Hollywood vibes anyone? Turns out movie superstar Kevin Hart is staying extra busy these days juggling business and marriage goals in a new Gran Coramino Tequila campaign alongside his wife Eniko Hart.
Kevin Hart’s ‘Hard Work Tastes Different’
It’s all about embracing the lavish life and the rewards of putting in work, work, work responsibly for Hart and Gran Coramino Tequila. Oh - and if you’re a massive fanatic of ‘The Sopranos’ and ‘White Lotus’ series, then you’ll also see Michael Imperioli showcasing his presence in the campaign.
Today, Gran Coramino Tequila has launched a new brand campaign with the debut of their anthemic film "Club Coramino," to celebrate their brand mantra, "Hard Work Tastes Different". The ultra-premium tequila brand launched in 2022, founded by comedian, entertainer, and businessman Kevin Hart and 11thgeneration tequila producer Juan Domingo Beckmann, and created with Global Brand Equities and Proximo Spirits.
"Hard Work Tastes Different" celebrates the ethos that Kevin Hart follows and mirrors his widely known position as the "Hardest Working Man in Hollywood." Gran Coramino was born from two creators at the top of their craft, joining together to create a Cristalino and Añejo tequila where their hard work is evident in every delicious sip.
"I live by the Gran Coramino value that 'Hard Work Tastes Different' and challenged my team to show that in the most epic way possible in our first brand campaign," said Kevin Hart. "The 'Club Coramino' film not only pays tribute to all the hard work that has gone into crafting and supporting Gran Coramino Tequila, but it is a reminder to everyone to celebrate our shared hard work and our resulting achievements."
The campaign pays tribute to the cinematic style of Goodfellas with an homage to one of the most complex scenes ever shot in cinematic history – the iconic one-shot date scene. The film stars Kevin and his wife Eniko Hart on their own date night, also features a surprise cameo from Michael Imperioli.
To bring this vision to life, Gran Coramino teamed up with director Sam Washington and Hartbeat, Hart's global, multi-platform entertainment company. The creative and production for the Club Coramino anthemic film was led by PULSE, Hartbeat's branded entertainment studio and marketing consultancy. Their shared vision for the campaign was to be aspirational, authentic, and inclusive – just like Gran Coramino. To shoot this difficult scene, they paid tribute to legendary clubs, by creating a sleek and exclusive nightclub named "Club Coramino." While working alongside distinguished cinematographer Federico Cantini, the team were able to successfully pay homage to the past in a creative modern way.
"I was honored to take on the challenge when Gran Coramino and Hartbeat contacted me about this iconic project," said Sam Washington. "Working with a comedy genius such as Kevin and a seasoned actor like Michael was incredibly exciting, but most importantly, I wanted to create a space and give them a working environment to do what they do best. While we wanted to fold comedy into this campaign, the challenge was to ensure that it aligned with the brand and the script in hand. It was an intricate scene to capture but we accomplished it through hard work."

