Newer generations might know N.O.R.E. best as the host of the popular Drink Champs podcast, but real hip-hop heads remember the Queens artist for his rapping exploits. Teaming up with Fat Joe, N.O.R.E. serves up a reminder of his rap prowess with "Don't Know," the latest single from his imminent 5E album.

Released July 19,  N.O.R.E.'s Reazy Renegade-produced latest single begins with a hardbody hook from Don Cartagena, who offers up some boasts in a hook plucked right from peak early-2000s hip-hop. "Tell me something I don't know/Like when this shit drop whole game in a chokehold," Joe spits on the chorus.

From there, we get three verses from N.O.R.E., who hits the track with a ton of hunger as he unleashes a barrage of boasts. "My wrist watch is like a brake light, and you can get it right on your grave site/So tell me something I don't know, $50 pizza when I'm eating in SoHo," he spits on the track.

N.O.R.E.'s 5E is all set to drop this Friday (July 27), and with features from Tory Lanez, Pharrell, The-Dream, Jadakiss and more, it's looking like a winner. It also doesn't hurt to get production from Swizz Beatz and Pharrell, the latter of whom played a major role in N.O.R.E.'s debut LP.

Check out "Don't Know" below.
