BEAST COAST

In 1999, hip-hop groups Pro Era (Joey Bada$$, Kirk Knight, CJ Fly, Nyck Caution, Powers Pleasant), Flatbush Zombies (Meechy Darko, Zombie Juice, Erick the Architect), and the Underachievers (Issa Gold and AK the Savior) started the Beast Coast collective in New York City. Ten years later, the group released its debut album, Escape From New York. In support of the album, Beast Coast is physically escaping from NYC with a North American tour, stopping in Pittsburgh Sunday at Stage AE.
