It has been praised as one of the best Hip Hop podcasts, and Drink Champs is making major moves. Noreaga and DJ EFN's conversations with the culture's most influential figures have captivated a global audience. Since 2015, they've snagged interviews with the industry's often elusive elite—including Dave Chappelle, Kanye West, and even Patti LaBelle.
Today (January 12), it was shared that Drink Champs was ushering in a new era. A press release also stated they've partnered with Interval Presents, Warner Music Group's in-house podcasts network. This is a distribution partnership where Interval Presents "gained the exclusive licensing rights to the audio version of the podcast on all major podcast platforms."