Hollywood superstar Nick Cannon has plenty of things to talk about these days. The veteran hip-hop personality joined WFAN’s ‘Carton & Roberts’ to dish on everything from his personal life and new endeavors to one of the craziest pranks he received courtesy of fellow funnyman Kevin Hart.
From talking about Kevin to a new career move for veteran hip-hop artist MC Lyte, Cannon doesn’t hold back. Check out 4 huge reveals from 94.7 The Block’s Nick Cannon on WFAN Sports Radio’s Carton and Roberts show plus the full interview at the bottom.
1. On sharing recent losses and personal life with the world.
“I learn from guys like you, when it comes to the good, the bad, just lean into it. I didn’t have any of the answers, I still don’t…Even when it comes to T.V., radio, just broadcasting in general, I value it. It’s the most intimate form of entertainment.”
2. Surprising Kevin Hart with a llama, Kevin Hart putting his cell phone number on a billboard to get him back.
“He put my cell phone number on a billboard not just in one city, in six cities...but then he takes a picture of it and posts it to his 100 million followers. Now I’m getting calls at 5:00 a.m. from Nigeria… I still have the same cell phone number. Now it’s like a marketing device…If you’re going to be in a prank war, you’ve got to keep leaning into it. We documented many conversations wanting to wake me up at 4:00 a.m wanting to talk. After that, I pranked him back by wrapping my face on his private jet. He had no idea. It said, ‘Kevin rides the Cannon.’”
3. Being the new host of 94.7 The Block station. Confirms the female voice on the show is MC Lyte.
“I never left radio, but [did] the talk show at the same time. I’m stretching my wings in this day part from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. You get to be a little more real, and uninhibited. That’s the same form where you just get to be open. That intimate form where I don’t have to dress up, put on the fancy suits, [or] watch my mouth. On T.V., it’s more buttoned up. I’m a music lover, I’m a musician, I’m D.J., really back to my roots. The fact that we’re focusing on throwbacks and it’s like the golden era of Hip Hop. It’s a little bit more of who I am in the everyday practice…There’s not a check that I don’t like.”
4. On having eight kids, and if he will have more.
“All of them, the whole nation. Father’s Day is about to be exciting. Hopefully it's a day I receive, every other day is expensive. A lot of macaroni necklaces and construction paper string art…I don’t know. We should take a bet. Right now, I’m good. Never say never.”
Kevin Hart and Charlamagne Tha God are powering up Audible with new projects
It’s hard to deal with the fact everything comes with a premium price these days. Whether you want to check out Netflix and Hulu or stream your favorite tunes on Apple Music and TIDAL, there’s typically a pretty penny — at least — involved. However, Audible keeps making the argument for its content being worth your hard-earned money especially when Hollywood heavyweights Kevin Hart and Charlamagne Tha God are involved.

Kevin Hart and Charlamagne Tha God’s powering up Audible
According to a new Audible report, the leading creator and provider of premium audio storytelling, today announced a slate of new Originals produced under the previously announced global multi-year, multi-project development, production, and audio licensing deal with Hart and best-selling author Lenard “CThaGod” Mckelvey.

Award winning audio producer Nicole Shelton has been named Head of Production for SBH. The inaugural project from the duo, Finding Tamika, is slated for release March 3, 2022.

Additional projects include Summer of ’85, an incredible true story of the juxtaposition of two actual events – the Live Aid benefit for Africa which received global attention and the MOVE bombing of a controversial group of African-American citizens attempting to create African-style communal living in the middle of an urban landscape – both taking place in Philadelphia in the summer of 1985 but each event viewed differently by the city and around the world; Short, Black, and Handsome, a scripted Odd Couple style comedy written by Abdul Williams (The Bobby Brown Story, The New Edition Story) and starring Kevin Hart and Charlamagne Tha God about two fathers/husbands who become business partners and find out they have more in common than the title suggests;Un-lesh for Love, a scripted comedy series starring Alesha Renee about an actress looking for love in her 30’s; and Brokedown Prophets, a scripted thriller created and written by acclaimed New York Times Bestselling author,SA Cosby (Blacktop Wasteland, Razorblade Tears). Additional information on these projects to follow.
A lot more to come
It’s way deeper than new projects. A selection of ongoing audio recommendations personally curated by Hart and God are set to launch with this massive rollout. The head of Audible Studios, Hart and Charlamagne have dished on this massive power move.
“We are excited to introduce our listeners to the dynamic inaugural slate of content from our collaboration with Kevin Hart and Charlamagne Tha God’s SBH Productions,” said Zola Mashariki, Head of Audible Studios. “Audible is dedicated to telling powerful stories and showcasing established and underrepresented voices in audio, and SBH’s first collection of projects will offer Audible listeners rich, multifaceted narratives.”
“SBH has the opportunity to be a driving force and new creative outlet for our culture,” said Kevin Hart. “This vertical allows us to bring the voices of our community mases and to share our rich stories that run deep in our souls. I am excited to partner with Charlamagne, Nicole and the whole SBH team to bring these rich stories to the Audible original space.”
“SBH and Audible are at the forefront of the audio renaissance, often times TV and film companies don’t SEE the vision for these great stories by black creatives so they are hard to get made, said Charlamagne Tha God. “What Nicole, Kevin and myself along with the rest of team SBH have built is a space for these companies and the whole world to HEAR our vision. We thank GOD for it all!”
