Snow – “Informer”
After being charged with two attempted murders, Snow spent a year in Toronto’s East Detention Center maximum-security prison, where he wrote this song. He met MC Shan and recorded the song after coming out. He returned to prison for an eight-month sentence for aggravated assault, and it was during this time that the song received much interest and began to receive airplay.
