“A secret society of murderers with a king for a ringleader”.

In 1885 King Leopold of Belgium; an awkward, ruthless, selfish man, was recognised as the sovereign of the Congo. Long determined to carve out his very own private colonial domain, he had alighted upon the Congo - Africa’s vast and unplundered interior. With the help of the explorer Henry Morton Stanley, who had found a way to circumnavigate the Congo’s formerly insurmountable rapids, he concocted a cunning scheme to legally make it his own, while casting himself as a civilising saviour. Yet, despite his ostensibly philanthropic motivations, Leopold’s goal was always profit. More specifically, ivory, and later rubber, and before long a thriving hub of industry had been established in the Congo, bustling with soldiers, traders and missionaries. Meanwhile and most significantly, tens of thousands of Congolese people were being beaten, coerced and essentially enslaved into harvesting and carrying the riches of their land for their European oppressors. Their treatment was barbaric, the conditions in which they were made to live grotesque, and their suffering unimaginable. It was there, in King Leopold's Congo, that for years some of the worst violations of human life in all of human history were perpetrated. A terrible, secret heart of darkness, Until, at last, a young shipping clerk in Antwerp stumbled across something that would change the course of history forever...

The Arab Slave Trade

N.O.R.E. & DJ EFN are the Drink Champs. In this episode we chop it up with the legend himself, Beenie Man!

The King of Dancehall joins us for an episode you don’t want to miss. Beenie Man pulled up to Drink Champs and dropped straight gems on his legendary career, dancehall roots, and iconic moments. From spitting his first bars at eight years old to earning the crown as the King of Dancehall, Beenie’s journey is pure greatness. He broke down the difference between reggae and dancehall—one’s about the struggle, the other’s about the party. He also spoke on the Jamaican music scene, how real hits last forever, and how the police shut down a studio session during the pandemic.

The convo got real when Beenie talked about Biggie’s flow, Tupac’s message, and classic dancehall rivalries. He even shared wild stories about 50 Cent performing in Jamaica and the crazy energy of clash culture. Beenie kept it 💯 about his work with Janet Jackson, how legends like Jimmy Cliff and Damian Marley shaped the game, and why he’s all about timeless music. The man’s been making bangers since he was five—FIVE! He’s seen it all, done it all, and still got more fire to bring.

Special guest K.Foxx joins us on this episode along with special guest host Drink Champs Director iRossta.

Lots of great stories that you don’t want to miss!
