BIOGRAPHY
I. Identity
Flako y Dez is a reggaetón duo formed in 2007 by brothers Omar García, known as Flako "El Malo" (born in Boston, Massachusetts, on January 4, 1986), and Aristides García, known as Dez "La Nota Magnifika" (born in Boston, Massachusetts, on May 23, 1989). Per their own official bio, they describe themselves as "blood brothers" and adopted the name "Flako y Dez — La Combinación Letal."
The duo is based in Chelsea, Massachusetts, where they describe themselves on Instagram as a "Reggaeton Duo." Per their own bio, their biggest public performances have been at the Colombian Festival in Boston (2013) and the Puerto Rican Festival in Boston (2012), and they're known in Chelsea, Puerto Rico, and Latin America.
II. Family Connection To Willy Notez
Per information provided directly to ERA617 by the archive's owner, Flako y Dez are Willy Notez's cousins. This archive documents that relationship exactly as it was provided — as family context, not as an inference drawn from their musical collaboration — since no independent public source confirming this specific relationship was located.
Independent of that family context, there is direct, verified evidence of a real collaborative relationship with Willy Notez under his alias "Wyziel": a studio credit ("Pendiente," from Willy Notez's album Visiones del Futuro, 2016) and a joint live performance documented on video (2012). Both are detailed below.
III. Catalog
Their documented Apple Music catalog includes "La MVP," "Traviesa," and "La Hora Magika" (feat. Billian LLD, and for the latter two, also Jovyze) and "Wiki" (feat. Jovyze, Billian LLD, and Bibi Double B), all from 2020; "Prisionera" (feat. Jovyze and Billian LLD), "Perreo XXX" (feat. Jovyze), and "Tenía Un Amor" (feat. Billian LLD), from 2021; "Extasy" (feat. Bibi Double B), from 2022; and "La Culpa," from 2023. Their older catalog includes "Una Noche Mas" (2012, prod. by Yadier and Yeyo), plus other titles documented on their official channel and social media without an exact date confirmed for a formal record: "Me Hace Daño," "Booty En El Aire," "Amor Inmortal" (bachata), "Mujer De Otro" (feat. Melodi y Clave), "Ya No Me Quiere," "Sin Duda," and "Misteriosa."

INDIVIDUAL IDENTITIES
Flako El Malo
Same duo member — no distinct catalog of his own, see detail below.
Omar García, "Flako 'El Malo,'" born in Boston, Massachusetts, on January 4, 1986. His only documented individual credit outside the duo is "Wet" (2021), presented by Billian LLD with Flako "El Malo" and JGrizzy5, produced by BigMindBeats — the same collaborators as his catalog with Dez, confirming it's the same person. He's a guest on Billian LLD's single, not a release of his own.
INDIVIDUAL IDENTITIES
Dez
Maintains his own SoundCloud identity, distinct from the duo's catalog.
Aristides García, "Dez 'La Nota Magnifika,'" born in Boston, Massachusetts, on May 23, 1989. He maintains his own SoundCloud identity as "Dez LNM" (soundcloud.com/dez-la-nota-magnifika, Chelsea, MA), with three documented solo tracks: "Aqui De Nuevo" (prod. by DjGlass El Internacional), "Me Gustas Tanto," and "Super Animo" (prod. by Luey Trax). It's a real but small catalog, not yet enough for a standalone profile.
