After forming in 2010, Flatbush Zombies came up as part of the "Beast Coast" rap movement made of up fellow Brooklyn crews Pro Era, the Underachievers, and Phony Ppl—artists connected by their flamboyant experimentalism and shared appreciation of golden era hip-hop. After two successful mixtapes, this year Meechy Darko, Zombie Juice, and Erick "The Architect" Elliott released their critically acclaimed full-length, 3001: A Laced Odyssey. On this album Flatbush Zombies are unapologetically psychedelic, but serious in their flirtations with macabre imagery and visionary introspection, all over sparse beats reminiscent of the '90s Memphis sound. A$AP Mob's Twelvyy and the World's Fair crew's Remy Banks round out a bill of some of today's weirdest and most provocative rappers. DANIELA SERNA
