Canadian Rap

Post by Philaflava »

See not all of its bad.

The other day some cat emailed me from a group called Dragon Fli Empire. Having known nothing about these cats I went in already hating because thats what I do. Life's too short to be comb though each album with optimism and hand out passing grades all the time.

But this album struck me. They sent me the material to review for our Sounds Like The 90's series and although the particular track they had in mind doesn't exactly fit our format their music in general was quite a surprise. You'll definitely be seeing them on an upcoming Sounds Like The 90's but in the meantime...

You can check out a handful of tracks here www.myspace.com/dragonfliempire

Their album features Masta Ace, Mission and :phila:'s Cadence Weapon.

I'm liking Redefined myself.

Shadrach Kabango aka Shad, and Shaun Boothe, are both canadian rappers, and they both are dope as fuck.

peep the videos on Shaun Boothe's myspace page when you have a minute.

I got that Dragonfli Empire album recently. Good to see Cosm and Teekay still doin it but it's even greater to see you guys up on them, these guys are really humble and good people. I'm on one of their older projects, and they put me up for a few shows in Calgary

Cosm produced the song I dedicated to Crooked I on the new SBU EP

Adam Bomb is fucking disgussssting and I love this song

I got this unreleased song where he says

"how do you mean? if you don't got the cash that I want/ then you will have kids with masks at your door like it's Halloween/ trick or treat motherfuckers/ got a big treat for your trick to eat, motherfuckers/ shit ain't sweet, motherfuckers, it's pure filth/ got a fist made of warm milk to put you to sleep, motherfuckers" :rofl: :hooray:

you ain't marrying Eternia, much less having more than a 3 minute conversation with her, unless you are a complete gentleman and a scholar... being a man of God will help too :lol:
