Erick the Architect Drops Double Singles “Self Made” & “Skinny Ramen Freestyle”

Erick the Architect has released a double single today, featuring his brand new song “Self Made.” It arrives with “Skinny Ramen Freestyle,” which Erick surprise-released earlier this year and quickly grew to be his most-viewed video on YouTube but was not previously available on DSPs until now.

The swift and dazzling “Self Made” is the latest in a triumphant year for the rapper and producer, who in January released his official solo project EP debut in Future Proof, a deep collection of songs that explore his ideas on how one can best prepare themselves for the inevitable challenges that lie ahead. “Let It Go” from Future Proof is now over 10 million streams on Spotify, and in July he released a series of remixes by Baauer, Khushi, RÜDE CÅT, Powers Pleasant and Future Proof collaborator Linden Jay. The Future Proof EP was praised by several media outlets, and features Loyle Carner, Col3trane, FARR, Sophie Faith, Linden Jay and Pip Millett. 

One third of Flatbush Zombies and the beloved rap group’s primary producer, Erick was also just awarded his first Gold record, for Flatbush Zombies’ “Bounce” from 2016’s 3001: A Laced Odyssey. He also produced and raps on Flatbush Zombies’ contribution to the just-released Metallica Blacklist album, with their take on “Unforgiven.”
