Rapper and Drink Champs Podcast host Noreaga also known as N.O.R.E. Cuts a conversation short to explain the true business aspects behind record deals. The Iconic rapper and host of one of the most viewed podcast in the world said, “RECORD DEALS ARE A LOAN. THEY ARE THE WORSE LOANS YOU CAN MAKE.”

Victor James Santiago Jr. (born September 6, 1977), better known by his stage names N.O.R.E. (an acronym for N***a On the Run Eating) and Noreaga, is an American rapper and podcaster. Santiago first rose to prominence as one half of the East Coast hip-hop duo Capone-N-Noreaga, which he formed in 1995 with fellow Queens-based rapper Capone. The duo released five studio albums, briefly disbanding after their second to pursue solo careers.

Santiago signed with Penalty Recordings as a solo artist to release his self-titled debut studio album in 1998.[a] The album peaked at number three on the Billboard 200 and spawned the Billboard Hot 100-top 40 single “Superthug”. He followed up with his second album, Melvin Flynt – Da Hustler (1999) before signing with Def Jam Recordings to release his third album, God’s Favorite (2002). Matching his debut in chart position, it spawned his highest charting-single “Nothin’” (featuring Pharrell), which peaked at number ten on the Billboard Hot 100. He signed with Jay-Z’s Roc-La-Familia.

Outside of music, Santiago is the co-host (with DJ EFN) of the talk show and podcast Drink Champs, which centers around celebrity interviews. The show has been described as “The Premier Hip Hop Interview Show” and won “Best Hip Hop Platform” at the 2022 BET Hip Hop Awards.

Antonio Hardy (born September 10, 1968), better known by his stage name Big Daddy Kane, is an American rapper, producer and actor who began his career in 1986 as a member of the Juice Crew. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential and skilled MCs in hip-hop. Rolling Stone ranked his song “Ain’t No Half-Steppin’” 25th on its list of The 50 Greatest Hip-Hop Songs of All Time, calling him “a master wordsmith of rap’s ... golden age and a huge influence on a generation of MCs.”

Kane is known for his ability to syncopate over fast beats. Despite his asthma,[4] he is a pioneer of fast rhyming. His sense of style is renowned and set a number of late-1980s and early-1990s hip hop trends (high-top fades hairstyles, velour suits, and four-finger rings). The backronym “King Asiatic Nobody’s Equal” is often applied to his moniker.

In 1988, Kane released his debut album, Long Live the Kane, which featured the hit “Ain’t No Half Steppin’”. In 1989, he released his second album and biggest hit to date, It’s a Big Daddy Thing, which included 1970s sample throwbacks like “Smooth Operator” and the Teddy Riley-produced track “I Get the Job Done”. He also had a verse on the Marley Marl-produced track “The Symphony” (1988), which included Juice Crew members Craig G, Masta Ace, and Kool G Rap.
