Brooklyn's Flatbush Zombies channel the best of the '90s East Coast rap era on cinematic tracks full of mind-altering atmospherics and dense lyrical content. The trio was formed by Meechy Darko, Zombie Juice, and Erick the Architect in 2010. Showcasing Meech's gritty growl and Juice's cocky boasts over Elliott's bass-heavy laid-back production, their first song and video ("Thug Waffle") were a hit and went viral. Later that year, they released their first mixtape, D.R.U.G.S.. As their underground presence expanded, they made a number of guest appearances, like on A$AP Mob's "Bath Salt". Along with the Underachievers and Joey Bada$$'s Pro Era, FBZ formed the Beast Coast collective. In 2013, FBZ dropped their second mixtape, the drugged-out epic BetterOffDead, with features from Action Bronson and Danny Brown. FBZ and UA released a collab EP, Clockwork Indigo, in 2014. By 2016, Meechy Darko, Zombie Juice and Erick the Architect completed work on their official debut LP, 3001: A Laced Odyssey (released in March 2016). The highly anticipated set hit number ten on the Billboard 200. Two years later, they returned with their critically acclaimed sophomore LP, Vacation in Hell, which peaked at number nine on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop chart. In 2019, Beast Coast issued their debut effort, Escape from New York, which was produced in part by Elliott. The set became a Top 30 hit in the U.S. The Zombies returned to their own material in 2020 with the short EP Now, More Than Ever.
