Bad Habits with Cee & Notion

After a two week break, the fellas are back with the first episode of 2022 - reviewing the best of 2021. They were supposed to do the first ever all in-person ep in Toronto over the holidays but Cee got the flu and we had to take a couple weeks off. As we did for 2020, we ran through some of the best elements of 2021, including rap songs and albums, R&B songs and albums, the biggest disappointment...

For the penultimate episode of 2021, Cee and Notion held it down sans Dahn yet still ended up talking about punchy fighty sports. They touched on the recent passing of West Coast MC Drakeo The Ruler, the new Dr. Dre x Eminem music from the Grand Theft Auto expansion, the new Marsha Ambrosius x Dr. Dre project "Casablanco", the new supergroup with Lloyd Banks, Dave East and Vado, and an extended se...

The pod was a little delayed this week due to a flooding in Cee's apartment and the associated headaches, but we made it happen for y'all. This week, we ran through the Ye and Drake show in LA for Larry Hoover, we reviewed Russ's "Chomp 2" project, we discussed toxic masculinity and the benefits of being able to make fun of yourself, we shouted out Aussie-in-Canada Mikhail Laxton, and of course, w...

Mans are back in MTL and the big debate of the moment was discussed - what's the worst meal (breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner) and is a hotdog a sandwich? In lesser important news, they chat about the brawl at Verzuz between Bone, Thugs 'N' Harmony and Three 6 Mafia, Erykah Badu has a fiancé 23 years her junior, Drake withdrawing all of his 2022 GRAMMY nominations, Lizzo thirsting for Drake, and...

We woke up on Sunday November 28th to the news of Virgil Abloh's passing, and had to dedicate the episode to one of the most influential members of the culture of our era. Alongside showing love to a man who changed the game in so many industries, we touched on Drake and Kanye West's reunion at a party in Toronto, we ran through the R&B and Hip Hop GRAMMY nominations for 2022, and we had to make t...

Mans are back in the building, and even a few technical difficulties ain't gonna stop us. We got into a bunch of stuff, including whether we get down with Black Friday deals, the Adidas Confirmed Yeezy drop in Canada, StockX and the Yeezy x GAP collab, the murder of Memphis rapper Young Dolph, Will Smith's new movie "King Richard" dropped, the Chaka Khan and Stephanie Mills Verzuz, the upcoming Th...

Welcome back, Dahn! This week, we switched up the format for a bit to keep this thing more conversational. The fellas got into what Dahn has been up to, Jay-Z's The Black Album's 18th anniversary today, the two Verzuz events (Chaka Khan vs Stephanie Mills and Three 6 Mafia vs Bone, Thugs & Harmony), Kanye West's Drink Champs appearance and disses towards Talib Kweli, Big Sean and John Legend, the...

For the third and final episode of RELENTLESS: UNPACKED series for Season 2 of the podcast, we kicked it the visual genius behind the majority of TMF's video work, "King" Richard Bastarache. For Rich's debut pod appearance, we figured that just like on Episode #2 with Joshua Telfer, we should run through the history of work Rich has done with Cee and Notion to set the scene for the "Relentless" vi...

For the second episode of RELENTLESS: UNPACKED, we hung out with the creative director of the project, photographer, artist, illustrator and woodcarver, Joshua Telfer. In his second time on the pod, we gave y'all the history and ran through the TMF catalogue with Josh, from Cee's early mixtapes to his logos, from every major album from Cee and Notion to our first (and only) studio shoot and our pr...

UNPACKED is a brand new season of Bad Habits where we deep dive into our projects with the key players - kicking off with three episodes on Cee's sophomore album, "Relentless", that dropped on Friday, October 22nd. The entire album was produced by Toronto-via-Montreal's Myer Clarity, a long-time collaborator and tourmate of TMFs, so we brought Myer in to reminisce about how the album was put toget...

The fellas are back at it, celebrating the release of Cee's new Reggae-meets-Hip Hop single "Let Justice Prevail" featuring Victoria, BC via Tobago's Caleb Hart this week. Alongside the long-awaited "Relentless" release next week, they chatted about the Big Daddy Kane vs KRS One Verzuz that was kicking off during the recording, Kanye performing at a lavish wedding in Venice, Italy, Eminem's birthd...

Seventy episodes deep, y'all. Thank you for rocking with us, it means a lot fr. This episode, Cee and Notion dig into Notion's brand new single "Place I Know" (link below), Smokewell's "The Northern Lights Tape" featuring both Cee and Notion, Adele's new single teaser "Easy On Me", the Big Daddy Kane and KRS One Verzuz battle, the upcoming beef-squashing Eminem and Snoop collaboration, the 2022 Su...

