![]() ![]() ![]() With Capone jailed for a parole violation when it was time to record another album, Noreaga released “N.O.R.E.” last year. Their frank discussion of their drug-dealing past earned Capone-N-Noreaga authenticity points in the hard-to-impress hip-hop community. Noreaga catapulted to stardom in the duo Capone-N-Noreaga when 1997’s brutal “The War Report” became an underground smash. His rap moniker itself comes from the infamous former Panamanian strongman Manuel Noriega. This isn’t the first time Noreaga, 21, has used high-profile characters for inspiration. He also comments on a number of police brutality cases in his hometown in “Flagrant Cops,” while “First Day Home” discusses the pressure former prison inmates face in returning to society.
