N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN sit down with legendary hip-hop duo Smif-N-Wessun, made up of Tek and Steele. In this episode of Drink Champs, they discuss coming up in Brooklyn, getting a cease and desist from the Smith & Wesson gun company over their name, squashing beef with Biggie, working with Tupac in the studio, and why they ultimately changed their name to Cocoa Brovaz. They also talk about their iconic collaborations like “I Love You” with Mary J. Blige, maintaining their legacy after 25+ years in the game, and the idea of ghostwriting rhymes for each other as an artistic experiment.
