Summary
N.O.R.E. & DJ EFN are the Drink Champs. In this episode we chop it up with the one and only, Havoc!
As one-half of the iconic duo Mobb Deep, Havoc has cemented his place in hip hop history with gritty production, raw storytelling, and timeless anthems that shaped an entire era of rap. Havoc dives into his journey—from the early days in Queensbridge to dominating the rap game alongside Prodigy, creating classics like Shook Ones and Survival of the Fittest.
But this conversation isn’t just about the music—it’s about legacy, survival, and carrying the torch after Prodigy’s passing. Havoc opens up about life after losing his brother-in-rhyme, his evolution as both an MC and producer, and how he continues to influence the culture with his sound. Expect deep stories from the golden era, behind-the-scenes gems about Mobb Deep’s rise, and raw honesty about the ups and downs of navigating the industry.
Of course, it wouldn’t be Drink Champs without laughs, drinks, and unfiltered energy. Havoc’s episode is a celebration of hip hop greatness, honoring the past while looking toward the future.
Make some noise for Havoc! 💐💐💐🏆🏆🏆
