Canadian true-school hip hop duo Dragon Fli Empire (Teekay and DJ Cosm) are back with the first of several projects celebrating their upcoming 20th anniversary as a crew in 2022. Kicking things off is a new digital maxi-single featuring two fresh collaborations with artists from France. "To Be Continued" is a smooth, jazzy track contemplating the temptations of street life with a show-stopping solo from French trumpet player Alix Laran. The second song is the upbeat "Inspiration" featuring emcee Gassam aka GAS and singer Luc Nyamé-Siliki from Lyon, France. Teekay and Gassam trade energetic bars in English and French on this banger.  DJ Cosm returns to kick off 2021 with "Natural Within", the follow-up to his 2011 solo debut "Time and Space". Once again he's assembled a who's who of underground hip hop legends and up & comers, all who have received spins on his weekly radio show "Mental Illness" on CJSW in Calgary. This is fresh lyrics and head-nodding beats, nothing but the realness. Just listen.
Streaming Links: lnkfi.re/naturalwithin  DFE is back with an impressive new video, directed by the talented Oliver Banyard. "Overtime" is the second single from the 2020's "Banff Avenue" album. It's a head noddin' boom-bap banger produced by DJ Cosm with Teekay (aka Tarik Robinson) providing the smooth wordplay. The theme here is that DFE, almost 20 years in the game is still going strong, going into OT for more of the classic hip hop style they bring, which is harder to find these days.
 Banff, Alberta… a picturesque Western Canadian mountain town, famous for natural beauty, kitschy tourist shops and incredible nightlife. It’s this last attraction that provides the inspiration for Dragon Fli Empire’s newest opus, “Banff Avenue”. The two-man team of DJ Cosm and Tarik Robinson (aka Teekay) return with their first album since 2013’s “Mission Statement” and it’s a purely in-house effort with that 100% DFE formula of thumping, melodic beats by Cosm and Teekay’s smooth and intelligent wordplay. The chilled-out vibes on this album are the perfect musical remedy for the chaotic year that is 2020. Download and stream this incredible project (complete with instrumentals) today!
