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 up-and-coming artists, managers and producers, so much so that this was our longest podcast since the OG.

After Kev put us all on game, we ran through the Tory Lanez and Meg Thee Stallion situation and touched on the DMX and Snoop Dogg #Verzuz battle this week, while getting into new music from THEY x Tinashe, Grace Carter x Jacob Banks, Ellie Goulding, Joey Badass, Lupe Fiasco, Tinashe, Mariah Carey, IAMNOBODI, Wyclef Jean, Blu & Exile, DJ Khaled and Drake. Respect.

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 trafficking scandal, Chance's problematic tweet defending Kanye West's presidential bid, Will and Jada's entanglement, and new music from Snoh Aalegra, THEY x Sandel, Russ, Kaytranada x Lucky Daye, Kid Cudi x Eminem, Summer Walker, Baby Rose, Black Thought, Warren G x Ty Dolla Sign, James Blake, Elijah Blake, Emeli Sandé, Jeru The Damaja, Juice WRLD, Kanye West and Roddy Rich. Bless up.

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-19 cases dropping in Canada, Royce da 5'9" and 50 Cent's birthdays, the Freddie Gibbs vs Akademiks beef, some Netflix recos, the new Black Thought EP announcement, and new music from Pop Smoke, Kanye West ft. Travis Scott, Ty Dolla Sign, Ellie Goulding, Lil' Wayne, Russ, Buddy ft. Lucky Daye, Westside Gunn and the Drake leak. Bless up.

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 "Your Mate", where we let the people decide whose mate a certain individual is, along with running through new music from 6lack, G-Eazy, The Game + Nipsey Hussle, Usher, Tinashe x THEY, Burna Boy, Jonathan Emile + Maxi Priest, 11:11, and Chromeo. Reminder: Bandcamp are waiving their fees this Friday July 3rd, so make sure you support your fave artists. Salute.

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, "Babylon Is Falling", with the god Maxi Priest dropping this Friday.

We chatted about Jonathan's history, the Kendrick Lamar controversy, his pivot to reggae, and how this new album came together. But we also chatted about the Alicia Keys vs John Legend #Verzuz battle, the J. Cole and NoName situation, and new music from Teyana Taylor, Beyoncé, H.E.R., Anderson.Paak, THEY, Skyzoo, along with Tiny Desk at Home performances by KIRBY, PJ, and Alicia Keys. Good times.

Not 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 Legend #Verzuz battle, our Top 5 Drake albums, Dave Chappelle's amazing new mini-standup special "8:46" in the wake of the George Floyd murder, and we ran through new music by RMR, Jorja Smith, YG, Teyana Taylor, Jack Garrett, Chloe x Halle, G-Eazy, Lil' Baby, Eric Bellinger and James Morrisson. Bless.

Another 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 Minnesota PD, Virgil Abloh's donation, how to be a good ally, we shouted out some of our favourite artists that taught us about social justice and reviewed new music including Run The Jewels, Lil' Wayne, IAMDDB, Meek Mill, Trey Songz, Lucky Daye, G-Eazy, and Pharoahe Monch x Styles P. Stay safe, y'all.

The 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.

While the #BlackLivesMatter portion was the bulk of the episode, we touched on the first gospel #Verzuz from the weekend and ran through some new releases, along with looking at Phonte's question as to whether Joe Rogan's Spotify deal will cause artists to require a fee to appear on podcasts. Stay safe, y'all.

This 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?

The boys are back again for the second episode of Bad Habits, this time they're settling into how things are gonna go moving forward.

It was a jam-packed line up of topics - they break down the Ludacris and Nelly Verzuz battle and go track-for-track to determine a winner, they run through some of the new music released this past weekend, and discuss in-depth about what success looks like in Hip Hop in 2020. Salute.
