“I just woke up and came here and now it starts now and we’ll see what we’re gonna get into tonight.”Īs it turns out, the friendly, self-effacing Toronto sorta-rapper/sorta-singer born Darrin Kenneth O’Brien 49 years ago and responsible for the indelible 1992 sorta-reggae smash “Informer” is as casual with his time as he has been with the pop career unexpectedly hatched by that same tune all those years ago - a pop career that has been abruptly re-hatched (again) in recent weeks by the explosive success of Daddy Yankee’s new single “ Con Calma.”Ī reggaeton earworm built explicitly upon “Informer” and featuring a guest verse by Snow himself, “Con Calma” has put the Canadian sorta-dancehall MC back on the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time since “ Girl, I’ve Been Hurt” reached No. I just woke up,” he laughs, once a couple of pals and the two-man video crew that was shooting the Star photographer shooting Snow when I turned up leave us alone in the control room and the apology is extended again. It’s a bit more of a haul than expected, via transit and feet, to the studio on the neglected, lower-western industrial fringes of North York where Snow - yes, that Snow - is holed up on a recent Friday night, so this conscientious music writer feels apologies are in order for intruding at the end of what must have been a long and tiring day of recording.
