[@mtor9452]

The guys are so underrated still, I don't even know how

[@Dropshotboy1]

M B honestly every song off the new album is stright fire

[@lztrigga262]

i’m saying!!

[@12Saintsrow]

You got people in the comments saying "who" what a damn shame

[@tylermcburney4476]

They’re independent

[@dan9328]

They started their own label so they're working from the ground up, it'd be awesome to see them make it to the top without signing to a big label

[@SKATEBAIT47]

Zombies are the most underappreciated group in hip hop in years

[@monkcarti1869]

Head Like A Fucking Orange spread the word

[@poohks]

They got a loyal fanbase, and almost all their shows are sold out all the time

[@56maradona]

Seeing people say “who is this” in the comments got me smh cause they better than most the rappers at the top rn

[@Poopymattyt]

Joseph Garside ik good thing I already bought my tickets

[@psychedandelevated2854]

Better than all

[@56maradona]

Psyched and Elevated you damn right, them, pro era, underachievers all light years past what’s mainstream bs rn

[@Poopymattyt]

Psyched and Elevated except The rest of #BEASTCOAST. There all equally amazing to me

[@guidedbeing826]

Joseph Garside Facts i was hoping for a underachievers feature

[@Tod-sc4lm]

It’s great when you actually have rappers on here that are actually good.

[@supremevids3102]

Agreed.

[@MiguelGonz_7]

They’re so slept on bruh

[@NotAGrabbaghoul]

Since some people wanna be dickheads, Flatbush Zombies is a New York Rap Trio who are part of the Beast Coast Movement alongside Pro Era(Joey Badass) & The Underachievers. They’ve been immensely underrated but they are coming strong for their sophomore album, they carry the New York vibe but provide new energies & flows beside the stereotypical stuff. Now you know who they are, go dive headfirst into their phenomenonal album, Vacation In Hell *OUT NOW*

[@dabossman5650]

[@TheSD91911]

timeismusic they are

[@bahloo_]

Travis sc they asap, rep harlem and was out for a lil while before they even knew pro era, UA and FBZ

[@166mreli]

Fam, I did not even realize they were making references to other rappers with like every bar on this song. Thats some wild shit. They some real hip hop heads for that. Salute

[@lexthesavior]

166mreli LISTEN TO THE TRACKS DONT JIST HEAR THEM

[@Aquwert]

Im not sure how someone could listen to this song and not realise, you should listen to some old school man

[@166mreli]

I heard some obviously, but after seeing the lyrics, I didn't realize this shit was overflowing with em

[@haZedxClanz]

Aquwert I’m like that. I guess I’m just accustomed to focusing on the beat before the lyrics. But if I actually wanna listen to the lyrics, then I focus on that and/or looking up the lyrics on Genius.

[@JEFFMAN90]

Step your game up bro

[@looooouww]

Vacation In Hell is my album of the year so far

[@zord812]

louw it’s pretty great except for a few songs that I could’ve done without, other then that it’s one of the best albums of the year so far

[@kyanboy2000]

Kopec_21 eventhough its still great, 3001 is their worst album yet

[@funkygouki1168]

Kopec_21 lol what 3001 is their worst project by far they even said it themselves it was only a commercial project to make them blow up which it did. Vacation in hell is the return of the real fbz style that they showed with their amazing mixtapes better off dead and drugs.

[@kyanboy2000]

I guess you've never smoked to BetterOffDead ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@XTig3rTeeth]

Kopec_21 he said the best alblum of this year, not the best fbz alblum, although i do agree wit u that 3,001 is better then vih but vih is dope as fuck

[@AyeshaGo]

This is the BEST song out right now. Don't care what anyone has to say.

[@lexthesavior]

Ayesha Go. Check the album girl

[@seanstroman6087]

Facts

[@AyeshaGo]

Alexis Cardenas listening now. amazing so far.

[@DOODOOBUTT_]

The whole album is amazing. I didn't think better off dead could be surpassed but they did it.

[@DMUSA-gd6kq]

Psychedelic Alchemist Idk This Is Great, But B.O.D is their best body of work to me.

