Freeload: Noreaga, “NY Groove”
- story THE FADER
Back in August we told you that Noreaga’s web game was on point, and between his weight loss contest with Busta, the continuous video blogs and poetic Twitter updates (”Yoooo what it good be y’all I’m so focused feeling fresh good got Muslim oil on my sean john cologne and I’m just feeling marverlous”), it looks like the superthug will be running the internet by dinner time. Aside from branding himself, Nore continues to make music in the form of KISS-sampling “NY Groove” which is exactly what you’d imagine: an infectiously joyful pro-New York anthem that very few rappers (with the exception of Cam, Juelz, and, uh, Nore himself) can pull off. Our plan is to quote the line, “my city a iPhone, your city a Sidekick” until the iPhone becomes obsolete, or until everyone calls us assholes.

Freeload: Capone-N-Noreaga, “Hug The Block” + “Money”
- story THE FADER
It’s not a 100-degree spring day without a little NORE, so, as if summoned by the vengeful gods who’ve turned New York into boiling cauldron the last few days (We are wearing cut-offs in the office!), Victor Santiago appears with his partner Capone to drop a couple songs for all the dudes and ladies sweating through perfectly reasonable early-June outfits. “Hug the Block” is bootleg Al B. Sure! and “Money” is a big Southern jawn with Shawty Lo on the hook produced by Dallas duo Play-N-Skillz.

A new song with NORE on it is always an occasion. We’re kind of anticipating a new CNN album, bring it on dudes.
