Capone-N-Noreaga (C-N-N for short) is an East Coast hip hop duo that consists of Capone (Kiam Holley) and Noreaga (Victor Santiago). The two grew up in the housing projects of Queensbridge and Lefrak City (both in Queens, New York), and met each other in jail in 1992 while doing kitchen duty. C-N-N has been considered one of the most thugging rap groups ever. Not only because they rap about it, but because they live it. In 1996 they signed to “Penalty Records” in a deal with “25 to Life” records (Tragedy Khadafi’s label). They were also featured as “Unsigned Hype” in The Source magazine. In 1997, C-N-N released their debut trend-setting album, The War Report. With exquisitely dark tracks crafted by Lord Finesse, Havoc (of Mobb Deep), Clark Kent, and a number of other acclaimed producers, The War Report became an instant classic. The unique chemistry of Noreaga’s unorthodox lyrcal delivery combined with Capone’s street-wise slang, established the duo as a household name within the Hardcore hip hop community.
After Capone returned home in 1999 the group then released The Reunion featuring the single “Ya’ll Don’t Wanna”. The album struggled to go gold, due to the lack of promotion from Tommy Boy Records...
