Beast Coast (Flatbush Zombies, Joey Bada$$, etc) played 2 hometown shows (pics, videos)

Beast Coast —- the NYC rap supergroup featuring Flatbush Zombies, The Underachievers, Joey Bada$$ and other Pro Era members —- released their very fun debut album Escape From New York earlier this year but they landed right back where they started for two shows at The Rooftop on Pier 17 on Thursday (8/22) and Friday (8/23). We caught the Friday show (where tickets from Thursday were also honored after Thursday’s show was cut short due to weather), which began with individual sets from Pro Era members CJ Fly, Nyck Caution, Kirk Knight, and Powers Pleasant, as well as The Underachievers, and then all artists hit the stage for a mix of Beast Coast songs and songs from members’ own albums. The group expressed their gratitude for their hometown NYC crowd several times, and also expressed disbelief that they were able to get the ten-member group together for this tour. The energy was crazy both on and off stage, with the crowd clearly loving Beast Coast and breaking out into mosh pits all throughout the night.

Pictures of the show are in the gallery above and videos are below…
