An artist and cultural tastemaker in his own right, Kardinal Offishall is also Global A&R lead at iconic New York-based hip-hop label Def Jam, where he shapes the global sound of hip-hop. He’s a recognizable figure both behind the scenes and publicly as a judge on Canada’s Got Talent alongside stars like Howie Mandel and Shania Twain, he's also returning to recording with his upcoming EP Everyday, Sometimes. “Lately, I’ve been surrounded by a powerful mix of new artists who feel deeply and create fearlessly, and many icons who continue to uphold a certain standard…that energy was the perfect storm for me," he said recently, while releasing his new song "Let Em Out." It's part of an enviable career that spans the studio to the boardroom.
