Amongst a long list of headliners, including Daddy Yankee, Tego Calderon, Don Omar, Pitbull, Ivy Queen and Terror Squad, Nore's sudden segue onto the reggaetón scene with "Oye mi canto" may recall the "Sesame Street" ditty, "One of these things is not like the other. One of these things just doesn't belong." But, N.O.R.E. is more than prepared to capitalize on his unexpected, offshoot reggaetón career.

The half Puerto Rican - half African American Queens native Victor Santiago a.k.a., N.O.R.E., boasts a name apropos to the country that spawned the genre and El General, reggaetón's OG. Self christened after Manuel Noriega, Panama's nefarious dictator and drug czar, a name choice more reminiscent of Nore's illicit past has now panned out sweetly, an unconscious and fateful foreshadowing of his future. N.O.R.E., a longtime friend of Fat Joe and the departed Pun, due in part to the fact that he has long embraced his "latinidad,"(rewind: "I'm half Spanish, all day 'roz con pollo.") has given reggaetón a boost on to the mainstream with a little help from Roc- A-Fella records, which recently bought out Def Jam (N.O.R.E.'s former label) and signed N.O.R.E., quite the versatile acquisition.
