Flatbush Zombies member Erick the Architect has returned with “Parkour,” his first new single of 2023 which is produced by James Blake. Stream the track below.
A reflection of Erick’s journey after moving to Los Angeles from his native Brooklyn, “Parkour” starts with pitched-up vocals that are then slowed down to a sinister tone before the rapper’s normal voice cuts through Blake’s spacy production. On the track, Erick describes coming up in New York City with lyrics like, “When I was growing up, we all had different crews/ I always knew what’s up/ If you down to bust a move.”
Back in 2020, Blake produced the Flatbush Zombies loosie “Afterlife,” after which Erick returned the favor by contributing to “I Keep Calling” on the producer’s EP Before. Prior to “Parkour,” Erick’s most recent solo singles were 2021’s “Self Made” and last year’s “No Ice” featuring Akthesavior.

Flatbush Zombies member Zombie Juice is back with “Dizzy,” the second single from his upcoming debut solo album, Love Without Conditions.
“Dizzy” reunites Zombie Juice with longtime collaborators The Underachievers, the rap duo who are also part of the Brooklyn supergroup Beast Coast with Flatbush Zombies and Pro Era.
