Bad Habits with Cee & Notion
174 episodes - English - Latest episode: 6 days ago -Nobody knows the music industry - or more specifically, Hip Hop culture - more than the artists themselves, so it's only right that artists run the media side, too. Brothers - and MCs - Cee and Notion, born and raised in Australia and a decade in Canada, bring you their unfiltered opinions on all things Hip Hop culture, news and the business side, with some craft beer, too.

Episode #19 | 10 Years In Canada 🇨🇦 | Gladys Knight vs Patti LaBelle #Verzuz Battle, Conway, Alicia Keys + more
September 15, 2020 18:51 - 1 hour - 125 MBFor 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. We briefly ran through Auntiechella, the recent Gladys Knight vs Patti LaBelle #Verzuz battle, ...
Episode #18 | Biebs The God? | Joe Budden Spotify deal fiasco, SZA, Benny The Butcher, Big Sean + more
September 09, 2020 06:17 - 1 hour - 124 MBDahn 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 jawns from Curren$y and Harry Fraud, Santino Le Saint, G-Eazy x Mulatto, Bryson Tiller, Ari L...
Episode #17 | Equality Is Important | Brandy vs Monica #Verzuz, new Skip Marley, The Lox, RIP Chadwick Boseman
September 01, 2020 19:13 - 1 hour - 103 MBSometimes, we need a break. Cee, who hasn't been on a vacay in years, headed out east to the Gaspesie region of Quebec for a week and he didn't really consider the lack of quality internet service in the sticks. The live podcast was choppy and it even stopped like three times, but luckily the audio is offline so the fellas are sounding smooth as silk here, fam. This episode, they ran through the Brandy vs Monica #Verzuz battle which went down immediately before the podcast (3 full hours, t...
Episode #16 | Gangsta Broadway | Nas and Jay-Z drop the same week AGAIN, Sevana, Nao, Meg + Tory and more
August 25, 2020 18:25 - 1 hour - 112 MBAnother week, the same old bullshit. Police in Wisconsin shot Jacob Blake 7 times in the back a couple of days ago - Black lives STILL matter and this NEEDS to stop. Once we got that off our chests, we got into some more info about Jaguar Wright's accusations (this time against Summer Walker for being "touched"), Meg Thee Stallion admitting it was Tory Lanez who shot her, and the very odd Math Hoffa vs Method Man "battle" video. As far the new tunes, we got into cuts from Trey Songz, Headi...
Episode #15 | I Can't Stand The Rain | Jaguar Wright vs Common + Black Thought, Is Drake going Indie?, Travis Scott's Ghostwriter + more
August 18, 2020 18:57 - 1 hour - 117 MBThis week, it was business as usual, chatting about the Travis Scott ghostwriting controversy with Cyhi The Prince, we touched on the recent allegations against Common and Black Thought from Jaguar Wright, discussed Drake's new album name and pondered on the aftermath of Drake choosing to remain independent, if in fact, the rumours are true. As far as new slappers, we chatted about new videos from Curren$y x Harry Fraud, Kali Uchis x Rico Nasty, Jorja Smith, Drake x Lil Durk, Snoop Dogg an...
Episode #14 | GodDahn It | Rick Ross vs 2Chainz #Verzuz, Meg + Cardi B, Juice WRLD, DaBaby + more
August 12, 2020 01:48 - 1 hour - 140 MBSometimes, 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 artists, as well as passionately discussing their differing approaches to consuming music. As ...
Episode #13 | Drip Detour | New Beyoncé #BlackIsKing, Brandy, Burna Boy, Jorja Smith, Skip Marley + more
August 04, 2020 04:30 - 1 hour - 98.7 MBThis 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 about Usher vs Justin Timberlake or Mariah Carey vs Janet Jackson. Masks on, y'all. We also touch...
Episode #12 | UK Drill Flow | DMX vs Snoop #Verzuz, No Kanye? Album + New Music from J. Cole, Logic, Curren$y, Lupe and more
July 29, 2020 02:58 - 1 hour - 130 MBBack 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-by-play of the battle, we spoke about the Kanye West situation (no album, Kim breakup?), and ...
Episode #11 | Franchise Playa with Guest Co-Host Kevin Amougou (N.O.T.E.) | Tory Lanez + Meg, DMX vs Snoop #Verzuz, Blu & Exile + more
July 22, 2020 19:43 - 1 hour - 141 MBOne 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 up-and-coming artists, managers and producers, so much so that this was our longest podcast since...
Episode #10 | Lucozade Entanglement | Wayfair, Chance x Kanye, Will & Jada, Snoh Aalegra + more
July 14, 2020 20:15 - 1 hour - 101 MBHosting 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 trafficking scandal, Chance's problematic tweet defending Kanye West's presidential bid, Will an...
Episode #9 | Sonic Branding | Kanye For President, the Bubonic Plague, Pop Smoke, Freddie Gibbs vs Akademiks + more
July 07, 2020 18:31 - 1 hour - 103 MBThe 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-19 cases dropping in Canada, Royce da 5'9" and 50 Cent's birthdays, the Freddie Gibbs vs Akad...
Episode #8 | Your Mate | Jadakiss vs Fabolous #Verzuz, 6lack, G-Eazy, Burna Boy, Chromeo + more + more
June 30, 2020 17:08 - 1 hour - 108 MBCee 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 "Your Mate", where we let the people decide whose mate a certain individual is, along with runn...
Episode #7 | Warm Minimalism with Guest Co-Host Jonathan Emile | J. Cole vs NoName, Teyana Taylor, John Legend vs Alicia Keys #Verzuz, Beyoncé + more
June 23, 2020 17:03 - 1 hour - 117 MBNow 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, "Babylon Is Falling", with the god Maxi Priest dropping this Friday. We chatted about Jonathan's hi...
Episode #6 | Bad Habits Podcast with Cee & Notion: Talking Moistly | NBA, Dave Chappelle, + more
June 16, 2020 04:16 - 1 hour - 109 MBNot a lot has changed since the last podcast. Multiple Black men have been found suspiciously hanging from trees in the south, a man was shot in the back and killed by police in Atlanta, and a young Black girl who used her voice in the #BlackLivesMatter protests was sexually assaulted and found dead in Florida. Same shit, different week. Once we wrapped talking about the state of the world, we got into whether it's a good idea for the NBA to come back, the upcoming Alicia Keys and John Leg...

