Episode Date: September 19, 2025

N.O.R.E. & DJ EFN are the Drink Champs. In this episode we chop it up with the legendary, Lil Flip & Z-Ro! Two legends out of H-Town, these icons have carried the Texas rap torch for decades, ...and in this episode, they take the crew deep into their stories, struggles, and triumphs. Lil’ Flip reflects on his come-up during the Screwed Up Click era, the success of hits like “Game Over,” and how he kept his independence game strong in an industry that wanted to box him in. Z-Ro, known for his raw honesty and heartfelt bars, opens up about his reputation as “The Mo City Don,” his resilience, and how he’s remained authentic while the game around him kept changing. The conversation dives deep into the DNA of Houston music—DJ Screw’s influence, chopped and screwed culture, and how the city built a blueprint for self-made success. With plenty of gems, classic stories, and that unfiltered Drink Champs energy, this episode is a celebration of Southern culture, unity, and the legacy of two kings who never let the industry define them.

Starting point is 00:04:16 Yeah Yeah So Um Both of y'all Both of y'all man You're from a
Starting point is 00:04:23 very rich history Right a lot of people don't understand how rich Houston is in history right from the ghetto boys
Starting point is 00:04:35 so I just want to take it from the beginning and ask y'all how was it growing up in that environment in the beginning there you go Rother the pressure was on
Starting point is 00:04:52 okay yeah the pressure was on Now, describe that. When you say the pressure is on, are you saying because of your peers or from the outsiders, like the New Yorkers and the Miami people? Well, like, really, really from everybody because we were trying to feel like shoes. You're trying to walk in their shoes. Okay. So when that started, we was rapping already.
Starting point is 00:05:19 So it was kind of like we was better than everybody else. Right. But then we got the big homies. And it's like, we're trying to get, I ain't going to say better than them. But, you know, we got to at least be, well, they can know me in the room. Right. Right. So that's why I mean the pressure was on at least for me. Right.
Starting point is 00:05:35 Yeah. So let me ask, right. Whenever a person say Houston, they say, they say Texas, they say, even Dallas sometimes, they always mention J. Prince. Is that something that y'all have to go through? or is that something that... I mean, there's a bunch of labels out of Texas, though. I mean, but one of the most powerful... I mean, there's a lot of legacy labels, though.
Starting point is 00:05:58 What we talk about, rap a lot? We talk about Swab House. Switch a house, okay. Screwed up records. Screwed up records. But the most notorious... And going back as far as rap a lot, one of the original indies in hip-hop, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:11 It's like us from being in New York, Def Jam. Like, Def Jam... Miami, we got Luke Records. Okay, yeah. There you go. Perfect example. Was that something that you have... to deal with or it's something that never really popped
Starting point is 00:06:25 up for y'all? It's just something that when you got respect and you got talent and you stand on your word, you know, you get treated as such. So the things that Jay Prince did and built for Houston and the ghetto boys and
Starting point is 00:06:40 the different things that the foundations they laid down, they gave us the blueprint, the black print on how to be independent. You said the black print? Yeah, because we're black. And so they showed us You could be independent They showed us
Starting point is 00:06:58 You could put your logo on your pendant Right So we learned a lot about marketing And, you know, showing up to the shows deep So, you know, that's fan And we go always show love to them And it never go change, man You know, that was a beautiful
Starting point is 00:07:13 This thing for me being a New Yorker Watching the rise of Houston, right? was y'all was actually independent. For sure. Like, a lot of people were saying they were independent. No, Texas was a lot. And had distribution. Houston was really out the trunk.
Starting point is 00:07:33 For sure. Like, I always loved that about you. It's the Bay Area and Texas. Yeah, for sure. And we, I'm still out the trunk. Right. Yeah, thumb drive, CDs, T-shirts, merch. I still hustle like I ain't got nothing.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Like, that's the way you keep it. I'm going to take a shot to that. Hey, let's take one. Let's take my with you. Let's take my wife. Come on. You take the sake and some of lean? Let's do it.
Starting point is 00:07:55 Yeah, let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers. Salute. Dilley, dilly.
