The real context for "Firestarter Vol. 2: Everyday, Sometimes…" is what didn't happen in 2003. A planned "Firestarter Vol. 2: The F-Word Theory" was shelved when MCA collapsed into Geffen, leaving Kardinal without a label and without a sequel. What survived was "Belly Dancer." What follows now, decades later, is the actual volume two ten tracks built from a different life stage. The tracklist includes "Heavy Is The Head," "40 Acres And A Ferrari" with Black Thought and Stove God Cooks, "All Nighter" with T-Pain and Konshens, "Kiss Me When I" with Glenn Lewis, "Top 3" with Buju Banton and Idris Elba, "My Brother's Keeper (Part 2)" with Nesta, "When You're In Love" with Melanie Fiona, "Bombay Sunsets" with Idris Elba, "Where There's Smoke," and the title track with BJ The Chicago Kid. Jason Drew Harrow, born in Toronto, built his reputation from the city's mid-1990s underground scene. That origin still lives inside every Kardinal record, even when the features carry international weight and the sound reaches far beyond T-Dot. This isn't a comeback album it's a statement from someone who never really left, just got quiet.
