(((BIOGRAPHY)))
Dragon Fli Empire is on the rise. The Calgary based duo, comprised of Cosm (DJ, producer) and Teekay (emcee, producer) have quickly become one of the city's more popular groups, gaining respect from a wide variety of music lovers for their upbeat, melodic and positive sound.
It all started in May 2002. What was originally supposed to be a side-project for both of the DFE members grew into something bigger than ever dreamed, largely due to the popularity of the track "Mount Pleasant" (which has become a Calgary anthem). The crew enjoys heavy rotation on campus radio across Canada and have also appeared on CBC (Radio, ZeD and The National), plus MuchMusic's RapCity and Going Coastal. The group has performed across Canada and parts of the United States, and have shared the stage with many top acts, including De La Soul, Mos Def, Pete Rock, Boot Camp Clik, Del the Funkee Homosapien, and The Beatnuts.
Peace DFE... Much respect man, I'm loving the movement y'all got. Mangolasi put me on to the blog posting. Much appreciated yo. Used to live out in the South West back in the days so my appreciation for Calgary and the scene is all love. Let me know if y'all need another head to rock with and build anytime. That's whatsup...
