Cory McKay, better known as Cormega, is an American emcee noted for his street topics and style representative of Queensbridge. He is also famous for his hip-hop feud with childhood friend and fellow emcee Nas, with whom he had settled his differences. History Born in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Cormega grew up in the Queensbridge Housing Projects in Long Island City, Queens, forming childhood friendships with future rappers such as Nas, Mobb Deep, Nature and Capone-N-Noreaga. When he was 4, his mother was murdered; he then moved in with his father and stepmother. Cory's stepmother insisted that he read one book a week, which he credited with getting him interested in writing.http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Cormega-Biography/770D6FFEA449908148256DA4001FA81Ehttp://www.worldwideconnected.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=211 (He has since denied it was "a book a week").http://www.philaflava.com
