	The Testament - Cormega - Music Reviews
		Cormega's long-unreleased debut album, The Testament, finally got an official release in 2005 after nearly a decade of bootlegging.
		The back-story goes like this: Cormega burst on the scene in 1996, when he guested on "Affirmative Action," a high-profile posse cut from Nas' sophomore album, It Was Written.
		Cormega wanted it released as it had been intended, and the result is a raw, emotional work by a young man with a lot on his mind and blessed with the means of rapping it eloquently.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on The True Meaning [PA] - Cormega at Epinions.com
		Cormega raps about dishonesty in a relationship, as he fell in love with a female who was already taken by another man. Cormega gives us a very unique and creative twist to these stories, vividly giving us his emotions.
		On this track, Cormega pokes fun in a much more light-hearted matter, insulting Prodigy's size and the fact that he got his jewels stolen so simple, and that all of his rhymes and trash talk was all bullsh*t because of that incident, and that he means nothing.
		Cormega continues his street poetry about coming up and raised with a street mentality, this time dropping some names of some of his friends and idols who he knew in the streets.

	Cormega - The Testament - Oh Word
		Cormega’s The Testament was for eight years one of the albums of legend, an unreleased classic in the eyes of numerous hip-hop fans, whose rep grew bigger every time a song leaked.
		According to an AllHipHop.com interview, Cormega’s only changes to the individual songs were to have them mixed by their original producers, as opposed to by a Def Jam engineer.
		Cormega is one of the few rap artists to have noticeably improved his lyrical ability with age, and while the work found on The Testament is good, it only hints at his potential.

		Cormega acclaim on the microphone began in 1996 when a young rapper from Queensbridge named Nasir Jones featured him on “Affirmative Action” from his sophomore album, It Was Written.
		The Testament went ghetto gold and was bootlegged enough to gain Cormega national exposure and a reputation in the underground circles as someone to watch.
		The album executive produced by Cormega and features several songs he co-produced with Hitmen producer, J. Wax Garfield including "Soul Food," "I’m Built For That" and "Live Ya Life"– a song that Mega feels will be a contender for the first single from The True Meaning.

	Cormega - Music Downloads - Online
		Bio: Loved by the streets as well as by critics, Cormega was the rare hardcore rapper to win praise from all directions, and while he never quite crossed over like some of his New York City peers, he maintained a respectable independence over the years nonetheless, self-releasing his work on the Legal Hustle label.
		Born Cory McKay, Cormega came up as part of the early-'90s Queensbridge scene that also fostered such name acts as Nas and Mobb Deep, among many others (not to mention the preceding generation of artists affiliated with Marley Marl and the Juice Crew).
		It was no big loss for Cormega, though, as he signed to Def Jam and recorded his debut album, The Testament.

	Cormega - Legal Hustle - Review - Stylus Magazine
		Cormega’s MCing abilities are highly rated for a reason; he is almost always on point lyrically, with insight and a talent for deft prose.
		Sampling ESG is hardly a new concept, and Cormega’s lyrics reflect the mournful recollections of a man who missed his spot in the sun, just as Nas and other similar mid-90s thug-MCs reached the heights of fame.
		But the best tracks on the album are those in which Cormega either looks forward, as with dancehall king Vybz Kartel on the menacing “Dangerous”, or when he collaborates with equally talented and energetic MCs, as with Ghostface on the burning “Tony/Montana”.

	Cormega - The True Meaning - Review - Stylus Magazine
		Cormega, rightfully so, blamed Nas for the ejection and turned his anger into a passion for real hip-hop, writing rhymes and recording a supposedly excellent debut album called The Testament for Violator/Def Jam.
		Most casual hip-hop fans are unfamiliar with the name Cormega, and even if they are, chances are they have never heard any tracks from him, and that’s a shame.
		Cormega has just as many quotable lines as Nas did, although Nas’ have stood the test of time, but the production sounds of DJ Premier, Large Professor, Q-Tip and Pete Rock is hard to beat.

	Cormega: Legal Hustle Vol 1. Release Date Pushed Back
		Though an undeniably articulate and thoughtful rapper, Cormega's reputation in the hip-hop underground resulted more from his longtime adversarial relationship with Nas than from his own music.
		Nas and Cormega, who both represent Queensbridge, met at the dawn of the '90s and became companions.
		Given all the fanfare surrounding Cormega's long-awaited splashing debut, it came as a bit of a surprise when Nas dissed him on the song "Destroy & Rebuild" from his comeback album, Stillmatic (2001).

		Cormega - After that statement I also said that you have the Black, disgruntled artist, who claims he's keeping it real and ain't down for the mainstream.

	Plan 9 - Cormega : Legal Hustle [PA] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		It's unfortunate that much of Queens, NY rapper Cormega's career has been overshadowed by his role as one of Nas's primary nemeses, their feud dating back roughly to Cormega's replacement in Nas's supergroup, the Firm, in 1996.
		While Cormega may not receive the attention of the King of Queensbridge, he still flows with remarkable prowess.
		His loving, tongue-tripping ode to the history of rap on "Bring It Back" is proof enough of his contemplative talent; even with this oft-used theme, Cormega not only shines a new light on the old school of hip-hop, he might just have written its definitive four-minute history.

	Cormega :: The True Meaning :: Legal Hustle Records/LandSpeed
		Cormega's response to being played by people he thought were fam in those days was to record "Fuck Nas and Nature." The song was an earthquake in the rap industry, and seemed prescient given the failure of The Firm artistically and comercially.
		Cormega still fires a few lyrical bullets Nas' way on "The True Meaning" (including "Love In Love Out") and Large Professor's appearance on "The Come Up" may even seem like a slap in the face, but the album in no way "gets real old" like his previous CD.
		Hangmen 3 rock strings and a triangle like nobody's business on "Verbal Graffiti," J 'Waxx' Garfield's wailing singer and piano keys bless the haunting tale "Live Ya Life," and D.R. Period's title track could easily be a 70's blaxploitation epic or the backdrop for a tearful Ghostface Killah song.
