Informer by Snow Song Info
"Informer" was the lone hit single for Canadian reggae artist Snow. It was one of many songs that helped popularize the reggae sound in popular music during the 90s, along with other hits by artists like Diana King, Shabba Ranks, and Shaggy. The lyrics are delivered with a heavy patois that make them "unintelligible" to standard English speakers, to the point the song was parodied by Jim Carrey on In Living Color. Still, the single was very popular and remains a staple of 90's nostalgia. At the time of release, many listeners were surprised to find out the singer was a white man from Canada, but the city of Toronto (where Snow hails from) has a large Jamaican diaspora population.
