Capone

Queens, NY-based hardcore rapper Capone was born Kiam Holley. While serving a prison sentence, he befriended fellow inmate Victor Santiago; upon their release, the duo rechristened themselves Capone-N-Noreaga and in 1997, issued their debut LP, The War Report. Parole violations soon sent Holley back to the slammer, as Noreaga pursued a solo career. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
