N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN are the Drink Champs. In this episode the guys drink it up with hip hop mogul Dame Dash!
This episode is pure hip-hop, straight raw and unfiltered. Dame keeps it a buck about his journey from running Roc-A-Fella Records to his ventures in fashion, film, and beyond. He dives into the highs and lows, from battling industry politics to empowering his crew, always staying true to his vision.
Dame talks about the iconic moments that shaped hip-hop, like Jay-Z and DMX’s epic battle, the rise of Dipset, and how being a boss means making moves on your terms. The convo gets real as Dame reflects on knowing your worth, documenting history, and keeping creativity at the forefront of everything he does.
It’s not all business, though. Dame shares stories about throwing flashy parties, Mariah Carey pulling up to his studio, and lessons learned from the streets. Whether it’s about building generational wealth or just living life unapologetically, Dame reminds us why he’s always been a pioneer. Tune in for laughs, wisdom, and shots of Dusko Poppington—this episode is a toast to the hustle!
