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 legendary, Jeezy.

The Snowman himself, joins us for an unfiltered sit-down that’s as raw as it is legendary. From the trap to the top, Jeezy lays out his journey with the kind of honesty only the Champs can pull out over shots and stories. The conversation dives into his early grind, from Trap or Die to Thug Motivation 101, painting the picture of a hustler turned mogul who never forgot where he came from.

Jeezy reflects on shaping the sound of Atlanta and putting trap music on the global map, sharing behind-the-scenes stories of working with icons like Jay-Z, T.I., and Kanye West. The episode also touches on the ups and downs of fame, street politics, and the lessons that fueled his growth both as an artist and a businessman. With laughter, gems, and classic storytelling, Jeezy opens up about his evolution—how he went from snowman T-shirts and mixtape dominance to becoming an author, entrepreneur, and respected voice in the culture.

This episode isn’t just a trip down memory lane—it’s a celebration of Jeezy’s impact on hip hop and a testament to why his name will forever ring bells in the game.

Make some noise for Jeezy! 💐💐💐🏆🏆🏆
