Bad Habitat is the hiphop equivalent of The Three Musketeers, with the swagger of a young Rat Pack, and a style all their own. They consist of two emcees (Flawless and Dru-Manchu of the northwest mega-collab The Surrealest) and one dj (DJ Cuttah of Trifekta notoriety), with a little assist from long time local staple and well respected emcee/battle rapper Damian Grey (aka Trafek of Trash Heap) from the Northwest region of The United States of America located on the planet Earth in the Milky Way Galaxy in the positive matter universe (just in case you’re lost…)
In it’s short time as a group Bad Habitat has had the opportunity to share the stage with an impressive list of indie and mainstream hiphop acts including Slick Rick The Ruler, The Beatnuts, Rahzel, Canibus, Abstract Rude, Noah 23, Digital Underground, members of Oldominion including Sleep and Josh Martinez (The Chicharones), Pale Soul, and Grayskul (of Rhymesayers Entertainment), My-G, members of Living Legends, Braille, Cool Nutz, and members of Sandpeople, (amongst many others…) With at least 3+ years of experience behind each member (over a decade in Damian’s case…), Bad Habitat is steady holding it down for Northwest hiphop. The group stands poised to make a major impact as they quickly grow into a significant force to be reckoned with, stealing shows and new fans at every venue they appear. Evolving into a close knit family unit from a loose trio of like-minded artists, Bad Habitat formed early in the summer of 2008, with Damian Grey joining a few months after.
Bad Habitat’s live show has garnered much acclaim from local promoters, perfomers, and fans alike, and has been described as one of the best kept secrets of the Northwest hiphop scene. But you don’t have to take my word for it… check them out live for yourself! Upcoming shows are updated frequently. Bad Habitat can be found on stage multiple times in any given month, often performing almost weekly. These hungry and driven artists have even gone as far as rocking 2 shows at different locations in a single night! We stay busy!
In addition to an endless onslaught of upcoming shows, be on the watch for the debut mixtape, “Swaggadocious”, coming soon, and the official album, “Scissor Tree” shortly after.
