Summary
N.O.R.E. & DJ EFN are the Drink Champs. In this episode we chop it up with the one and only, Southside and Fuse of 808 Mafia!
The Champs sit down with two of the masterminds behind the sound that shook hip hop to its core—Southside and Fuse of 808 Mafia. Known for crafting some of the hardest-hitting beats of the last decade, the producers open up about their rise, their legacy, and the wild journey of building one of the most respected production collectives in the game.
Southside, the fearless architect of the 808 Mafia sound, dives deep into his come-up, his relentless grind, and the way he’s pushed the culture forward with his signature dark, aggressive beats. Fuse, the other half of the duo, shares stories of studio sessions, the chemistry between producers and artists, and how the Mafia turned raw energy into platinum records. Together, they reflect on working with legends like Future, Gucci Mane, Waka Flocka, and countless others who helped define an era.
Of course, in true Drink Champs fashion, the episode is packed with laughs, raw truth, and plenty of shots. Southside and Fuse celebrate their wins, address their struggles, and give flowers to those who inspired them—cementing why 808 Mafia will always be a cornerstone of hip hop history.
