This September marks the tenth anniversary of Flatbush Zombies' sophomore mixtape BetterOffDEAD, and the trio have announced they're bringing the effort to streaming services to celebrate.

Today, the trio of Zombie Juice, Meechy Darko and Erick the Architect announced that BetterOffDEAD will be rereleased digitally on September 15 via an accompanying teaser you can view below.

The tease pokes fun at the fervent fans who have apparently "been asking about this shit for 10 years," gathering a bunch of social media posts hounding the New York outfit for details on the mixtape's DSP debut. "You're fucking welcome," indeed.

In the event of the mixtape's streaming release not including its complete slate of samples, you can revisit BetterOffDEAD in the player below.

Flatbush Zombies released BetterOffDEAD at exactly 9:11 p.m. on September 11, 2013. The mixtape featured collaborations with Action Bronson and Danny Brown, and additional production from Harry Fraud and Obey City.

In a 7/10 review of BetterOffDEAD, Exclaim! highlighted the mixtape's "unrelentingly manic, pulsating energy within its horrorcore aesthetic, threatening after every bridge or interlude to explode in a mushroom cloud of Technicolor plasma."

Flatbush Zombies' most recent album remains 2018's Vacation In Hell, an effort they followed with EP now, more than ever in 2020.

All three members have shared solo projects in the time since. Zombie Juice made his solo debut with Love Without Conditions earlier this year, while 2022 saw Meechy Darko deliver Gothic Luxury. Erick the Architect, meanwhile, shared EP Future Proof in 2021.
