Often credited as Canada’s “hip hop ambassador”, he is regarded as one of the country’s best hip hop producers, and is best known for his distinctive reggae and dancehall-influenced style of hip hop.

Had the album been released, there would have been production from Timbaland and The Neptunes, among others.

In 2004, Kardinal released an independent mixtape titled Kill Bloodclott Bill with his production company, Black Jays, and he also released his second major-label album titled Fire and Glory on November 15, 2005, through Virgin Records in Canada only.