Starting point is 00:08:01 So let's break down that because that's something I'm always a fan of. I'm sorry. I'm a fan of Houston culture. I feel like, I feel like Houston doesn't have to promote outside of Houston. I mean, a little bit. You know, A little bit, but it's just like, when you got your core fan base, like, see, a lot of people, like when they try to talk about my career span, a lot of people, they just started at 2001 when I got the deal. The major deal.
Starting point is 00:08:38 Yeah, this is the way we bowed. Okay. And then for some, it was Atlantic Records? Now, that was Columbia. Live, a loud. Steve Rifkin. Shout out to Steve Rifkin. So, Pac-Man, Sappel, right?
Starting point is 00:08:48 Right. Okay, go ahead. But prior to this is the way we buy. I got diamonds in your face. I got records. LaTroille was the first person to put me on BET. We had a record called Lean to the left. Wow.
Starting point is 00:08:59 Probably going to plant them on mixtapes. Yeah, no, we really did that. We really did that. And so I got classic records with Big T in the house tonight. He got Mo City done. We got different records that we go tour off of that are big before the mainstream. So my catalog, I have a classic catalog before the major deal. Yeah, that people sing word for word and zero the same way.
Starting point is 00:09:24 Like, so our career, man, it's some real historic shit. Hell yeah. Let's make some noise for you. On the beginning we started this shit, they were like, you better get zero. Like they were. Yeah, you have been fan requests. Yo, listen, your fans are very, very, very relentless. They're great.
Starting point is 00:09:46 They're crazy. They're very aggressive. They're very aggressive. We call them roguards. Throw heads. From the beginning, they thought we were dropping the ball by not having you on. Right. So let's talk about your fan base for a second.
Starting point is 00:09:59 How did you develop that? Man, targeting the people who didn't have shit. Okay. Talking to people who didn't have shit. I take a shot for that. Yeah, yeah. I take a shot for that with two. People that they have you.
Starting point is 00:10:13 Yeah, for real, for real, because that can motivate you. Because I was the people that didn't have shit. So, uh, right in my room. When I met Flip, they was kind of like trying to press us against each other. Really? Yeah, it was kind of like, I guess the two, I don't want to just pull everybody else up under us and say like, get up here. But it kind of was like that a little bit. So when I met him, they was like, I got 50,000 on Roe.
Starting point is 00:10:41 I got 50,000 on Flew trying to make us. They was trying to make us freestyle against each other and all that shit. So it was just, I don't know, man. I didn't have nothing. So I didn't want to get on those songs talking about, oh, I'm in this foreign or I'm in this dope-ass high ride. I was sleeping outside.
Starting point is 00:10:59 So I was doing music for the niggas who was sleeping outside. For the niggas who wanted to come inside. You know, for the niggas who was hungry, like your back growling now, you pass your stomach. So those people heard that, and it resonated.
Starting point is 00:11:14 And before I knew it, shit, I wouldn't pull no more. You know what I'm saying? and shout out to the road. He brought you inside. He brought me inside all the way to the top floor. So I watched a documentary the other day about Katrina. And one thing that I realized that Katrina affected you guys was most of the people that was left.
Starting point is 00:11:43 The people, yeah, the refugees of New Orleans. They came to the age. They came to the age. They came to the age. So can y'all describe that time for me? Because I, we had 9-11, right? New York. When New Yorkers left, New Orleans had Katrina,
Starting point is 00:12:05 but Katrina went and they visited Houston. I didn't realize how much it might have affected the Houston economy. Did that help the Houston economy or did they bring it down? I feel like it helped. I mean, there was more people at that. the shows, and we got a lot of Louisiana fans. Right. Like, even September 11th, I was supposed to be in New York on September 11th,
Starting point is 00:12:27 but at the last minute, I changed my mind. Wow. I was supposed to go talk to some labels, and then that happened. Right. But, like, when Katrina happened, the day before Katrina hit, I flew to New Orleans to do a meeting, greeting, I think I was in a, yeah, the superta... Wait, so you were in New Orleans?
