Old skool multi-platinum rapper, Snow has been signed to Virgin Music Canada for a worldwide recording contract. The first record will be released sometime in October, and abroad in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and France with the rest of Europe receiving it later in the spring of 2001.

The first single from Snow is titled, ‘Everybody Wants To Be Like You’ from the untitled record and already has label executives very excited. General manager of Virgin Music Canada, Bill Banham said that he’s very pleased to have Snow on their label where he can be his ‘creative self’ and show off his talent.

Deane Cameron, president of EMI Music Canada said that Snow is developing into a great songwriter and has a very exciting future. Snow had one successful album, 12 Inches of Snow, which was released in 1992 and sold over six million copies worldwide based on the success of ‘Informer.’

That song spent seven weeks at the number spot on Billboard charts. The follow-up album, Murder Love didn’t fare so well.

The Canadian rapper is also co-starring in a film produced by Robert DeNiro entitled Prison Song. The film will also star Q-Tip, Mary J. Blige, Fat Joe and Elvis Costello and is set to be released in the spring of 2001.
