About this episode

N.O.R.E. & DJ EFN are the Drink Champs. In this classic throwback episode we chop it up with the legendary, Ice-T!

In this explosive Drink Champs episode, Ice-T, the O.G. of gangster rap and the mastermind behind Body Count, joins us for a deep dive into the game.

From his grind in the streets to becoming a Hollywood heavyweight, Ice drops jewels on staying real and navigating the industry. He takes us back to the raw 80s and 90s, the realest eras, where gang culture shaped his lyrics, and rap was a way out for hustlers like him.

Ice speaks on creating timeless tracks like Colors, his influence on gangster rap, and his infamous track Cop K*ller that shook the world. He talks about his transition from the hood to Hollywood, starring in iconic films like New Jack City, and the journey to becoming a regular on Law & Order: SVU.

With classic Ice-T wit, he shares wild stories about pimpin', credit card scams, and how his army days shaped his discipline. The O.G. reflects on the evolution of hip-hop, from bars to beats, and praises legends like Dave Chappelle while staying true to his roots.

This episode is a masterclass in longevity, hustle, and keeping it 100 in every era.

Make some noise for Ice-T!! 💐💐💐🏆🏆🏆
