Nuyorican rapper N.O.R.E. (a.k.a. Victor Santiago Jr., a.k.a. Noreaga) first blew up the spot back in 1996 as one half of duo Capone-n-Noreaga. But N.O.R.E. made his solo debut two years later, with a self-titled album that climbed to #3 on the Billboard charts. Since then he's continued to deliver raw, street-level rhymes and hard reggaeton over the course of six records, including 2007's Noreality.
