about
Victor Santiago (born on September 6, 1976 in Lefrak City Queens, New York City, New York, USA), better known as N.O.R.E. and formerly known as Noreaga, is an American rapper and member of the hip hop group C-N-N (formerly known as Capone-N-Noreaga). He was born in Queensbridge, New York City to an African American mother and Puerto Rican (Neyo and Eniola O.) father. He has more recently released reggaeton records in addition to his traditional hip-hop fare. In more recent news on his reggaeton movement, he has signed to Jay-Z sub-label, Roc-La-Familia. He also collaborated on the hit single "Mas Maiz" which included artists such as Nina Sky, Fat Joe, Big Mato, Chingo Bling, Lil Rob, Negra (LDA) and Lumidee. N.O.R.E. has his own label, "Thugged Out Militainment". N.O.R.E. stands for Niggaz On (the) Run Eatin'. His previous alias, Noreaga, is derived from the Panamanian general Manuel Noriega, convicted of drug running. Tommy Boy Records, his former label, own the "Noreaga" name, which forced him to bill himself differently after moving to Def Jam Records via Roc-A-Fella Records.
