(Sorry I Was Pimpin’ 2)

Christmas came early again for me this year as one of my most anticipated artists, ‘Flames Dot Malik’, is back with his first official EP release under the ‘Black Soprano Family’ label. So being as excited as I can be, let’s fucking talk about it!

So we got 5 tracks (one bonus) with production from 

-Clypto

-Moose Tarantino, both past collaborators with Flames, and once again they re-unite to drop another stone cold, raw, and dangerous project.

This EP’s production reminds me of a time in Hip Hop that outside of a select few like Griselda doesn’t exist anymore. A time in rap when it was just gritty street beats with crisp instrumentals and a bloodthirsty atmosphere attached. This kind of sound reminds me of shit like 

-2000’s Era Jay-Z

-C-Murder

-RBX

-Goldie Loc and more. We’re talking OG Street shit that made you wanna go out and rob something, filled you with that confidence to step up to anyone who’s trying to prove something. Unfortunately, it’s a lost art in my opinion in today’s era of music and a style that I only see being done by the likes of Flames and his BSF crew! 

Now, as I was listening to this project on repeat after repeat, it dawned on me why I love this artist so much. It’s because he’s the definition of no nonsense. He’s just straight grit and bars, and that’s it, no flashy bullshit, no fakes shit, or gimmicks, just straight verses and thug cadence.

From the very first song when you hear his raspy, raw voice, you know shits getting real, and he keeps this momentum the whole 5 tracks. He ain’t worried about doing nothing but spit his gargantuan flow and killer penmanship and bouncing. It’s this attitude that makes him an elite stand out in the culture right now and specifically why he will remain at the top of my radar!

I don’t give a fuck if it’s short and not even 10 minutes. CHECK THIS SHIT OUT! Fuck that other shit you’re hyping on. These guys are the real deal and make REAL hip hop back to the classic era!