Episode #5 | Bad Habits Podcast with Cee & Notion: Keep It Two Virgils | Protests + Run The Jewels New LP "RTJ4"
June 09, 2020 05:55 - 1 hour - 107 MBAnother week and things haven't changed so much. The world is restless, with protests popping up across the planet for equality for all humans, which is a genuinely beautiful thing. Last week, we observed #AmplifyMelanatedVoices, we stopped posting, and just read, listened, and learned. This week, we felt it was important to continue the conversation and run through some of the key events that went down since the last episode. We discussed the Seattle shooting, the defunding of the Minneso...

Episode #4 | #BlackLivesMatter | Gospel #Verzuz, and new music from Ro James, Freddie Gibbs x The Alchemist and more
June 02, 2020 04:43 - 1 hour - 99 MBThe world is in a state of change right now. Our Black brothers and sisters across the globe have been terrorized by authorities for decades, centuries even, and over these past weeks the tension boiled over with the cold-blooded murders of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd at the hands of police officers. Hip Hop is a culture created by African Americans so we wanted to ensure we covered these recent events and shine some light on what's happening in North America and beyond. ...
Episode #3 | Too Old To Rap?
May 26, 2020 05:48 - 1 hour - 98.6 MBThis weekend was jam-packed with #Verzuz battles, with the most entertaining battle to date with dancehall legends Beanie Man and Bounty Killer (live from Jamaica with the best wifi of the whole series), and R&B powerhouses 112 and Jagged Edge. We ran through a bunch of great new music (what a weekend for fire singles), and got into ageism in Hip Hop. Do rappers who aren't 21 even matter? Is "grown people rap" a sub-genre? Do you even think about the age of the artist you're listening to? ...

Episode #1 | Long Story Short
May 12, 2020 05:32 - 2 hours - 284 MBYou know how everyone in quarantine is starting a podcast right now? We joined the club, but to be fair, we've been wanting to do this forever. For the inaugural Bad Habits podcast with TMF's own Cee and Notion, the boys gave the first ever in-depth run down of their entire music history for the entire first hour, and then kicked off the second hour with discussions about the Versuz battles, new music they're digging from the past couple weeks, Bandcamp's monthly fee waiver, and a lot more...
