Makebelieve is pleased to unveil an awesome new video-edit for the song “Back Up” by Dragon Fli Empire. The soulful beat by DJ Cosm provides a head-nodding backdrop for sharp social commentary by Teekay and Chicago emcees Qwazaar (of Typical Cats) and Thaione Davis. The video is the brainchild of London UK’s Solomon Caine, who has cooked up a clever edit from the animated series “Black Dynamite” to go along with the song. Dragon Fli Empire’s new album “Mission Statement” releases next week, Tuesday Nov. 5th.
Amazing new video for the title track from Teekay's compilation of Calgary hip hop Psyychology. Featuring A.Y.E. + DJ Cosm of Dragon Fli Empire and directed by Stefan.

Well, here's my contribution to answering that question... I've assembled a few of Calgary's finest to join me in rockin' some of the freshest beats I've ever produced. We're showcasing another element to Calgary (a.k.a. YYC). This is our psYYChology.
-Teekay We're excited to release the new single "Back Up" from our upcoming 4th album MISSION STATEMENT, featuring Chicago underground hip hop legends Qwazaar & Thaione Davis.
Whattup! Hope you're all enjoying the summer weather, it's time for an update on all things DFE. First things first, you may have heard our new single The Daily News Pt. 2 ft. Sadat X. It was the debut single from our upcoming album Mission Statement which will be releases in mid-July or early-August. We've also got a bunch of great shows coming up in Calgary, Edmonton, Banff and K-Country... make sure to check the Shows page for the latest. This includes gigs for some cool festivals including Sled Island, Fozzy Fest, BIG Festival, A Taste of Edmonton and more. And word to the banner above... we're getting more official with Makebelieve Records... we had to! There is too much material coming out from Teekay and Cosm individually. Check the site MakebelieveRecords.com for more info. Below you can listen to the fresh joint from Calgary duo Humble Giants "We Do It", produced by Teekay, which will be on his Calgary compilation album PsYYChology. Also, you can watch the video for the Éternel Cosmique (Infinito 2017 and DJ Cosm) joint How to Dominate... and don't forget to download the full album "Dope Fresh"! When veteran Chicago rapper/painter Infinito 2017 and DJ Cosm (of Canada's Dragon Fli Emipre) were both touring Europe, they were introduced to each other's music through a mutual friend in Paris. After building for a while, they decided to work on a project. The result is this 15 track collection of banging beats and rhymes. The project came together naturally because both artists share a passion for the creativity and individuality that many complain is lost in today's hip hop landscape. This album is a must have for those who love hip hop legends such as De La Soul and Common Sense.
