Noreaga N.O.R.E.

Color Of Vinyl Subject To Change Without Notice / Call To Confirm Colored Copies Are Still Available

Tommy Boy presents a colored vinyl 2LP pressing of Noreaga's N.O.R.E. as part of the label's 40th anniversary celebration. While Noreaga may be known these days as the host of one of the most popular podcasts in the world, Drink Champs, it was his earlier work as an unapologetic, energetic MC that helped to catapult the multi-talented artist into the spotlight. The rapper first made waves with his work as one half of duo Capone-N-Noreaga alongside fellow Queens native Capone. Shortly after the release of their massively successful debut, The War Report, Capone landed himself back in prison and Noreaga moved ahead as a solo act, finding further success with his 1998 debut N.O.R.E. which peaked at an impressive No. 3 on the US Billboard 200. Home to the futuristic sounding singles "Superthug," "N.O.R.E." and legendary posse cut, "Banned from T.V.", the platinum-certified affair boasts features from fellow NYC MC's Nas, Kool G Rap, Big Pun and Busta Rhymes plus production from then-up-and-coming Swizz Beatz and The Neptunes.
