CNN released Channel 10 on March 17, 2009, taking the name from a song off The War Report. In 2006, NORE brought up the possibility of a Capone-n-Noreaga reunion and a new album. In early 2005, Def Jam released Capone from his contract while retaining NORE Capone released his debut album, Pain, Time, and Glory, in the same year. Capone-n-Noreaga have denied any involvement in the shooting, for which the group was not charged. In the same year, the duo found itself implicated in a non-fatal shooting between rival hip-hop groups, one of which included emcee Lil' Kim, after a chance encounter outside New York radio station Hot 97. It was released later in 2004 as a mixtape ( What Up 2 Da Hood Thugged Out). The single failed to make an impact, and the album was shelved. The duo recorded a new album in 2003 called What up 2 Da Hood, with a lead single, " Yes, Sir," which was issued on mixtapes and promoted by a video. 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. Soon after, in 2001, Capone-n-Noreaga jumped ship to prominent label Def Jam. Additionally, Capone was once again sent to prison before its release for violating a probation sentence on gun possession, which undermined promotion of the album. Similarly star-studded, the album went platinum, but suffered from mixed reviews. In 2000, the group released its sophomore effort, The Reunion, on Tommy Boy Records. The album was met with critical and commercial acclaim it saw the group partake in the conflict between Death Row Records and Bad Boy Entertainment, making it a more widespread East Coast/West Coast rivalry, responding to Tha Dogg Pound's single " New York, New York" with its own " L.A L.A" In 1996, before the group’s debut album was completed, Capone was imprisoned for a parole violation, and Noreaga finished the debut album, The War Report, with the help of various other QB/NY hip-hop acts. In 1996 the duo signed with Penalty Records it also appeared in The Source magazine's Unsigned Hype column.
