N.O.R.E. Song Lyrics

Victor Santiago, Jr. (born September 6, 1976), better known by his stage name N.O.R.E. or Noreaga, is an American rapper of Puerto Rican descent. He is one half of the group Capone-N-Noreaga.

N.O.R.E. (or Noreaga as he was then known, after Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega) first came on the music scene in 1996 as part of the duo Capone-N-Noreaga. He teamed with fellow rapper Capone, who he had met in prison, to form the group.

They signed to Penalty Recordings in 1996 and released their debut album as a group, The War Report, in 1997. The War Report  was a commercial and critical success which made the group well known among rap audiences. The album received praise for using the traditional grimey boom-bap sound of classic New York City hip-hop, which at that time was falling out of favor to a more futuristic sound.
