Never let it be said that Kardinal Offishall is just making it up as he goes along. The man's got plans, he's got schemes, there are campaign strategies and a great big war room, complete with a map of the world, and coloured pins to represent every single person who he was won over with his mad rapping skills.

Don't believe me? Well, that's probably a good idea, but it's definitely true that he has a very clear idea of what is expected of an up and coming rap star in this day and age, particularly one who hopes to makes as big a splash as his mentor Akon.

So, if you've ever entertained the thought that you have something to offer in the microphone skills department, it would probably be a good idea to cock an ear to what Kardinal has to say. Luckily, I have interviewed him, just for such an eventuality...

And if you haven't, well there's some information here about his next single, which uses part of 'The Tide Is High', although not the part that Atomic Kitten shoe-horned into the song when they had a bash at it. I wonder why..?
