N.O.R.E. & DJ EFN Launch Drink Champs Podcast Network

N.O.R.E. has launched the Drink Champs Podcast Network alongside longtime collaborator DJ EFN to expand their Hip-Hop-rooted media empire and spotlight emerging voices across culture and entertainment.

The new venture, announced Tuesday (June 10), builds on the success of their flagship show, Drink Champs, which has become a staple in Hip-Hop media for its unfiltered interviews.

The team described the network as “a new home for culture-shifting conversations and original content rooted in hip-hop and beyond.”

The first show under the new banner is Roc Solid, hosted by Memphis Bleek and produced in partnership with the Black Effect Podcast Network and iHeartMedia.

The debut marks a strategic move by N.O.R.E. to create a broader platform for voices that have shaped and continue to influence Hip-Hop culture.

“We’re eager to share all we’ve learned in helping trailblaze in this space,” said the co-hosts. “Our goal is to set people up not only for success but with the tools to forge their own lanes!”

Since its early days, Drink Champs has evolved from a laid-back conversation series into a cultural force.

The show has featured prominent names like Will Smith, Diddy, Kanye West and Snoop Dogg and built a reputation for pulling back the curtain on the music industry through honest, often unpredictable interviews.
