Flatbush Zombies

Flatbush Zombies are an East Coast hip hop group from Flatbush, Brooklyn which consists of rappers Meechy Darko, Zombie Juice and producer/rapper Erick Arc Elliott. Biography edit: Erick Arc Elliott and Meechy Darko have known each other since they were four years old. Elliott and Zombie Juice met in high school. Juice said the trio got its name from loving zombies growing up. In particular, Meechy cited video games and the 1985 film The Return of the Living Dead as inspirations. Meechy added that the group name also represented the members' growth and evolution. "If you're staying the same, then you ain't doing something right. Something's wrong with you. That's what makes the Zombies." According to Elliott, the group came together musically around 2010. Their first club performance took place in 2012 at the Southpaw in Brooklyn. The group's popularity grew after releasing the "Thug Waffle" video on YouTube. Later in the year, Flatbush Zombies released a mixtape titled D.R.U.G.S., which stands for "Death and Reincarnation Under God's Supervision". In 2013, the group collaborated with fellow Brooklyn rappers The Underachievers on the single "No Religion". Flatbush Zombies also released the video for "MRAZ", a track off the group's upcoming mixtape Better off Dead. Flatbush Zombies have collaborated with artists such as The Underachievers, Joey Bada$$, Jim Jones, Juicy J, and Danny Brown, and have performed at festivals such as AfroPunk Festival, Paid Dues, and SXSW.
