    Real shit ...Erick is the hardest working of all of the producers I've ever worked with. We'll stay up till 4am some days wake up up at 10 and start all over again for a week straight. His mind never strays from his art. The kind of dude who's drawing on napkins in the uber on the way to go get some shit the studio needs. Always listening for nuances, for ideas. People who have anything negative to say don't understand the amount of work these guys are really putting in. Vacation In Hell is truly a special album. AOTY material TRUST.

    It's up to us as hip hop fans to purchase albums from artists who we support. The FBZ are few and far between and album sales speak volumes in getting them to the next level. The music they produce is well worth the $15.

    "I always felt like I would be successful at something, but I didn't know what I wanted to do. I knew I wanted to make music because it was the only thing that fulfilled me in the sense that I didn't care how much time or money I spent to do it, and when you have something like that you need to chase it. I don't know many people that are like that, that will put themselves in $40,000 in debt just for music, or to not go to sleep at all. Sometimes I don't eat, sometimes I don't sleep. That's the sacrifice you make when you can't help it." - The Architect
    Ascension.
    Thank you.

    This video made me tear up, they've been a huge part of my life since 2012 and they STILL have yet to disappoint me, if I'm in a shitty mood I just throw them on n smoke n I'm instantly happier. Idk what I'd do without them it's much more than just music to me they're apart of my daily routine. Thank y'all so much 💙🙏

    Most artist today blow up from one song and will be somewhat relevant for a year or two, three max. That’s why I love Flatbush, they just doing their own thing and slowly getting bigger, and the perk of doing that is that you will never lose your fans, they’ve been with you for so long supporting everything you do
