And just like that, the Flatbush Zombies' latest LP, Vacation in Hell, is here.
Checking in at a dense 19 tracks, Meechy Darko, Zombie Juice and Erick Arc Elliott, deliver just about all the dexterous flows you could have expected, and probably a bit more. The new project includes production from the likes of Tyler Dopps and the Architect himself. It also features guest appearances from Joey Bada$$, Jadakiss, Bun B, Denzel Curry, Nyck Caution and more.
The Zombies' latest LP is a follow-up to their 2016 effort, 3001: A Laced Odyssey, and it was preceded by their new, Ellington Hammond-directed documentary, Building a Ladder. In the short film, the trio's career roots are retraced and we get some pretty vivid glimpses at the crew's collective past and their current.
Vacation in Hell, the Zombies’ second album, released on April 6, marks a notable change in direction. Many of the lyrics distance the group from recreational drugs; Flatbush Zombies seem more. The album is now available for pre-order. Flatbush Zombies have shared the artwork for their upcoming album Vacation In Hell. Zombie Juice, one of three members of the group, shared the cover art. Vacation in Hell by Flatbush Zombies album reviews & Metacritic score: The second full-length release for the New York hip-hop trio features guest appearances from ASAP Twelvyy, Bun B, Nyck Caution, Denzel Curry, Dave B., Dia, Jad. Vacation In Hell, is the follow up to Brooklyn Hip Hop trio Flatbush Zombies' critically acclaimed debut 2016 LP 3001: A Laced Odyssey, which shot straight to the #1 spot on the US iTunes Album chart and debuted at #10 on the Billboard 200, #2 on the Hip Hop chart and #1 on the Independent chart. This is a constant through line in Flatbush Zombies’ work. To Vacation in Hell, the Zombies have had a tendency to explain an image rather than evoke it. Juice is a habitual.