Starting point is 00:12:43 The day before, what the fuck out of it? It was a company, a phone company called Altill. Oh, wow. They had gave me, like, $50,000 to do, like, two songs. And I went and did a meeting greet. And they were saying it wasn't going to be that bad. The storm was saying that before. So as I'm flying in, I didn't really know what was going on.
Starting point is 00:12:58 I'm like, why everybody at the gas stations, right? And they're like, why has the storm coming? Right. I'm like, shit. So we flying over. We do the meeting greet at the Superdome. At that time, I was doing business with Squared Up. Shout out the, you know, squad up, gutter, gutter, everybody.
Starting point is 00:13:12 And gutter, gutter, gutter, still my fam. So they came. They was like, yeah, man, we go ride this shit out, you know? And then we did the meet and greeting. I got on the jet. We flew in on the jet, flew back to Houston. The next day it hit. And we couldn't get in touch with nobody.
Starting point is 00:13:26 We couldn't get in touch with gutter nobody. And they just ended up in Houston. They're like, man, we're in age time. And, you know, so a lot of the little flipping squad up music. Right. Was made during the Katrina time. Oh, wow. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:41 Because I didn't even realize, I always knew, like, New Orleans and Houston. Because a lot of my neighbors, when I moved to Miami, a lot of my neighbors would drive to New Orleans and would drive to Houston. I'm like, who the fuck drives to Houston from Miami? And I didn't realize it's only like 13 hours away, right? But a lot of them resided during this time there. And I didn't realize how close it was and how much that you guys got affected. So, what's, like, when you, when you hear those different wards, what's the difference from the wards when you, when you describe, it's like Fifth Ward, because that's where, uh, uh, uh, ghetto boys is from, right? They're from Fifth Ward? Well, some of them. Okay. And New Orleans got awards, too. It's like, yeah. So, so what's the difference from the wards in Houston and the wards in, uh, New Orleans, if, if you can?
Starting point is 00:14:43 I mean, people got their own slang in their different ways. They hustle, but it's similar. You know, it's similar. Just people trying to get their money, you know, hustling, you know. We got third war, second world, your fifth war, you know. Fourth, yeah. But it's different hoods, same shit, man. People trying to get their money.
Starting point is 00:15:06 Right. And people hustling different things. Right. And only the strong survives. I'm taking a shot for that. Hey. Let's go. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Let's go. Solo. A little flip. Flip. Yeah. Big flip. Yeah. I feel like I knew you for quite some time.
Starting point is 00:15:27 And I feel like the most success you got, you never let this shit get to your head. That's something that I admire about you, right? Appreciate it. Like you always been a solid dude. You know why? I don't know why. The reason is, when you used to attention, you don't have to go out your way to get it. Right.
Starting point is 00:15:51 So I grew up doing talent shows. I grew up. My grandmother had a beauty shop. So I grew up being around nothing but women, right? Like, I had men, you know, father figures and grand in my life, but I'm saying, so they liked me for me. So I always was just being me. I ain't never have to be nothing different to get attention. So when you being yourself, shit, it ain't hard.
Starting point is 00:16:15 And I don't love money. You know what I mean? I feel God. Money love you? I don't know. I don't know. But it's attracted to me. You know, I don't know if they love me, but no fingerprints.
Starting point is 00:16:29 Yeah. I don't know. It stays coming, you know, like literally. So, you know, I just stayed me, bro. I ain't going to never let the money to fame what I got dictate, you know, making me feel like I'm better than you just because I got this. Right.
Starting point is 00:16:44 You know, shit. One bad deal, it can all be gone. It can all be gone. Yeah, so I just stay humble with this shit. But I know who I am. Yeah. Yeah. So, Zero, let me ask you,
Starting point is 00:16:56 this is a tough motherfucking game. A lot of us fold. A lot of us fold during this game. And what made you stay so solid? The rent. The rent? I wasn't ready I was not ready
Starting point is 00:17:17 That would inspire you to say something I mean I think I'm I think I'm pretty well versed at this shit But even more than that I got I got a lifestyle that I like to live And I'm not going back to the one before this one

But when we see each other, we go show love. I love Houston loyalty. We go turn up. But behind the scenes, hey, this guy want to book you, Roe. Hey, here goes some money.

