Erick Arc Elliott shares a new instrumental entitled "Love Shawty."

As the sole producer for Flatbush Zombies, Erick Arc Elliott (or Erick THe Architect, as he's been calling himself recently) has shown that he's more than capable of singlehandedly crafting the group's sound. His solo work is less prolific, less expertly curated to fit within a specific sound, but no less enjoyable.

His latest beat, entitled "Love Shawty," is a little more fleet-footed of a composition than we're used to from Elliott, and would have sounded right at home on Jamie xx and Gil Scott Heron's collaborative project We're New Here. By creating something that wouldn't really sound at home on a Zombies record, The Architect shows us that he's not stuck in the world of their acid-friendly boom bap.
