N.O.R.E.
All Music Guide
One-half of the Queens hardcore rap duo Capone-N-Noreaga, Victor Noreaga Santiago met Kiam Capone Holley in 1992 while both were serving prison sentences. Signed to Penalty Records in 1996, the pair released a hard-hitting debut (The War Report) in June 1997, but after Holley was thrown back in jail on a parole violation, Santiago began recording a solo album. His solo debut, N.O.R.E. -- an acronym for Niggas on the Run Eating -- was an all-star affair, with contributions from Foxy Brown, Nas, Busta Rhymes, and Jay-Z, among others. Melvin Flynt -- Da Hustler followed in 1999. His third album, Gods Favorite, was delayed several times, but finally appeared in mid-2002. In 2006, he moved to the Def Jam imprint Roc la Familia and released N.O.R.E. y la Familia...Ya Tú Sabe, a mostly eggaeton album featuring guest stars like Nina Sky, Big Mato, and Daddy Yankee.
