I believe I heard this song at a party this weekend. Or maybe I dreamt it; my dreams of late have been sprinkled with mediocre white hip-hop (and also with pigeons). Here's "Informer" by Snow, from his hit record 12 Inches Of Snow (sadly, it seriously did sell enough copies to be considered a "hit record"). Best album title of the 90s?

And speaking of Snow, it appears he's poised to release a masterpiece this year. This according to his official Web site, which kindly cautions, "Get ready rude boys and girls cuz there is a blizzard on the way."

And finally, here's another notable Snow quote from the Web:

Snow has never understood the "white rapper" label he's worn all these years.