And the smart ones... Recipe G's school. Yeah, man. Let's take a shot to that. Let's take a shot to that.
Starting point is 00:43:01 For real. Let me ask you something that might like throw off the situation a little bit. It's all good. We bill for it. In New York, we have Puerto Ricans, right? Okay. Puerto Ricans For the most part I want to say they
Starting point is 00:43:22 They think they black Or they Identify with being black Okay Mexicans is your version of Puerto Ricans Right He's the young Mexican rapper say nigger a lot
Starting point is 00:43:39 young Puerto Rican rappers when they said nigger back then I didn't take offense to it but now that I'm older I'm like I kind of like notice it maybe I don't take offense to it
Starting point is 00:43:57 but I notice it is that a problem with you guys like when you see a young 18 year old saying nigger nika nigga nika nika nika nika and he's Mexican
Starting point is 00:44:09 and technically he's not a nigger, right? Maybe he has the nigger influence, sorry. But if that man is cornered in the elevator with your great-grandmother, your great-grandmother is not going to identify with him using that word. Is that a problem for you guys or no? That's a deep question.
Starting point is 00:44:35 I killed that. I feel like my answer short. Like, for me, it don't offend me. I don't let words offend me. Okay. I mean, if it was to offend me, it would have to be said, you know, nigger. With the ER. With the ER.
Starting point is 00:44:50 But at the same time, I still don't let words offend me. Right. Me, personally. You feel what I'm saying? Yeah. It don't bother me, you know what I'm saying? But the ER might bother me. Okay.
Starting point is 00:45:05 I'm going to have to agree. I'm not going to let it bother me, per se. I kind of know, like, if it's a young person, they're going to get their turn to see that that's not appropriate. It's not appropriate. It's not appropriate. But the thing is, like how you say, they might be in a nigger environment.
Starting point is 00:45:33 Yeah. And I can't get mad at them because somebody else has been calling them a whole lot. So you ain't going to call the motherfucker a nigger unless you been getting called that shit. And it was probably like, damn, I'm a nigger. And it's probably the norm for that
Starting point is 00:45:49 person until they get to somewhere where the norm is getting fucked up for saying that shit. Because what I'm noticing is people who are not black. They've adopted it. Yeah, they adopted it
Starting point is 00:46:05 way more than black people. Yeah. And I at first was like, I was cool with it, but I'm not no more. Right. Like, I'm not, like, I actually point that out. Like, I seen a dude. Don't cry. Oh, I ain't going to cry. I'm going to take a shot.
Starting point is 00:46:25 Take a shot. Let's go. Let's go. I'm going to take a shot. Yeah, but. Are you having intervention with Boris, man? Absolutely. Boris.
Starting point is 00:46:34 Everyone, everyone, I'm having an intervention. invention, like what, what everybody who is affiliated to black people, but you're not black people, including Puerto Ricans, including Mexicans, including Mexicans, including, like, that's, my grandmother's not going to understand that you're a cool Mexican. my grandmother's not going to understand that you're a cool fucking Puerto Rican my grandmother's not going to understand that if we're in the elevator
Starting point is 00:47:11 and you call EFN, what's up, my nigga? Yeah. It's not, it's not, to me that's not cool. Now I'm 48 years old. I just had a birthday. Y'all can bring some noise for me.
Starting point is 00:47:31 You don't know how many times you was here about me. a nigga, though. I don't want to be, I don't want to be everybody nigga. I know you don't. And his was fucked up about this.
Starting point is 00:47:38 I got to tell you when you was my nigga though. Okay. The Wednesday bitch. The Tuesday bitch. I was talking to Wednesday business? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:46 Hey, man, that's, that's my nigger, man. That's, my nigger, man. You're really. You stay. You stayed. You said, you know.
