Episode 106: Speakerboxxx, The Love Below, and a Fat Bastard

Author: Wine and Hip Hop April 11, 2025 Duration: 33:54

In this episode, Wolf of Wine brings his creative journey full circle with the final wine and hip-hop pairing from his Fat Bastard Wines collaboration: Fat Bastard Chardonnay paired with OutKast’s Speakerboxxx/The Love Below.

After weeks of tastings, storytelling, and creative blocks—including the ongoing struggle not to default to an Ol’ Dirty Bastard track—Jermaine shares how this pairing came together through inspiration, music, and deep appreciation for both wine and culture.

Listeners will get a behind-the-scenes look at how the bold, expressive Chardonnay from France’s Languedoc region mirrors the duality and innovation of the OutKast album. From the wine’s ripe fruit and smooth texture to the album’s genre-bending brilliance, this episode dives into how the worlds of wine and hip-hop reflect and elevate each other.

What to expect:

  • A breakdown of the Fat Bastard Chardonnay and its regional roots

  • A track-by-track connection to Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

  • Insights from Jermaine’s creative process and pairing philosophy

  • The final chapter in a campaign that blends bold flavor with bold sound

This is the one he’s been building toward. Tune in to hear how it all came together.


In each episode of Wine And Hip Hop, host Jermaine Stone-an Emmy and James Beard Award-nominated personality-curates a unique conversation that lives at the intersection of culture and taste. This podcast brings together hip-hop artists and wine professionals for a dialogue that is as fluid and surprising as a great freestyle. The format is elegantly simple yet rich with discovery: a guest brings a meaningful song or a chosen bottle of wine to the table, and Jermaine selects the perfect counterpart. What unfolds is an organic, informative, and deeply entertaining discussion about the connections between a beat and a Bordeaux, a lyric and a vintage. The conversation explores personal stories, the craftsmanship behind both art forms, and the sensory experiences they evoke. It’s not about rigid rules or pretentious pairings, but about the shared passion and creativity that fuel hip-hop and winemaking. Listeners are invited into a space where expertise meets personal narrative, revealing how a track can change the taste of a wine and how a wine can deepen the feeling of a song. This is a podcast for the curious, for those who appreciate the layers in a complex blend or a masterful verse, and for anyone who believes the best moments are often accompanied by the right sound and the right glass.
