Bad Habits with Cee & Notion

This was the third-to-last episode of 2020, y'all. We've really focused on just shooting the shit and keep it authentic for y'all, so hopefully you guys are digging it. The WhatD'YaReckon segment was a ton of fun, with Notion's questions killing it, while we touched on the Ashanti vs Keyshia Cole Verzus battle this coming Saturday, and Chance The Rapper's legal woes with his former manager, Pat Co...

Call us Champagne Papi, fam, coz we just hit Episode 30 on the 30th! The fellas got right down to business, as always discussing THC beverages and myrcene, and they got into a fun round of WhatD'YaReckon?, the recently-released Grammy nominations, Bandcamp waiving fees again this Friday December 4th, the Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr. fight (and Logan Paul vs Nate Robinson), and Dave Chappelle's Chap...

Back on our guest co-host grind, and this episode is extra special. On Friday November 20th, Cee released his latest collaborative EP with producer Smokewell, who also goes by D-Cipher on the mic, "bye toxic city!" Smoke came through to hang with the squad, we ran through his rapping and production history, plus the fellas broke down how the EP came about, they talked through each song and shed so...

The new format is rocking heavy in this episode - we finally got into the swing of it and tings is moving, fam. We kicked off with an unintentional promo for THC beverages and all things cannabis (shouts Tweed, Houseplant, Mollo - holla!), before Notion delivered some FIRE WhatD'YaReckon? questions, and then moved into our top songs and projects of the week. We talked about artists like Joseph Sol...

The day before the podcast it was Notion's born day, so mans had to celebrate with a brand new format and ting. We ran through a new segment called WhatD'YaReckon spearheaded by Dahn, talked about the US election results and Trump's fascist aspirations, and heard stories about Cee getting his rap tapes ganked by his parents as a kid. The music side of things took a bit of a backseat this week, but...

It's been like a month but the boys are back for dolo! After four amazing weeks of phenomenal guests, it's back to our regularly scheduled program. The fellas got into the specifics of what exactly constitutes a classic album and rattle off some of the projects that are most likely to be considered a classic across Hip Hop, Neo-Soul and Alt-R&B. They also touched on the Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr...

There ain't too many MCs who are equally as passionate about craft beer, so when Cee connected with J/o/e for the "Hazy (Dope & Dank Remix)" back in 2017, it was a rare moment. Hailing from Fort Worth, Texas, J/o/e has been active for a decade and a half, and today (Tuesday October 27th), he drops his latest project, the "4 Pack" EP. We got into J/o/e's background coming up in Texas as an MC, how...

As an artist, having a tight-knit team of creatives who believe in you, who understand you and who share your vision is one of the valuable things you could ever have. Photography, designer and creative Joshua Telfer has been with TMF since our beginnings in Canada, taking care of a lot of the creative direction for Cee's cover art and photographer from the jump of his solo career, right up until...

We're on a guest co-host roll right now. Over the past few weeks, we've been talking about the new singles from the homie Rock Abruham, an MC and producer out of Washington, D.C. On Friday, his second solo album "From The Mud" finally dropped, so it was the perfect time to chop it up. We got into his eclectic history with rap, how he got into craft beer, he told some real street stories, and we di...

It's been a minute between guests, but this week we brought in good friend of the podcast Braden Herrington. Braden is the host of the NxtUp Podcast that focuses on pro wrestling, and the man is also a talented producer who has worked a lot with the squad. We got into Braden's podcasting and production history, how he flexes Patreon to pay his bills, and a whole lot more. Braden co-hosted proper,...

Mans is back at it. This week, we talk about Bandcamp waiving their fees this Friday October 2nd yet again, Jaguar Wright questioning Mary J. Blige's sexuality (get this woman some help fr), we get in-depth on Tory Lanez' new LP "Daystar" regarding the Megan Thee Stallion situation, plus we debut the Low Key Find Of The Week segment along with Notion's Gab Time and Dahn's UK Corner Innit.  When it...

Twenty episodes deep. Man, time is truly flying this year. Thank you to everyone who has been tuning in, watching the lives, peeping the audio and subscribing/rating/reviewing the podcast. Appreciate y'all. This week, we did a deep dive into Kanye's industry tweets, breaking down how typical contracts work and how Kanye believes the industry should be moving forward (he's right). As far as the mus...

