Creating a lane for himself after watching the independent grind of his biological brother Young Truth, Flamez began to gain some attention with the release of his debut project “4 Fuego” (2020) which was named after his close friend Drego El Fuego who passed away in 2019. Influenced by the likes of Meek Mill, Ace Hood and 50 Cent; the East Coast rapper’s style is a superb blend of flashy, cocky and motivational in a hustler’s sense. His choruses like on “Hell Of It” for reference make it easy to catch the ears of potential listeners. 
 Born Derek J. Ward (later getting his named changed to Derek McMillan) was raised in a culturally diversed neighborhood in Harlem, New York. Flamez picked up rap as a hobby making it a routine creating music with his peers. The love for Hip-Hop grew stronger once Flamez formed a rap duo named Guap Starz with a childhood friend. It was then Flamez discovered his potential recording songs locally. 
 Seeking longevity, Flamez has been consistent in his efforts to build his brand and create music his audience can relate to. Finding the motivation to push foward despite life’s challenges, the Harlem rapper prepare for his up and coming release “Big Talk” which is set to release March 18th, 2022.
