In need of the name of a rapper

#1 09-08-2005, 01:06 AM

I've been trying to discover the name of a rapper whose music I had heard in the 90's, to no avail. I have practically no info to go on, not even a lyric or song title, but he's got a very unique voice, and sounds almost Jamaican. He got some decent radio time if I remember, so he's not super-obscure. It's not Busta Rhymes. Any ideas?

Ummm....like Chaka Demus and Pliers?

Are you thinking of the lyrical gangsta himself, Ini Kamoze?

Please don't tell me you're looking for Snow.

These are better guesses than Chaka Demus and Pliers

Pras and Wyclef Jean are two other possiblites.

Not Kamoze, not Wyclef, not Chaka Demus, not Jeru, and um, not Bushwick Bill. Good suggestions, thanks. I actually surfed for Snow, but found no samples. This guy's voice is loud and energetic, and if I remember right, the music is dance-worthy beat-wise. Very weird, rough voice, not like someo of these examples, which are softer. Thanks
