My Take

I'll be honest: when I hear the name Snow, my brain instantly cues up the chorus of "Informer" before I can even picture the man. That's the blessing and the curse of one of the most inescapable hits of 1992, seven weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. I think it's a little unfair that he became shorthand for one-hit-wonder jokes, because the Toronto kid born Darrin O'Brien genuinely earned a Juno for his reggae work. What I find compelling is the toughness underneath the novelty: a Canadian rapper leaning into dancehall when almost nobody around him was. I'd love to know how he feels about that song now.

Darrin Kenneth O'Brien (born October 30, 1969), known by his stage name Snow, is a Canadian rapper and musician. His 1992 single "Informer" spent seven weeks at No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
