In 1996, the duo secured a recording contract with [[Neil Levine]]'s [[Penalty Recordings]]. In 1996, before the group's debut album was completed, Capone was jailed for a parole violation,<ref>[https://www.rollingstone.com/artists/caponennoreaga/biography] {{webarchive \|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071113155010/http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/caponennoreaga/biography \|date=November 13, 2007 }}</ref> and Noreaga finished their debut album ''[[The War Report]]'', with the help of various fellow [[New York Hip-Hop\|New York City hip-hop]] acts, including [[Mobb Deep]] and [[Tragedy Khadafi]]. The album was met with critical and commercial acclaim;<ref>{{cite web\|title=The War Report : Overview\|publisher=[[Allmusic]]}}</ref> it also saw the group partake in the [[East Coast-West Coast hip hop rivalry\|conflict]] between [[Death Row Records]] and [[Bad Boy Entertainment]], making it a more widespread East Coast/West Coast rivalry, responding to [[West Coast hip hop]] duo [[Tha Dogg Pound]]'s single "[[New York, New York (Tha Dogg Pound song)\|New York, New York]]", with their own rendition of "[[L.A., L.A. (song)\|L.A L.A]]". In 2000, the group released ''[[The Reunion (Capone-N-Noreaga album)\|The Reunion]]'', their second album on [[Tommy Boy Records]]. The album was similarly star-studded but suffered from mixed reviews.<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/the-reunion-mw0000616578\|title=The Reunion : Overview\|publisher=[[Allmusic]]\|access-date=September 17, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/reviews/id.10/title.capone-n-noreaga-the-reunion\|title=HipHop DX\|work=HipHopDX\|access-date=September 17, 2014\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090314143116/http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/reviews/id.10/title.capone-n-noreaga-the-reunion\|archive-date=March 14, 2009\|url-status=dead}}</ref> Additionally, Capone had once again been sent to prison before its release for violating a probation sentence on gun possession,<ref>[http://www.25hoursaday.com/weblog/2004/03/26/WhenKeepingItRealGoesWrong.aspx] {{webarchive \|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929090221/http://www.25hoursaday.com/weblog/2004/03/26/WhenKeepingItRealGoesWrong.aspx \|date=September 29, 2007 }}</ref> which undermined promotion of the album. Soon after, in 2001, Capone-n-Noreaga jumped ship to prominent label [[Def Jam]]. As Tommy Boy retained the rights to the names Capone-n-Noreaga and Noreaga, because the company claimed that the duo owed it more recordings, the group shortened its name to CNN, and Noreaga billed himself as N.O.R.E. (or NORE) for his solo work. The duo recorded a new album in 2003, titled ''New Religion'', with a lead single "[[Yes Sir (song)\|Yes, Sir]]," which was issued on [[mixtape]]s and promoted with a music video. The single failed to make an impact, and the album was ultimately shelved. A compilation of several tracks was released in 2004, entitled "What Up 2 Da Hood Thugged Out", Later that year, the duo found itself implicated in a non-fatal shooting between rival hip-hop groups, one of which included fellow East Coast rapper [[Lil' Kim]],<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1441041/20010227/lil_kim.jhtml\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010302174912/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1441041/20010227/lil_kim.jhtml\|url-status=dead\|archive-date=March 2, 2001\|title=MTV News : Lil' Kim Present At Hot 97 Shootout, Police Say\|work=MTV News\|access-date=September 17, 2014}}</ref> after a chance encounter outside New York radio station [[WQHT\|Hot 97]].
