NORE hooks up with rap legend D-NICE

By: Yves Erwin Salomon

Rapper NORE is back in the studio working on a new rap album, titled Global Warming. MTV.com reports that he's recording in Miami and he's hired a new A&R, DJ EFN, to assist with the project. The rapper recently leaked a song from the project, titled "My Name Is N.O.," which samples the beat from D-Nice's "Call Me D-Nice."

NORE explained, "I just spoke to D-Nice and he's actually going to give me the original beat, the reel, to it (for the remix). And he gave me confirmation he's gonna get on the remix for me. That's one of the most hardcore records to come out in hip-hop ever, period. I used to see D-Nice and say, 'I'mma redo your record,'and I finally got the opportunity to do it."

NORE has also re-united with his partner Capone and the duo recently recorded a song, "Greenlight" featuring Final Chapter. A reunion project is allegedly in the works to coincide with the 10 year anniversary of their 1997 classic debut, The War Report.

NORE's last release was reggaeton album, Nore A La Familia, last year.
