Victor Santiago Jr.,[1] better known by his stage names Noreaga and N.O.R.E., (born September 6, 1977) is an American emcee, and one half of the hip hop duo Capone-N-Noreaga.
He was born in Queens, New York to an African American mother and Puerto Rican father.[2] He has more recently released reggaeton records in addition to his traditional hip-hop fare. In more recent news on his reggaeton movement, he was signed to Roc-A-Fella sub-label Roc-La-Familia, but is no longer signed to Def Jam or Roc-A-Fella Records because of poor promotion from the label.
He also collaborated on the hit single "Más Maíz" which included artists such as Nina Sky, Fat Joe, Chingo Bling, Lil Rob, and Lumidee. N.O.R.E. has his own label, Thugged Out Militainment. N.O.R.E. is now signed to Baby Grande Records where he released his latest album Noreality.
N.O.R.E. is a backronym 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, because it claimed that it was owed two more albums from him, forced him to bill himself differently after signing with Def Jam Recordings.
N.O.R.E. was also featured on the track "Bounce" by MSTRKRFT, which was released on April 1, 2008.
On February 22, 2009, he was arrested in a Miami Beach Fatburger after a fight with another customer and charged with misdemeanor battery and disorderly conduct.[3]
