Tarik ‘Teekay’ Robinson is a mainstay in the Calgary hip hop scene. Together with DJ Cosm he forms Dragon Fli Empire, a duo that has represented the 403 with style and consistency for nearly two decades. We discuss his beginnings in hip hop, DFE’s several European tours, and how his days at William Aberheart High influenced his rap style.
Our first guest this episode is Greta Bar’s Kacey Foore. She and Josh recount the recent Calgary Beer Fest, and Kacey’s important job on the Greta team of shaking hands and kissing babies. We get the drop on Geta: Calgary’s go-to spot for beer, arcade games, and street food, or what Jonathan describes as “an adult fun-house.” If you drop by Greta Bar on a Sunday, Kacey guarantees it’ll be “coco-bananas!” Sunday is re-greta night, where things get a little wild and you just might re-greta it the next morning. Of course, Josh and Jonathan don’t turn down an opportunity to share some of their most embarrassing moments, and you can have yours read aloud on the show as well by emailing canfessionals@wildrosebrewery.com This episode’s advice from Mama T is about the people you love, and the simple things that put a smile on their face. We learn that T doesn’t buy gifts for people for specific days like birthdays or holidays, and believes the best day to give a gift to someone you card about is any day. Bringing up the back half of the episode is Calgary indie radio legend DJ Cosm. Cosm has been a DJ on CJSW for 20 years, and played Josh’s first song to ever be played on the radio. For the past 5 years he’s been running his show, Mental Illness, under the Shaolin Sundays banner, and you can hear him every week from 4pm-6pm, or catch the replays at CJSW.com. The boys swap some stories of what Calgary’s hip-hop scene was like in the late 90’s and early 00’s, including a house party Cosm threw in 1998 with a $5 entry, or $4 with a track suit! Cosm is also half of Calgary hip-hop duo Dragon Fli Empire, and he breaks down the surprising reasons it’s easier for Canadian artists to tour Europe than Western Canada.
