Dragon Fli Empire is a Canadian hip-hop duo that has made significant waves with their jazz-infused style of rap. The group comprises MC Tarik Robinson, also known as Teekay, and DJ Cosm, a pair of artists hailing from Calgary, Alberta, who have been working together since the early 2000s. They've carved out a niche within the North American music scene by blending the authenticity of old-school hip-hop with infectious grooves and a positive, socially-aware lyrical approach.

Renowned for their energetic live performances and DIY work ethic, Dragon Fli Empire has built a dedicated following over the years. They've released a series of projects that showcase their growth and versatility, including "To Be Continued / Inspiration," "Record Store / Fli Beat Patrol," and the "Ride On EP." Their sound harkens back to the golden age of hip-hop, with clever samples and boom-bap beats, yet they continue to stay fresh by incorporating contemporary elements and local themes into their music, demonstrated in albums like "Banff Avenue" and "Mission Statement." Whether they're paying homage to their roots with projects like "Redefine" or exploring new territory as heard on "Intermission EP" and "Invasion," Dragon Fli Empire maintains its status as an authentic and respected force in the indie hip-hop scene.
