Calgary’s Dragon Fli Empire strikes back with another project, To Be Continued.
DJ Cosm and long-time counterpart Teekay seem to keep it moving with new hip hop, whether their own albums, singles, or features.
To Be Continued is a digital maxi-single showcasing two new joints and their instrumental versions, both featuring French artists.
First up, “To Be Continued” is a smooth joint with a tight-sounding saxophone solo outro by Alix Laran. The horns are fairly lightweight, but they definitely add to the already-jazzy beat.
Then, “Inspiration” is an upbeat, spirited song with an almost-Blackalicious sound, featuring MC GAS (Gassam) and singer Luc Nyamé-Siliki. Language can be a tricky barrier on a track but the singer’s accent on the chorus helps blend the contrast between English and French on the song.
The project is said to be the first of several celebrating Dragon Fli Empire’s upcoming 20-year anniversary of being a crew. Grab To Be Continued on Bandcamp.