Cee and Notion held it down once again while Dahn is gallivanting around the British Isles, and she was a beaut of an episode. After discussing their old Aussie haunts from their early 20s, the fellas talked about Squid Game on Netflix, Mike Tyson's Hotboxin' podcast episode with Freddie Gibbs, the new Summer Walker LP, Kanye trademarking "Donda" for a tech gadget line, the cypher that never happe...

Dahn is still lampin' in the UK, so Cee and Notion held it down dolo once again this week. Cee showed off his new Yeezy Foam Runners and Slides, they sent love to AJ Johnson (RIP), they discussed the Little Brother vs ABB Records issue, Drake on Drink Champs, Elon Musk and Grimes ending it, the R. Kelly trial, the Netflix Kanye West documentary "Jeen-Yuhs", Kanye West and Mike Dean Executive Produ...

Cee and Notion had to rock it as a duo this week as Dahn is travelling, but they held it down without the youngblood. The fellas went through some more pitfalls of being an independent artist, how many stems are typically in a session for a song, the whole drama with Karen Civil, Jessie Woo and Joyner Lucas, we reviewed the Fat Joe and Ja Rule Verzuz, and a whole lot more.   For the tunes, we chat...

For the second week in a row, Cee came through with a single from his "Relentless" project, this one coming with a visual. Stay Woke, y'all. We chatted about the scuffle between Conor McGregor and MGK, Top Boy Season 4, the new Headie One album, nude bike rides in Melbourne, funny slang, house plants, and the intricacies of the lives of immigrants.   With the music, we got into new tunes from Maxo...

It's been a raining epic releases this month, and finally, Drizzy came through and dropped his long-awaited project "Certified Lover Boy" to varying critical reviews. The fellas went in-depth with CLB, the drama, the disses, the mid-ness, everything. They also got into a new slang segment, a new segment reviewing classic albums from different areas, and a bunch more drunken shenanigans. Oh yeah, C...

It's finally here. Kanye West's long-awaited tenth studio album arrived on Sunday August 29th, so we dedicated this episode to a full, in-depth review. We even got into some potential "Donda" roll-out conspiracy theories, which are hectic but plausible, and we touched on Ye's official name change. We also got into the celebrity deaths that affected us the most and which celebrity we'd love to cook...

Not only was there no Donda and no CLB this week, but Kanye and Drake are actively beefing. What a time. The boys yapped about Aaliyah's "One In A Million" finally hitting streaming, Kendrick Lamar announcing his final album on TDE, what our custom McDonalds meal would be, some old man weather ish (ain't it humid out?) and a ton more.   As far as the tunes, we got into bangers from Millyz, Eternia...

Another week, no Donda and no CLB. But we must keep pushing and praying to the Rap Gods. This week, we talked about Cee's new music and album coming soon ("I Got Next" featuring Myer Clarity + Notion drops September 3rd, and "Stay Woke" drops September 10th), ride-on lawnmower video games, Tory Lanez' NFT, tennis, volleyball with feet and more. Music was crackin' yet slow this week, with jawns fro...

Tonight was hot and stinking, so we brought the cool breeze to the pod. This week, we got into The Lox and Dipset Verzuz (Jadakiss the MVP), the Kanye West "Donda" listening party part 2, Yeezy Day and Cee's Ls, and an Overrated/Underrated covering fast food, dessert, pineapple on pizza and more. The music was kinda dry this week, but there were some slappers from Nas x HitBoy, J/o/e, Tinashe, Abs...

We three fifths to 100! Epic. This week, we ran through the Royce Da 5'9" and Lupe Fiasco battle, discussed why Vanilla Ice is making music with Kodak Black, next week's impeccable releases (Kanye West - Donda, Nas x Hitboy - Kings Disease 2, Drake - Certified Lover Boy), DaBaby's homophobic comments and repercussions, the Dipset and The Lox Verzuz and a lot more. The music was dope this week, wit...

Fresh off a 4 week break, the boys are back in business! We initially intended to take two weeks off but man, July was wild. As the world opens up, it feels like it made sense for us all to chill for a bit and soak up the summer. This ep, we caught y'all up on all the crazy shit that went down in the past month - RIP Gift of Gab and Biz Markie, Bill Cosby got released from jail, we had Soujah Boy...

This ep was a ton of fun - we got into inspiration vs copying in the music industry, Roc-A-Fella suing Damon Dash over the "Reasonable Doubt" NFT, Dr. Dre producing a Marvin Gaye biopic called "What's Going On?", Kendrick Lamar's "good kid, m. A.A.d. city" album being in the charts for 8 years straight, are Beyonce and Vampire Diaries overrated, and more wild ass stuff. Music-wise, it was poppin'...

Since we're back in guest mode, we figured let's keep it moving. The longtime homie Myer Clarity, producer of Cee's upcoming album "Relentless", swung by to hang with the fellas to chat about his new project "Tour Support" with Boney Washington, he gave us his musical history, why he chose to play the keys, some tour stories and a lot more. We also got into some news - Tyler, The Creator's album r...
