iHeartMedia Partners with Charlamagne Tha God to Launch Drink Champs Podcast Network

In an exciting new venture, iHeartMedia, recognized as the world's largest podcast publisher, has teamed up with Charlamagne Tha God’s The Black Effect Podcast Network to introduce the Drink Champs Podcast Network. This innovative network aims to provide a platform for cultural conversations, rooted in the heart of hip-hop. The new network officially launched its first series titled "ROC Solid" hosted by hip-hop legend Memphis Bleek.

A New Era of Podcasting

The Drink Champs Podcast Network represents a significant step in the evolution of podcasting, particularly in how it intersects with hip-hop and broader cultural narratives. The network is helmed by the dynamic duo N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN, the masterminds behind the widely successful "Drink Champs" series, known for its engaging storytelling and potent interviews with iconic personalities in the music industry.

N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN have carved out a niche for themselves in the podcast landscape, amassing nearly 100 million downloads since the inception of their podcast nine years ago. With the establishment of the Drink Champs Podcast Network, they express their commitment to amplify unique voices and showcase untold stories that reflect the impact of hip-hop culture.

"We want to share our journey and insights acquired over the years as we continue to pave new paths in this space," they stated enthusiastically. Their dedication to support new talent and diverse narratives sets the foundation for the future of the network.

Merging Cultures and Amplifying Voices

Dollie S. Bishop, President of The Black Effect Podcast Network, expressed her enthusiasm for the partnership: "This collaboration signifies a unique fusion of hip-hop culture's energy and authenticity with iHeartMedia's expansive reach. Together, we can create a platform that not only uplifts voices in music and hip-hop but also resonates deeply with our audience."

Aside from the engaging discussion and storytelling rooted in hip-hop, the network aims to go beyond music, delving into topics that reflect the lifestyle and culture surrounding it. The inaugural show, "ROC Solid," is not just a retrospective of Roc-A-Fella Records, but rather a space for meaningful dialogue with various influential figures from music, sports, and business, including the likes of N.O.R.E., Young Guru, and Freeway.

Memphis Bleek shared insights about hosting his show, emphasizing its significance: "It’s about defining moments and what it means to remain ‘solid’ in an ever-evolving landscape. I’ve accumulated countless experiences, and it’s time to engage others who have navigated their journeys while staying genuine to themselves."

Catch the First Episode with Ja Rule

In commemoration of Black Music Month, the first episode features an exclusive conversation with fellow hip-hop artist Ja Rule. Their candid discussion will cover various aspects of their careers, including unforgettable Roc-A-Fella memories and perspectives on the current landscape of the music culture.

Bishop noted, "Launching 'ROC Solid' feels like a natural fit as it embodies the essence of storytelling in the music industry. The candid dialogues and authentic perspectives make it a compelling listen."

As fans eagerly await more content, they can expect an array of additional shows that align with the network's vision and speak to the hip-hop community's diversity and vibrancy.

All episodes, including "ROC Solid," will be accessible through the iHeartRadio app and various podcast platforms, ensuring that audiences can engage with these rich narratives anytime, anywhere.
