History

Beast Coast was formed in 2012, but the relationships within the group members date back to the time growing up together in the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Flatbush and Bedford–Stuyvesant. Pro Era formed their collective while attending Edward R. Murrow High School. The Underachievers and Zombie Juice became acquainted through a childhood friend of AK the Savior. The co-founder of Pro Era, Capital Steez, died by suicide in December 2012, followed by the death of ASAP Yams in 2015, who is credited for introducing Pro Era to the Flatbush Zombies.^[7]

In 2019, the supergroup released three singles ahead of their debut album, Escape from New York, released on May 24, 2019. The group also announced a North American tour beginning on July 23 and ending on August 16.^[8][9][10]
