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!

If you love dancehall, hip hop, and real talk, this episode is a must-watch.

Make some noise for Beenie Man! 💐💐💐🏆🏆🏆

Far from being a tragedy for Africa, the demise of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) at the hands of President Donald Trump's administration should be cause for celebration, argues Arikana Chihombori-Quao, the former ambassador of the African Union to the US.

Chihombori-Quao tells host Steve Clemons that USAID doesn’t have much to show for its decades of education and healthcare projects in Africa and often destabilised countries under the guise of environmental, human rights or social justice agendas.

And if the US is not interested in Africa, African leaders shouldn’t beg for better relations, she said. “It takes two to tango,” the former diplomat said.

⁣Dr. Okunini Talawa Adodo is a Jamaican Pan-Afrikanist scholar who focuses on Afrikan history, Afrocentric theory, and Afrikan language.

In Part 1 of this insightful reasoning, Dr. Okunini Talawa Adodo explores the theory that the name "Jamaica" may not have originated with the Taíno people, but rather from the Akan language—specifically the phrase Gyamere Yaka, meaning “we are stuck.” Dr. Adodo also challenges the popular belief that Jamaica is simply a country of mixed people, instead offering the perspective that it is a land of diverse African ethnic groups who arrived from different regions of the continent.
