International recording artiste Daddy Snow has been upping his profile by performing at large-scale hip-hop events in Canada. One of those shows was the Amnesia 15th Year Anniversary Party at Sound Academy in Toronto.

Snow performed alongside Evelyn ‘Champaine’ King, Grand Master Meli Mel, Maestro, Monie Love, Special Ed, Scratch from the legendary roots group, Digital Underground, Greg Nice, Chip Fun, and Lords of the Underground.

“The show was an old-school hip-hop show. The response was crazy when Snow walked out and ripped it up. He still has that energy and everybody was loving the vibe. Snow’s brand of music is very strong internationally,” Juan Diaz, one of the label executives of Bugatti Music Entertainment, which is managing Snow’s career, said.

Two weeks ago, Snow made a surprise cameo during the show dubbed ‘Flow Big Night’, organised by Canada’s first urban contemporary station, Flow 93.5 FM.

“The headliner was Ashanti, and right before she went on, Flow FM brought Snow for a surprise performance, and he ripped it up,” Diaz said. “One of the cool things that happen that night was after Snow performed. Someone from the radio station was telling us how his son has a speech impediment and they are using one of Snow’s songs to treat the kids in therapy. By singing Snow’s song! We’re going to get more info on this kid and we are going to give him a visit.”

Snow“I’m going to entertain for two more years. After that, I’m going to start doing some real goodness, real charity, real helping,” rapper Snow tells Samaritanmag.

Having grown up in Toronto’s Allenbury Gardens housing projects, the 45-year-old always has charity at the back of his mind from helping disadvantaged kids in his old ‘hood to nurturing the artistic potential of inmates, something he wants to do next.

But now he is doing something else that hits close to home.

All of the proceeds from his long-awaited new single “Shame” — featuring reggae legend Mykal Rose (Black Uhuru) and produced by Kent Jones and Cool & Dre — goes to the U.S.-based Karen E. Mumford Cancer Foundation (KEM) in honour of his late wife.

“Tamei passed away five years ago. It just came out of nowhere. We knew for like two weeks,” says Snow, whose real name is Darrin O’Brien.

Tamei Edberg died of uterine cancer just after receiving the terrible news. According to the Canadian Cancer Society, it is the most common cancer of the female reproductive organs but unfortunately in Tamei’s case was diagnosed too late and wasn’t able to be treated.
