The Flatbush Zombies are back and starting 2018 off right with the visual component to their newest single "Headstone," ahead of album release on April 6.
The trio of Flatbush, Brooklyn, New York natives are making quite the splash here early into the first quarter of 2018 with this release – calling out emcees from today to times long past. Throughout this song we see verbal references to major albums and and iconic lyrics laced in the verses:
"I'm livin' how I wanna, no reasonable doubt / It's clear to see, all eyez on me, 400 degrees / Who am I? Ruthless, Eazy does it / The chronic smoke in public, hate it or love it / The underdogs, with liquid swords"
The single is a bouncy ode to hip-hop as the ever-conscious Zombie Gang pay homage, and then tear down the pillars of those that built their musical landscape. Non-stop creative lyrics weave out the speakers into your head.
So take heed and listen: if you are not an instant fan you should just give up. Flatbush Zombies are here, and they are not going anywhere – except to city near you as they kick off their Vacation in Hell tour with Coachella (dates below).
