About

Beast Coast in Concert

Beast Coast aren't a group so much as a movement — the collected rowdy, thoughtful, moody, psychedelics-loving, and super talented members of three different Brooklyn hip-hop groups that helped redefine the genre in the early 2010s. 

There's Joey Bada$$ and his Pro Era crew, who specialize in throwback, sample-heavy boom bap even while rapping about progressive social issues. There's the Flatbush Zombies trio with their grungy rhyme styles, love for darkly experimental beats, and tales of LSD-tripping through an urban wasteland. And, finally, The Underachievers, a duo that combines third-eye spirituality with a rebel spirit and groove-heavy production. 

The Beast Coast collective name is more than a clapback at the old "West Coast is the best coast" line — it rightly sums up these artists' impossible-to-ignore influence while also tipping fans off to the vibe of their live shows. Together, these 10-plus MCs are a bona fide crowd-surfing, chant-inspiring, shirts-off, dreads-flailing, more-punk-than-rap festival act.

Beast Coast Background

Beast Coast's roots go back to Flatbush — many of them are the sons of families who moved to New York from the Caribbean, and many knew one another as kids. Joey's group came together in high school, rallying around rap old-schoolers like Nas and border-pushers like Andre 3000. Their full name, Progressive Era, worked as a two-word manifesto, and sure enough, Bada$$ became one of the most promising hip-hop minds of his generation, working with everyone from DJ Premier to XXXtentacion. 

The Zombies met in grade school, bonded over Dragon Ball Z and wrestling, and shared their first psychedelic experiences. Indeed, they sound like family, and they've ridden that chemistry into collaborations with like-minded artists Danny Brown, Action Bronson, and even their hero RZA, whose Gravediggaz outfit is a direct source of inspiration. 

Issa Gold and AK the Savior, aka The Underachievers, also go back to their preteens. They named themselves as a challenge to outsiders' perceptions — anyone who'd be surprised that a couple of apparent potheads infuse their lyrics with such smarts — and the right outsiders took note. Experimental electronica guru Flying Lotus signed them to his Brainfeeder label in 2012, and they've since proven a long-term commitment to innovation.

    Most Fire Show in Baltimore

    by FlatbushFan420 on 8/28/19MECU Pavilion - Baltimore

    Bruh beast coast put on a 4 hour show with multiple sets, guest appearances and revealing 3 unreleased track. The underachievers came out to the back lawn and sparked with everyone and I saw meechy Darko at the front gate coming in. Baltimore really showed up for Beast Coast, the lawn and pit were very live and great energy from everyone attending. Overall amazing show with a great venue.

    Horrible venue

    by Juliana on 8/27/19Rockland Trust Bank Pavilion - Boston

    Amazing artists and performance, literally the worst venue I’ve ever been in though. Super segregated with the chairs and kills the whole vibe. I’ll definitely remember to never go to a concert again with seating like that.

    All around great experience!

    by R. O. on 8/26/19The Rooftop at Pier 17 - New York

    From music to hype the crowd to more introspective and message filled music, Beast Coast did it all. Les but Joey Bada$$, this experience really had everyone in the crowd full of energy and imparted with good vibes. There was lots of mosh pits that happened which was kinda crazy since I’ve never been in one before the concert. But everything else was what I was expecting. I really enjoyed Joey Bada$$’s performance of his songs on his album. Really felt the message during that.
