CHANNEL 10, dropped in 2009, the duo's third album overall, finds the pair on top of their game, hyping unity while playfully mocking each other's foibles.
XXL (Magazine Publisher) (p.103) - "[T]he duo shows newfound depth on 'The Argument'....DJ Premier leads the charge with his patented boom-bap on 'Grand Royal,' then the Clipse, Tha Dogg Pound, Maino and Uncle Murda bring up the rear on the hard-hitting 'My Hood.'"
Queens duo Capone `n' Noreaga's hardcore credibility is hard to question; the group came about when the two met serving time in the early-`90s at Collins Correctional Facility in New York. The pair's 1997 platinum-selling debut, THE WAR REPORT, swiftly earned street classic status with its stark tales of drug dealers and street hustlers over gritty beats. Capone's frequent returns to prison have led to long hiatuses; however, the group continued to record (under the CNN moniker) well into the `00s, while Noreaga went on to massive solo success as N.O.R.E.
