Their fan-favorite project is finally on streaming.

Meechy Darko, Zombie Juice, and Erick Arc Elliott, better known collectively as Flatbush Zombies are back in a big way. It is not a brand new release, as some fans of the group might have been hoping for. Flatbush has not put out a project in over four years now. Their last effort came in the form of Escape From New York back in May of 2019. Since then, they have remained on deaf ears until now.

Back in 2013, Meechy, Zombiem, and Erick put out their second mixtape, BetterOffDead. One that was met with fan and critical acclaim for its forays into psychedelic, cloud rap, trap, and more. It also features their biggest hits of all time such as "Palm Trees," "MRAZ," and "222." With all of the tremendous amounts of praise it has received, what better way to celebrate its now ten year anniversary with a rerelease.
