Background

The Flatbush Zombies are a Brooklyn-based hip hop group that are part of the East Coast hip hop movement known as "Beast Coast", which also consists of fellow Brooklyn rap groups The Underachievers and Pro Era.

Group member Erick Arc Elliott, who had been making his own solo music, decided to bring childhood friends Meechy Darko and Zombie Juice together musically around 2010.[2] Their first club performance took place in 2012, at 307 in Waterloo.[3] The group's popularity grew that year after releasing the music video of their track "Thug Waffle" on YouTube,[3][4] followed up with the release of their debut mixtape, titled D.R.U.G.S.[5]

On July 29, 2013, Flatbush Zombies released a YouTube video announcing their second mixtape, which would be titled BetterOffDEAD. It was released at exactly 9:11 PM on September 11, 2013. The singles "MRAZ," "Palm Trees," and "222" are included on the nineteen track mixtape. Though Elliott is the main producer, Harry Fraud and Obey City also provide production on the mixtape. Danny Brown and Action Bronson are the two features on the mixtape and appear on the tracks "Drug Parade" and "Club Soda" respectively.
