Album Notes & Community Reviews

With Capone incarcerated for a significant portion of the recording process, Noreaga largely carried this monumental East Coast hardcore hip-hop debut alongside Tragedy Khadafi. Defined by incredibly dark, menacing boom-bap production and gritty, unapologetic Mafioso street narratives, the record became a massive, highly influential cult classic within the New York underground.
