"Get Yours" (ft. Diamante)

It's week two of Flatbush Zombies ongoing "Day of the Dead" online singles series, and this time around the stoner rap trio are serving up some positive vibes via the empowering "Get Yours."

A staccato blanket of feathery synth work rustles in the intro, with the crew noting that while sometimes life gets tough, you've got to keep your chin up, because after all, "did your momma give up when she was giving birth to your ass?"

As the song opens up into Erick the Architect's fuller arrangement of toy piano taps, faux-brass fanfare and a soft but driving beat, we get the Zombies dishing on family struggles with diabetes, and how music can save your life. Guest vocalist Diamante likewise brings the spirit by lavishing the track with a shout out to people living off food stamps but striving for a better tomorrow.
