Summary
N.O.R.E. & DJ EFN are the Drink Champs. In this episode we chop it up with the legendary, Jessy and Ulysses Terrero!
Jessy and Ulysses pull up for a legendary family affair full of vision, hustle, and Hollywood game! N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN sit down with the Dominican-born brothers who helped shape the look and sound of an entire era in music and film.
Jessy, the iconic music video director turned filmmaker, breaks down working with 50 Cent, reggaeton legends, and how he helped bring Latino culture to the mainstream. Ulysses, a powerhouse casting director and talent discoverer, talks about finding stars before the world knew their names and opening doors for the culture in movies, TV, and music videos.
Together, they reflect on growing up in Queens, navigating the industry with no blueprint, and building a legacy rooted in authenticity and representation. From G-Unit stories to directing worldwide tours to launching careers of future legends, the Terrero brothers drop gems, tell never-before-heard stories, and remind everyone why they’re true pioneers behind the camera.
They talk brotherhood, business, betrayal, and winning on their own terms—plus plenty of laughs, shots, and classic Drink Champs chaos. This episode is a masterclass in longevity and creativity from two industry giants who changed the visual language of hip hop and beyond. A must-watch for anyone who loves culture, cinema, and the grind!