[@kung-fukennyfamily]

Brooo Pro Era, ASAP, Underachievers and Flatbush have BEEN putting on New York for a while since 2011 , *ZOMBiES* appears ready to BLOOM🌺

[@Brolyrulz1]

Beast coast

[@edwingonzalez7691]

They been bloomin brother

[@kyanboy2000]

L for the people that compare them to the Migos, the biggest difference between the 2 groups is that the Zombies actually have skill.

[@lexthesavior]

Aardappel Schijf facts yo I fought some white boy over this shit. It gets me so mad

[@hoohoo7743]

The only similarity is that there’s 3 of them

[@yarokeemink5776]

Daar hedde gij helemaal gelijk in jongeman

[@SlickSkuddy]

Migos have skill they’re just repetitive and overrated

[@SlickSkuddy]

Really just Takeoff and Offset

[@LeBeautiful]

I shouldn't be sleeping on these zombies man....I'm sure they're going to start an outbreak very soon 💀🏃

[@tonedavinci]

LeBeautiful Here Another day, another L.

[@SoloVids1000]

You must be a really cool guy in real life

[@seitothorsi5243]

The album is insane, I've never heard something like that. It's so complex and detailed, the production is not human. And the vacation feel is surreal. Holy!

[@e-terrestrial]

These guys are what this generation NEEDS! They're breaking stereotypes, not mumbling, different ways of conveying messages, and in general just different! Love em!

[@petitnicollas]

They're like Migos but good

[@wrathofvaughn9309]

Petit So in other words, they're nothing like Migos.

[@lexthesavior]

Don't ever compare them to them. Never in the same sentence

[@jermainejohnson209]

Don't do that. They are in a whole different lane. Can't compare them to Migos.

[@ericgolden4349]

But better this is the shit I like Migos be mumblin to much the Flatbush zombies tell stories the migos just flex and talk about fuckin bitches . These guys are old school style the old school style is real all these mumblin niggas is trash such as lil xan lil pump smokepurrp and migos i mean migos are Ight I fw some of there music but otherwise there shits trash they got no good smoke songs there ad libs are dope but there flow is to mumbly which is why I don’t like them I’m just stating my opinion so ya .

[@MitchellTeeRapz]

The “rappers” Meechy is referring to are probably like 90% of the people that come on here to explain their whack ass lyrics that don’t need explained 😂😂 get more lyrical MCs like Flatbush on here this is what the culture needs not more Lil whatever’s

[@jennabreedlove6953]

ive listen to them from the beginning and im so glad they gettin recognition now

[@marcogarza4505]

I was a teen in the 90’s. These guys are not my era but they are FIRE FOR REAL. I strongly dislike newer shit but the FBZ’s are AMAZING. Can’t wait so see them.

[@soleskywho]

I've been in love with the zombies since D.R.U.G.S and they have not once let me down with a release... 6 years of being a fan and I still get so excited when they announce an album. Also went to one of their shows and it was the best show I've ever been to. They took a while to catch the limelight but the longer the rise, the longer the peak. Whatchu gon do when them zombies come for youuuu?

[@ZachariaYonis]

biggest respect to these guys, for showing respect to the OG's, in time they will be marked as OG's themselves with the ill tracks they put out!

[@RoseLauren0]

This is the most informational yet GENIUS rap genius ive witnessed I heard them when they were just starting and wasnt my taste but now digging through their art again, I DEF misunderstood and didnt give em enough of a chance like other people have, they def deserve to be held among GREATS

[@RoseLauren0]

I also did the same with chance the rapper when he dropped Juice and he blew up.. zombies time is coming

[@violet_n_bass]

Underrated asf I been bumping Flatbush for 3 years strong they finally next up

[@Zenith192837465]

ZombieGaanngggg

[@DPSVEGAS]

The reason why Flatbush isn’t big is because of the fact that the’re independent, Erick produces all of the beats and music. (A very risky, but smart choice if done properly with the right connections, they probably make more money now than the average SoundCloud rapper that immediately signs a record deal when offered one) It’s a slow climb, but I’ve here since they dropped their first mixtapes, it’s awesome to see them prosper and grow. Glad to see they are getting recognition for being some of the only true rappers left, it’s long over due. Can’t wait to see them again in concert! Their performances are unbelievably amazing!
