Brand Nubian Breaks the Silence on Drink Champs | Full Episode

N.O.R.E. & DJ EFN are the Drink Champs and we're taking it back to some of the most legendary moments in Drink Champs history. Classic interviews, unforgettable stories, and iconic guests who shaped the culture.

In this classic throwback episode of Drink Champs, N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN chop it up with the legendary Brand Nubian!

Hip-hop royalty Brand Nubian steps up to the table for a raw, uncensored sit-down that’s full of classic culture and unfiltered truth. Lord Jamar and Sadat X rep for the legendary crew — talking about the early days coming up together, how they first linked with Grand Puba, and what it was like stacking those timeless records that helped shape the sound of ’90s hip-hop.

Over drinks and laughs, they unpack the group’s journey through the industry, navigate through some of the controversies that followed them, and reflect on the brotherhood, the battles, and the legacy they’ve built.

Whether it’s stories about the studio, the streets, or the culture at large, Brand Nubian brings a blend of wisdom, humor, and perspective that’s both enlightening and entertaining.

If you’re a fan of hip-hop history, real talk, and the kind of conversations that only happen when legends get honest with each other, this episode is a toast to one of the most influential crews in the game.
