Biography

One-half of Capone-N-Noreaga, Victor "Noreaga" Santiago met Kiam "Capone" Holley in 1992 while both were serving prison sentences. The pair released a hard-hitting debut (The War Report) in 1997, but after Holley was thrown back in jail on a parole violation, Santiago began recording his 1998 solo debut, N.O.R.E. Melvin Flynt: Da Hustler followed in 1999. His third album, God's Favorite, was delayed several times, but finally appeared in 2002. In 2006, he moved to Def Jam's Roc la Familia imprint and released N.O.R.E. y la Familia...Ya Tú Sabe, a mostly reggaeton album. The following year, he signed to Babygrande to issue Noreality, a more-standard rap record. ~ John Bush
