem Gefängnis, verließ Nordamerika und reiste längere Zeit durch Europa. Sein nächstes Album war Two Hands Clapping, welches am 19. November 2002 publiziert wurde (vom Label : Virgin Music Canada - Producer Laney Stewart, Brent Setterington ). Erst seit Ende 2004 darf er die USA wieder betreten
