Kardinal Offishall Drops New Single “Where There’s Smoke”

Canadian hip-hop pioneer Kardinal Offishall is back, and he brought heavy artillery with his latest single, “Where There’s Smoke”.

Long before Toronto became the global powerhouse it is today, Kardi was laying down the groundwork. As the first Canadian rapper to hit the top of the Billboard Hot 100, the legendary MC has spent decades cementing his legacy as both an elite lyricist and a pillar of the international music community. With “Where There’s Smoke,” he proves he hasn’t lost an ounce of his edge.
