Capone-N-Noreaga (C-N-N for short) is an East Coast hip hop duo that consists of Capone (Kiam Holley - born February 8, 1976) and Noreaga (Victor Santiago - born September 6, 1976). The two grew up in the housing projects of Queensbridge and Lefrak City (both in Queens, New York), and met each other in jail in 1992 while doing kitchen duty. In 1996 they signed to "Penalty Records" in a deal with "25 to Life" records (Tragedy Khadafi's label).
