THE FIX 2 — FLAMES DOT MALIK

Upstate New York pressure. Rochester to Buffalo. Black Soprano Family.

Flames Dot Malik brings raw energy, street perspective, and a commanding presence on The Fix 2, an 11-track project built around hard production and uncompromising lyricism.

Representing Black Soprano Family, Flames delivers his signature aggressive, gruff flow over a backdrop of eerie samples, creeping piano lines, cold drums, and gritty production. The sound is unmistakably rooted in the underground while carrying the confidence of an artist determined to put Upstate New York further on the map.

And he doesn’t come alone.

**Benny The Butcher, Che Noir, Estee Nack, Lo Profile, Sule, Fuego Base, and The Hoodies** join Flames throughout the project, creating a lineup that connects some serious lyrical firepower.

Records like 716 TO 585 bridge Rochester and Buffalo, while WE FROM UPSTATE makes the regional statement clear. THE FORMULA brings Flames together with Benny The Butcher and Che Noir, and CRYSTAL with Fuego Base shows another dimension of the project.

The Fix 2 isn’t chasing a sound. It’s documenting one.

This is Upstate New York hip-hop.
