Rapper Noreaga Signs With Jay-Z's Roc-La-Familia, Planning Separate
Hip-Hop Album On Def Jam
Queens, New York rapper and reggaeton artist Noreaga has signed a
deal with Jay-Z's Roc-La-Familia to release a reggaeton album, while
preparing to release a separate Hip-Hop album under the Def Jam
imprint.
"I am really excited," Nore told AllHipHop.com. "I am about to put
out two different genres of music under the label, so this is real
big. I think I am the first artist to have two completely separate
deals by the same company, so I can actually put out two very
different albums at the same time and there not be any problems."
Nore a La Familia will feature guest appearances by Daddy Yankee,
Zion & Lennox, Hector Bombino and other Latin artists and Nore
insists that his Roc La Familia debut will be strictly Reggaeton.
"I am both Black and Latino, so this is important to me to embrace
both sides and that is why I am releasing two different albums." Nore
continued. "I really feel like this is my chance to pay homage to my
Latin side and I know my father is looking down on me from Heaven
smiling, because I am doing it right."
On the flip side, Nore is preparing his highly anticipated solo album
on Def Jam, One Fan a Day. The album has already spawned the leaked
single "I'm a G," featuring Pharrell Williams of The Neptunes, which
has fans buzzing.
The album will feature guest appearances by Mariah Carey and the late
Big Pun, as well as a track produced by Swizz Beatz.
"I don't want people to forget about my Hip-Hop album," Nore
said. "From now on I am doing two of everything, [laughs]. Two tours
for the two albums. It is going to be interesting to see which crowd
my concerts bring in. But regardless of which crowd or whether it's
mixed, I am happy, although my DJ may be confused, because he won't
know which records to play [laughs]."
Aside from releasing two opposing albums virtually at the same time,
Nore is also planning several feature film appearances
including "Treasure of the Seven Mummies," "MVP" and the independent
film "I Wish I Had a House Like This."
"I am really doing my thing as far as branching into acting," Nore
told AllHipHop.com. "My roles are some what small like in the
movie `Treasure of the Seven Mummies.' All I am going to say is I
play the classic black man role. I love it all [because] I am getting
my foot in the door."
The films are scheduled for a 2006. Nore a La Familia is scheduled
for release in March 2006 and One Fan At a Time is scheduled for
release in January 2006.
