Capone-N-Noreaga are back together and promise to be in the studio next week, contrary to the Twitter reports of disbanding in 2011, as the duo tells Sway Calloway.
Veteran Queens, New York duo Capone-N-Noreaga stated that they would be going on hiatus in mid-2011, following the War Report 2 album a year earlier. At the time, N.O.R.E. took to Twitter to confirm that CNN would record no more, and asked, “Doesn’t it hurt to watch a boxer still box when he’s heart isn’t in it that’s what the group feels like right now.” At the time, it was unclear whether or not he was talking about himself or his rhyme partner.
Havoc has been in the studio, as Mobb Deep is still technically on hiatus, and is now preparing to release his third studio album.

Havoc released the first single from the album last month when he dropped “Tell Me To My Face” featuring Royce Da 5’9. He also dropped the track “Separated (Real From The Fake)” last August, an intended diss at his Mobb Deep affiliate Prodigy.
