Interval Presents will have exclusive audio rights and will distribute the award-winning podcast with new episodes starting Jan. 27. The co-hosts of the podcast includes rapper N.O.R.E and DJ/music executive DJ EFN.
“I’m feeling good about partnering with Interval Presents and joining the all-star team they’ve got. We’re ready to take things to the next level for us and the culture at large! Let’s go,” N.O.R.E. said.
“We were impressed with the network’s dedication to the culture and the support we’ve received to expand our show to reach new heights allowing us to further pioneer and break barriers in the space,” DJ EFN said.
One rapper who also recently agreed to a deal for a podcast was Baton Rouge rapper NBA YoungBoy.
Since 2015, Drink Champs has held a number of notable interviews over the years. Two of the most significant interviews in 2022 included music executive Irv Gotti who turned heads with his commentary on former Murder Inc. singer Ashanti and the other featuring late Migos rapper Takeoff where he said he wanted his flowers before he died.
Drink Champs will still be the video distributor and the first episode after the new deal will be distributed by platforms such as Apple podcasts, Spotify, and iHeart.
