Noreality heralds Noreaga's highly anticipated return to hip-hop, after broadening his base (and showcasing his versatility) with 2004's reggaeton project Y La Familia Ya Tu Sabe. Now, with the release of Noreality, Noreaga takes it back to hip-hop and back to the streets where his last album scanned over 500,000 copies. Noreaga's resume reads like a veritable who's who of the hip-hop elite, having both appeared and collaborated with the likes of Jay Z, the iconic Big Pun, R. Kelly, Swizz Beatz, Pharrell, Cam'ron, DJ Clue and many more. One of hip-hop's most respected stalwarts, Noreaga's viability has consistently withstood both fluctuating creative and commercial climates, having sold millions of units throughout the past 8 years.
Noreaga is not only focused lyrically but he's also focused on his own business and new label: Thugged Out Militainment. Produced under Thugged Out Militainment and released in partnership with Babygrande, Noreaga has officially gone independent with Noreality. Noreaga wants his fans to be clear that Noreality is not a mixtape; rather, it is an album he created while shooting his DVD reality show and that's what it inspired it his everyday life. Noreaga adds, "I just want to give the fans that something extra this time."
Noreaga delivers on that promise, back at it again with 2007's Noreality, featuring high profile, A-list guest appearances from Jadakiss, Three 6 Mafia, Kanye West, Styles P., Tru Life, Capone, Kurupt, Peedi Peedi & more. With production by Swizz Beatz, among others, the album is the next chapter in a storied 10+ year career from one of hip-hop's most accomplished and respected emcees.
