Queens rap duo Capone-N-Noreaga enjoyed massive street credibility with the
release of their debut album, The War Report, which earned them a devoted
following in the hardcore rap world. Capone (born Kiam Holley) and Noreaga
(born Victor Santiago) grew up in the projects of Queensbridge and LeFrak City,
respectively, and endured rough childhoods and multiple run-ins with the law.
They met in 1992 while serving kitchen duty together at Collins Correctional
Facility in New York, and became friends; upon their release, they decided to
team up as rappers, taking their performing names from two legendary gangsters.
In 1996, they signed with Penalty Records; their first release was the single
"Illegal Life," and they next teamed up with Mobb Deep for "L.A., L.A.,"
another salvo in the East Coast/West Coast feud. Before their debut album was
completed, Capone was sent back to prison for violating his parole on a weapons
possession charge. Noreaga finished The War Report on his own, and it was a
substantial underground success upon its release in 1997, making the R&B Top
Five and going gold. With Capone incarcerated, the duo's thugged-out image rang
true, and the singles "Closer" and "T.O.N.Y. (Top of New York)" saw some action
on the rap charts. Noreaga capitalized on the album by starting a solo career,
but remained loyal to Capone, visiting his friend often and giving Capone
executive producer credits on the two popular solo albums (N.O.R.E. and Melvin
Flynt -- Da Hustler) he recorded over 1998-1999. Capone was released from
prison in early 1999, and the two immediately reteamed for the much-anticipated
The Reunion, which was released in 2000 on Tommy Boy. Dissatisfied with the
promotion, Capone-N-Noreaga asked to be released from their contract, and
signed with Def Jam in 2001. Later that year, Capone ran into further trouble
with the law; he was charged with assault following a nightclub brawl involving
gunfire in Queens, but the charge was dropped due to lack of evidence. Not long
after the incident, he was arrested at a Greensboro, NC, airport for possession
of marijuana, but avoided jail time. Noreaga released his third solo album,
God's Favorite, in 2002, and Capone was working on his own solo debut at the
same time. Now the wait is over and Capone is back with Menace II Society.
