How old is flatbush zombies

The frequently ghoulish imagery tells another, equally stark story. But, conversely, its natives, such as the Zombies, are fending off poverty, crime and, more recently, crystal meth.

Meechy Darko: You got motherfuckers out here in flip-flops and sandals on the fucking hardest streets of Brooklyn, sipping coffee.
