FLATBUSH ZOMBIES W/ BODEGA BAMZ Sunday November 17 was a date that had been circled on my calender for weeks. The Brooklyn rap group Flatbush Zombies were going to be playing at Cat’s Cradle in Carrboro, N.C. and they were bringing Spanish Harlem’s own Bodega Bamz with them. I was disappointed that I couldn’t make it to Atlanta the night before to see fellow Brooklyn group The Underachievers on this tour. However, my disappointment would disappear not long after I presented my ticket and walked in the club. Bodega Bamz had just taken the stage and his approximately forty five minute set was full of energy with Bodega spitting verses over beats that were rocking’ the walls . Then the Zombies took the stage and had the club bouncing. The played some of their older ones as well as a number from the “Better Off Dead” mixtape. They went on to play two encores, it seemed like no one wanted to go home. Both the Zombies and Bodega Bamz gave it 110 percent only leaving me to wish I could’ve seen them twice. Bodega Bamz