For those who have been following the journey before the podcast, September 13th  + 14th respectively were Notion and Cee's 10 year anniversary of being in Canada. It's been quite the rollercoaster ride, from touring and charting to losing family and dealing with immigration, it's been nothing short of interesting and they're both extremely blessed to be here in the greatest country in the world....

Dahn is back!! After 4 long weeks away, our very own Google specialist is home safe, COVID-19-free and back in action. You don't know what you got 'til it's gone, as the kid Q-Tip say. This week was a great return to form for the fellas, going deep into the Joe Budden Podcast's Spotify deal situation, and saluting Mac Miller's second anniversary of his passing. As far as the music, we got into new...

Sometimes, we need a break. Cee, who hasn't been on a vacay in years, headed out east to the Gaspesie region of Quebec for a week and he didn't really consider the lack of quality internet service in the sticks. The live podcast was choppy and it even stopped like three times, but luckily the audio is offline so the fellas are sounding smooth as silk here, fam. This episode, they ran through the B...

Another week, the same old bullshit. Police in Wisconsin shot Jacob Blake 7 times in the back a couple of days ago - Black lives STILL matter and this NEEDS to stop. Once we got that off our chests, we got into some more info about Jaguar Wright's accusations (this time against Summer Walker for being "touched"), Meg Thee Stallion admitting it was Tory Lanez who shot her, and the very odd Math Hof...

This week, it was business as usual, chatting about the Travis Scott ghostwriting controversy with Cyhi The Prince, we touched on the recent allegations against Common and Black Thought from Jaguar Wright, discussed Drake's new album name and pondered on the aftermath of Drake choosing to remain independent, if in fact, the rumours are true. As far as new slappers, we chatted about new videos from...

Sometimes, you get used to something and then when it's taken away, you really notice the absence of it. Dahn went to Italy to visit his girlfriend (must be nice), so Notion and Cee had to Google everything themselves. Life is hard. The boys went through a play-by-play of the Rick Ross vs 2Chainz #Verzuz battle, as well as chatting about Cardi B ditching her management and what that means for big...

This week, the big focus was someone we don't typically talk about on the podcast - Beyoncé. While she isn't a huge fave of ours, her latest visual album, #BlackIsKing, is BRILLIANT. It's one of the most gorgeously shot pieces of art we've ever seen, so we had to spend a solid chunk of the episode analyzing it. We also touched on the upcoming 2Chainz vs Rick Ross #Verzuz battle, and daydreamed abo...

Back on our dolo grind, this week it was all about the DMX vs Snoop Dogg #Verzuz battle. Arguably the most entertaining head-to-head since Beanie Man vs Bounty Killer, the two top dogs, in what appeared to be an extremely lopsided battle on paper, went at it in a phenomenal display of legends showing love while celebrating their respective catalogues. Incredible stuff. Once we got through the play...

One of our goals with this podcast was to share both our knowledge of the music industry, but also some gems from friends in the game. Artist Manager Kevin Amougou of Next One To Enjoy has been homies with Cee for the better part of a decade, and he's had great success in the industry with French producer MEM's and R&B chanteuse Shay Lia. Kev came through to guest co-host and drop nuff jewels on u...

Hosting a podcast is tough enough, but add in the regular need to fact check and find stuff out and it's a bit of a nightmare - so we brought in our very own podcast assistant, Dahn, all the way from the UK to help us moving forward. We had some audio issues this time but next week, Dahn's mic will be proper and good to go. This week was a bit of everything - we touched on the Wayfair child sex tr...

The days and time are blending together so much that Cee totally forgot that he had a Live podcast. Happens to the best of us. In this episode, there were no #Verzuz battles to speak of, but we still had a whole lot of nonsense going on in the world. The fellas got into Kanye West's presidential bid (or at least the claim of it), the Bubonic Plague making a comeback in Inner Mongolia, China, COVID...

Cee and Nosh are back at it for dolo again. The Jadakiss and Fabolous #Verzuz battle went down right when we were supposed to go live, so we pushed for a couple hours just so we could be the first podcast to talk about the battle at length. We ran through the battle song-by-song, discussed Kiss's hilarious intoxication, and for us, a clear winner was decided. We also debuted a new segment called "...

Now that we rocked 6 episodes for solo, it's time we brought in a homie. Jonathan Emile is basically the third brother to us, he's an extremely talented Reggae + Hip Hop artist, serial entrepreneur, producer, actor, and activist. His latest album "Spaces-In-Between" was released via Bob Marley's legendary Tuff Gong International and his own label MindPeaceLove, and he has a brand new single, "Baby...