Starting point is 00:47:57 I was going to get into my brother, you know. But, no, no, but it's real. Um, I, uh, America's divided right now. It's divided, but the dope part of this is a thing.
Starting point is 00:48:09 Even though, like, our great-grandm, you know, grandmothers and they live a certain way, times have changed. So it's on us to reprogram ourselves and not be brainwashed about what they try to tell us. Oh, you can't, you know, be successful if you don't go to college or you can't do this. You can't start out being a CEO. I did it. Right. Like, damn, that's real. For the beginning of my career, I've been a CEO.
Starting point is 00:48:31 That's weird. Most artists, like, they start off rapping. I'm under this guy. I'm under this guy. I started off as a CEO. That's real. So I always had a boss mentality. So it's on us to reprogram ourselves and not have to go by the old traditions
Starting point is 00:48:46 because a lot of the old traditions was based on what was going on back then. Right. Now, like, music is uniting people. Different races is coming together. Different people collaborating, different genres. Like, this shit is a blessing. You know what I'm saying? And that info's got to get passed down, too.
Starting point is 00:49:07 Exactly. It has to be passed down. So we just got to go. The OG's got to be OGs and keep passing it down. Exactly. And that's what we're here for. We ain't here telling the people to go do some dumb shit or go jeopardize your life or some dumb shit.
Starting point is 00:49:19 Like, if you listen to Kings of the South, too, like, we really on some grown men shit. Like, pay your bills. Watch out for fake homies. Like, look out for the people that's locked up that looked out for you. Like, we really on that motherfucker talking. It's about the message, you know what I mean? A lot of people, they're just rapping and they ain't really telling you nothing. We got some messages in there.
Starting point is 00:49:41 Like, we want you to make money. We want you to watch out for the snakes. We want you to take care of your kids. We want you to spend time with your kids. We want you to value your life. So we come on some righteous shit. But, you know, but if you play, then, you know, we got to show you the other side. But we're trying to stay in Christianmingle.com.
Starting point is 00:49:58 We're trying to stay in that mode. No, you gave me the alley-U. Because. Well, you're on Christianmingle.com? Come on. You're married, man. No, I'm on Christians. Right?

Starting point is 01:24:19 But give us stories or something, man. We fuck with both. But we're going to go with, I mean, we got to pick it. It's rap a lot. I mean, like, they showed us to Black Trent to how you got to do this. Look, look, let me tell you a story. I went to Funger in Middle School.
Starting point is 01:24:37 I went to middle school with a guy by the name of Cedric White, Tulo. He had a record with Scarface. Yeah, he was black. He had a record with Scarface called a Fonky Little Nigger, the Funky Little Brother. On Scarface album, I think it was called The World is Yours. So I was in middle school going to school with a guy named Touloulo who actually wrapped and had music videos with Scarface.
Starting point is 01:25:03 That's crazy. So he showed me like you can be a kid. It's attainable. You can be a kid and make some money. You dig what I'm saying? So yeah, no, it's always going to be, we're going to go with rap a lot.
Starting point is 01:25:15 And we got love for Swabhouse. We fuck with Abel, MJ, G, T,la, Mr. Mike, everybody, you know, all that. But, yeah, now, we got to pick rap a lot on that, man. What's you got? Both of them. I can't do it. Straight up.
Starting point is 01:25:29 I can't do it because I'm going to see Tony Drake at Houston's and I'm going to see Jay Prince at the boxing gym. Not for show. Got me fucked up. Shout out to both of them, man. Shut up.
Starting point is 01:25:44 Cash money or no limit? Might work keep the cup up. He's like, don't put the cup down. I'm going to go with both. They both brought shit to the game, man. I ain't go. You work with both of them? Both y'all?
