Orange County’s Jamboree Road is more than just a 15.8-mile stretch connecting cities like Newport Beach, Irvine, Tustin, and Orange—it’s a symbolic boundary line, a personal landmark, and the spiritual compass behind Drewbee Mane’s powerful new single, “Champion Way” featuring Nipsey Hussle.
Raised in the West Irvine neighborhood off Champion Way and Jamboree Road, Drewbee Mane grew up in a place where one crosswalk could land you in a different city. The invisible line between Irvine and Tustin wasn’t just about ZIP codes or jurisdictions—it represented dual identities, unseen struggles, and the constant balance between chaos and order, pressure and peace. These streets bore witness to his formative years—playing for the legendary Tustin Cobras in Pop Warner football, competing in Tustin National Junior Basketball (Tustin NJB), and grinding on the baseball diamonds of Tustin Eastern Little League.
But “Champion Way” is more than geographic nostalgia—it’s a declaration of identity and a celebration of perseverance. The track chronicles Drewbee Mane’s evolution from a young man immersed in street hustle to a spiritually grounded artist living with intention and integrity. His lyrics reflect a dual journey: one that honors his past, and one that leans fully into a purpose-driven future.
“Movin thru these streets I’m always in my own lane
Involved God in errythang I do and that’s the whole day…”
From trapping to transformation, Drewbee’s bars capture the pain of addiction, the triumph of sobriety, and the clarity of self-worth. The song marks over a year and four months of being clean—choosing growth over destruction, faith over fear, and authenticity over approval.
“Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice
1 year 4 months sober clean, off the will that’s me choice…”
What makes “Champion Way” even more profound is the presence of Nipsey Hussle—an artist, entrepreneur, and cultural icon whose ethos aligns perfectly with Drewbee Mane’s message. Nipsey’s legacy lives through the ideals of ownership, community leadership, empowerment, and the relentless pursuit of purpose. His “Marathon” mindset and “All Money In” principles have served as both a guide and a blueprint for Drewbee’s own mission.
“Peep the placement, blessed with Nip we Ricky Bobby shakin bakin
I keep raising the bar can’t do the 2nd place Clay Aiken…”
With sharp lyricism and unapologetic truth, Drewbee Mane elevates “Champion Way” beyond a song—it becomes a mantra. A reminder that champions aren’t defined solely by wins, but by endurance, by heart, by the willingness to get up every time life knocks them down.
This release is not just an anthem for Drewbee Mane’s roots; it’s a rally cry for anyone who’s ever fought for their own rebirth. For those who grew up misunderstood. For those reclaiming their name. For those walking the narrow path between two worlds, two cities, or two lives—and choosing greatness anyway.
“Champion Way” is where Drewbee Mane comes from.
And now, it’s where he’s going.
