Karl Wolf

Karl Wolf has been around for quite some time now, but this artist has not been given his share of airplay  here in the Philippines at least for now.

His song “Ghetto Love” had just recently entered local radio station charts, when in fact it’s been around for some time.

Karl is a Lebanese-Canadian Pop/HipHop artist who started his career in 2001. He’s had three albums and an upcoming CD to be released next year.

Ghetto Love was released on May this year featuring rapper Kardinall Offishall. Wolf released another version of the single without the rap. The song sampled a Peter Cetera original titled “Glory Of Love”.

This is not the first time that Karl released a song sampled from an 80s ballad. In 2008, he released the single “Africa” with hooks from “Africa” by Toto.
