Somehow it seems appropriate that Snow’s favorite hockey player is Bob Probert.
The Canadian rapper and Chicago Blackhawks tough guy have a lot in common: run-ins with the law, alcohol problems and subsequent immigration headaches.
Probert is struggling to revive his career. Snow is determined to keep his on track, starting this week with the release of his second album, Murder Love.
His 1993 debut, 12 Inches of Snow, was a million-seller highlighted by the huge hit Informer.
It hasn’t always been easy for the 25-year-old Toronto native, who uses the liner notes on Murder Love to thank his lawyer and others “for keeping me out of jail.”
And Snow says he hopes to do the same for others, figuring kids may listen to him because he’s been there.
