Flatbush Zombies are a Hip Hop group from the Flatbush section of Brooklyn in New York City. The band is comprised of school friends, rappers Zombie Juice/Antonio Lewis, Meechy Darko/Dimitri Simms and Erick "The Architect" Elliott who also works as a producer. They began experimenting with psychedelic drugs from a young age with Simms reporting that his first use of magic mushrooms caused an ego death and rebirth as a zombie.
“We reawakened ourselves. Rebirth. That’s what it meant to us when it came down to the decision. ‘Yo, we are zombies.’ We are not saying we don’t have a pulse. I bleed blood. Just understand that you know when they say you die your life flashes before your eyes? You see everything. You learn the grand answer to the biggest question in the world. Pretty much we are saying that we been through that. Second phase. We are here now. We are zombies.” - Meechy Darko
Elliott, who had already been working on music, assembled his school friends to collaborate with in 2010. The trio grabbed attention after uploading their Thug Waffle video to YouTube and the release of their debut mixtape D.R.U.G.S. - an acronym for Death and Reincarnation Under God's Supervision.
Their second mixtape BetterOffDEAD was released in 2013 and saw Flatbush Zombies ranked #17 on XXL’s best mixtapes of 2013.
Whilst touring with The Underachievers in 2014, the two Brooklyn Hip Hop bands released the split EP Clockwork Indigo.
Their brand new album 3001: A Laced Odyssey is out right now and features the massive tracks Bounce and This Is It. The album sold 28,000 in its first week and smashed straight into #10 of the US Billboard 200.
