About this 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 legends themselves, Cormega and Cory Gunz!

The two lyrical a**a**ins from different generations: Cormega and Cory Gunz join the Champs! Queensbridge meets the Bronx in an unfiltered celebration of bars, legacy, and the grind of staying sharp in the rap game.

Cormega, a respected vet known for his poetic street wisdom and independent hustle, opens up about his early days with The Firm, navigating the industry on his own terms, and how realness has always been his currency. Meanwhile, Cory Gunz—the rapid-fire spitter with Bronx in his blood and Young Money roots—talks about his come-up, working with Lil Wayne, and the pressure of growing up as Peter Gunz's son.

The energy gets real as the drinks flow and the war stories come out—studio sessions, label politics, and the power of staying lyrical in a clout-chasing era. With mutual respect and raw honesty, this episode bridges eras and boroughs. Cormega and Cory Gunz prove why bars still matter, and the Champs makes sure the conversation stays loud, legendary, and laced with laughter.

Whether you’re a 90s purist or a fan of modern spitters, this one’s for the true hip-hop heads.

Make some noise for Cormega and Cory Gunz!! 💐💐💐🏆🏆🏆
