Snow and SueSnow and Sue from the Daily Bread Food Bank.On November 7th, Daily Bread Food Bank’s advertising partner Lowe RMP held the Direct Marketers’ Other Ball. The industry event requested that all those attending the event make a donation at the door for the food bank.

The evening was headlined by rap artist Snow and hosted by Master T. The Revival crowd was kept on its feet with Milk DJs Felix and Gani.

Peter Coish, President of Lowe RMP describes the event: ‘just 600 or so people chilling out and enjoying each other’s company. The room was packed (and very, very hot) as Snow took the stage. His first outing this fall to promote his new album ‘Two Hands Clapping’, he showed no signs of rustiness. For almost 90 minutes he kept the crowd on their feet.’

Justuss & SnowJustuss and Snow sing together.During a recent performance at the second annual KISS 92.5 Fan’s Choice Awards, Canadian artist Snow was joined by a very special guest. Justuss, his seven-year-old daughter, appeared onstage and chimed in with her dad on his new single, ‘Legal’. The father-daughter duet was a hit among the young audience, even if one of them did steal the show.

‘She got a bigger response than I did,’ Snow admits. ‘When I got off the stage, people were like, ‘Good job!’ to her and they didn’t say nothing to me and I got all jealous and stuff. It was beautiful.’

Snow certainly loves to sleep, most people are sitting down for dinner when he’s just waking up.

‘When you’re sleeping, that’s when the gods visit you,’ says the Toronto rapper/singer. ‘You’re only your true self when you’re dreaming. This (pointing at himself) is just a shell.’

On the eve of the release of his latest album ‘Two Hands Clapping’ last week, Snow, a.k.a. Darrin O’Brien, dreamt of playing and running with tornadoes.

Over the past week, he has been dragged from bed to promote the album, which he describes as ‘a nice mixture of reggae and funk and hip-hop.’

He doesn’t claim to be original — he admits to taking from many different kinds of music, but says he creates his own style with it. With eight producers named the album, including his 7-year-old daughter, Justuss, its no wonder his music is a mesh of different hip-hop and reggae flavours.
