美国出产、最引以为傲的嘻哈/饶舌派系很少能让外人轻易攻破，出道已经超过十年的Kardinal Offishall，来自加拿大安大略省，是少数成功赢得美国重量级艺人赏识的外籍兵团，接连替Jay-Z、Busta Rhymes、Rihanna、Lil' Wayne、T-Pain、Sean Paul…等明星助阵，更是被纽约时报誉为“塞内加尔传奇”的Akon/阿肯自创厂牌Kon Live旗下的主推战将。

本名Jason Harrow的Kardinal Offishall，由牙买加移民的父母一手带大，9岁即展现出饶舌天赋，12岁赢得才艺比赛后，有机会登上舞台大秀技能，台下甚至坐了南非前总统曼德拉！20岁时在华纳唱片集团下发行之“Rap Essentials Volume One”合辑中暖身献唱"Naughty Dread"，入围加拿大朱诺奖“最佳饶舌录音”提名，1997年却于Capitol Hill Music独立厂发行处女之航‘Eye & I’。2000年转投效MCA Records推出‘Quest For Fire: Firestarter, Vol. 1’，夺下金唱片销售。相距四年光阴，再获EMI/Virgin国际品牌肯定，出版Kardinal久违大作‘Fire And Glory’，并开始担任其他艺人的幕后制作操手，更让美国群星注意到这位才子的深厚功力。

每次出辑都在不同唱片公司的Kardinal，这回选择Kon Live/Geffen Records作为全新栖息地，同时带来【Not 4 Sale】大碟，空降美国饶舌榜Top7+节奏蓝调/嘻哈榜Top10+流行榜Top40+加拿大Top8位置。第一主打"Dangerous"请到伯乐Akon助阵，融入大量粗颗粒电子能量迴盪于嘻哈架构中，是支相当勾引人的火热之作，登上流行榜Top5+饶舌榜Top6+加拿大亚军；蕾哈娜的"Umbrella"、玛丽亚凯莉的"Touch My Body"原创人The Dream，特别量身订作并参与演唱之"Gimme Some"，佈满诱发随乐摇摆的慾望；性感小娜妹Rihanna用她甜美嗓音将"Numba 1 (Tide Is High)"调配的呛烧无比，将Kardinal的雷鬼饶舌调调展露无遗，翻玩经典名曲"The Tide Is High"，点燃Reggaeton风潮的狂野气流；群星们最爱的合作对象T-Pain，特地前来替"Go Home With You"拉升派对高潮；动听满点的中板小品"Due Me a Favour"，邀来两年内拿下五座葛莱美加冕的John Legend自创厂牌Homeschool Records旗下力捧英国优质女声Estelle帮腔和声。
