Music Update : Flatbush Zombies New EP Is Release On 5 June 2020
Flatbush Zombies have announced the new EP now, more than ever. With the June 5th release date fast approaching, the hip-hop trio have shared the lead single “iamlegend”.
now, more than ever is their first official release since 2018’s Vacation in Hell. Compared to that 80-minute epic, releasing an EP is a change of pace. The six-track effort features guest vocals from UK singer Sophie Faith, and song titles that hearken back to some of their favorite themes, such as “herb” and “blessings”.
As for the single, “iamlegend” is a ferocious first volley. This stunt track comes with slick flows and wildly varied deliveries. Meechy Darko attacks the lyrics like they gave him a wedgie, while Zombie Juice takes the hook at a whisper. Erik the Architect finds middle ground to bring up the rear. “Know it’s different, I’m a legend, these are credits, not just clout,” he raps, “I just hope I see the day when n—-s ain’t shootin’ it out.’
In deference to the pandemic, the accompanying music video was filmed over two months in three different cities. Each member of the Flatbush Zombies gets their own heavily saturated filter. The screen is always split into four quadrants, showing not just the Zombies, but clips both disturbing, sexy, and just plain fun. Check out “iamlegend” below.
Flatbush Zombies have officially surfaced to announce an upcoming release titled "Now More Than Ever."
The last time we heard a full-fledged project from the Flatbush Zombies, it was 2018's Vacation In Hell, an album that many fans thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish. And while we haven't seen much from Meechy Darko, Erick Arc Elliot, and Zombie Juice in the interim, we did see them hold it down on Beast Coast's collaborative release Escape From New York. Now, it would appear the trifecta have once again branched out to deliver another new project, taking to Instagram to unveil the mysterious Now More Than Ever.
Giving us little other than some eerie artwork and a release date of June 5th, it appears as if Now More Than Ever is set to be an EP of unknown length. Given how long it's been since the team dropped off a project, it wouldn't be surprising to see this one kick off the first phase of a full-scale comeback.
As this was only just announced today, expect further clarification to follow. Not to mention a new single -- look for that to surface shortly, perhaps even as soon as tomorrow. While purely speculative, it wouldn't be surprising to see all three of the Zombies ramp up their social media presence ahead of Now More Than Ever. One thing is certain. We're happy to see the Zombies back in the mix. Sound off if you share that enthusiasm.
