Capone-N-Noreaga (CNN for short) is an East Coast Hip Hop duo that consists of Capone (Kiam Holley, born February 8, 1976) and Noreaga (Victor Santiago, born September 6, 1976). 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. In 1996 they signed with the first incarnation of Penalty Records in a deal with 25 to Life records, Tragedy Khadafi's label. The duo was also featured Unsigned Hype in The Source magazine. In 1996, CNN released its trend-setting debut album, The War Report. Before the groups debut album was completed, Capone was sent back to prison for violating his parole, and Noreaga finished The War Report on his own.[1] With tracks crafted by Lord Finesse, Havoc (of Mobb Deep), Clark Kent, and a number of other acclaimed producers, The War Report was well-received by critics and established the duo as a household name within the hardcore hip-hop community. According to Rolling Stone, the duo distinguished itself with Capone's nasal delivery and clear-eyed vision of street life, coupled with Noreaga's often hilarious and nonsensical rhymes ("I run laps around the English Channel," is one of his choice lines)