Starting point is 01:25:59 Yeah, I work. repeat i did business with p i did business if you look at the movie baller blocking i'm in the movie it's a it's a scene where it's like a shootout or whatever and like c-node and the body boys they brought me up to i'm in the movie baller blocking like in the party scene and that was around the same time they had the cash money and the rough riders tour right so we was at a cash money party where they brought out plaques and binleys and i think it was like slim birthday and they all got like tattoos and dmx was there drag on eve like yeah so we got to go with both and and p he he spent money with me and in book shows and and we learned a lot like master p was the motherfucker who would
Starting point is 01:26:48 drop 20 albums in one month yeah no he was going crazy yeah no limit was wild with the album drops Independent or major label? Independent. I love to make a home. I'm going to say independent. Being with a major label gets you in, like, more markets and gets you more, like, exposure. Marketing in dollars, but behind you.
Starting point is 01:27:16 So it was cool for me to, you know, get the fan base and get the radio spins and get the contacts and be on TRL and the 106 in parks, you know what I mean? But at the end of the day, the person who keeps their context is the person who eats forever. You know what I mean? So being able to drop when you won't and don't have to go through this system and all that. So I prefer independent over being on a major, but I got what I need to get from the major. So when you was on the major, you was already thinking independent and grabbing these contacts. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:50 You knew I needed this. Even when I was on a major label, I never operated like I was on a major. label right like we still pressed up our own posters because you had already had that history for yourself correct right so we were still just moving like we wanted to move like it's a contact game like if you keep the contact and you travel and you get the promoters numbers and the artist's phone numbers you go eat forever yeah the saying is your network is your net worth that's what they say right all right i think we got the last one go ahead chigo loyalty or respect loyalty
Starting point is 01:28:27 respect yeah you you did that for drink you did that for drink chefs I mean I did that shit for my life no
Starting point is 01:28:39 that was fine yeah I did that for my life I prefer I prefer both some people like oh yeah I want the loyalty love
Starting point is 01:28:50 that's the best answer I want to respect I want to go because I'm going to talk a motherfucker if I hope fuck with you, I'll fuck with you. I ain't go half-ass fuck with you.
Starting point is 01:28:59 Like, if I fuck with you, we're going out a lot. You know what I mean? I don't do the half-ass shit, so yeah, I need both. What about you? Both of them. Damn, that means we got to take a shot. Yeah, go for a movie. Let me see.
Starting point is 01:29:16 It's a shot already. Hold on. It's shot o'clock. That's where. Let me ask y'all, come and from the mixtape game, right? I mean, I come from the mixtape game. I know both y'all come from the mixtape game
Starting point is 01:29:31 when it was analog. Right. This is how I feel like independent works. Out the trunk worked. Texas, the Bay, Miami, like the south. I think really is how we were able to like sustain ourselves selling music, you know?
Starting point is 01:29:50 How does that translate now in the digital world? Like, what's the difference for y'all right now? from that era with screwed mixtape, DJ screwing mixtapes to now, like, how does that translate? Yeah. It was more money back then, like selling hard copies or whatever, but working and staying a part of your craft and, like, not budging on your price, you know, keeping your mystique. Like, whatever your formula is, like, Roe got his own formula, what he does what works for him. I got my own formula, what works for me. So I just look at it like, we own some yin and yang shit.
Starting point is 01:30:37 We don't think the same all the time, but we think the same, like, 98% of the time. So we just do what our fans love from him. Like, like, the shit that his fans love from him. He does what he do, and I do the same thing. So it's just about not compromising who you are as a person and just really working. But what's the adjust of the change, though, like monetary? Like before you could literally sell it out the trunk, sell all these mixtapes. You could go platinum as a mixtape artist.
Starting point is 01:31:12 That's different now because it's streaming. So how does that, how did you adjust to that? Like, how do y'all adjusts in a market like Texas where that was big? We got a core following. Does it go to shows now more than anything? If you go to Facebook, he got a thing called Roeheads. Shout out to the Roeheads. Oh, that's the fans, right?
Starting point is 01:31:34 That's what they... No, I can't call them. No, I hear you. I don't like calling fans fans. I get that 100%. And then I got Flip Nation. And we just feed our people. They just believe in what we do, bro.
Starting point is 01:31:47 Like, we just do what we do at the pace we want to do. Right. So you do merch drops. we just unapologetically we be us we don't have to change who we are they love us for who we are we draw when we want to drive we move when we want to move and they appreciate it
