CAPONE PAIN, TIME AND GLORY MIX TAPE

Once again another Queensbridge rapper. He is one part of Capone and Noreaga. I think Capone is a great producer. On this mix tape there are some great tracks. There are some instrumentals used. This album is a great contribution to hip hop culture in general.

He knows how to maintain the appeal as an artist who came from the underground. After the War report album everybody has been waiting for follow ups. I think Capone is a talented rapper. Who took rapping serious since he came home from jail after meeting Noreaga.

This album is very grimy. This album also contains a track which is a guest featuring of Wayne Wonder. Lots of colourful beats. These beats are banging. With his team called Grim team he has put together another master piece of beats and rhymes. My favourite track is called ‘Queensbridge’. All hail Queensbridge.

N.O.R.E ALBUM REVIEW

This album was a whole beginning of a new era in the east coast gangster rap. I was glad to hear this album in 1998. I think this album is produced well. It was produced by Kiam 'Capone'. I love this duo. Where is N.o.r.e without Capone and visa versa?

I have much respect for Noreaga as a solo artist. He represents Queens well. He is a typical example of rag to riches in the game of rap. He went from selling crack to be a great rapping persona. On the N.O.R.E album contains songs like 'Banned from T.V'. This is a great track with big names in the rap game. Such as L.O.X, Cam’ Ron, Big Pun and Nature.

I remember I was pumping this album when it was snowing out side. I got this great feeling. It can not be described. I was enjoying the beats. I think there are many artists nowadays should turn towards Kiam Capone for productions. The track called 'N.O.R.E' is produced by Track Masters. Check out the Queens duo's my space page.
