There's no doubt that the Flatlinerz have a long history that dates back to the early 90's of Hip-Hop music. With their 1994 debut album U.S.A. (Under Satan's Authority) getting mixed reviews for the time, it landed the Flatlinerz in the middle of the explosion of Gangster Rap while labeling their own sound branding it Horrorcore. The Flatlinerz were still a part of some iconic moments in the history of Hip Hop. Whether it be touring with Notorious BIG, Method Man, and Redman, to the collaboration projects they were featured on, these guys never got the credit they truly deserved over the early years of their music careers.
Since their return in 2014, twenty years after the release of U.S.A. they have gone on to release some of the best music of their careers, while working with some of the biggest names in todays underground music circuit. The Flatlinerz 6ix Trilogy was put out over the coarse of 2 years in a release of 3 EP's, to complete the story. All while working with producer greats such as the Snowgoons and Reel Wolf Productions. They even dropped 2 rock remix albums with in house producer F13 (Flatline716). The Flatlinerz continue to be featured on albums with some of the most recognizable names in the underground and have released their own compilation projects completely for free to fans.
Death Jam Recordings Vol. 1 (a spin on Def Jam) was released on Hallows Eve at midnight 2018. This album features some great MC's from Kung Fu Vampire, Danny Diablo, Ruste Juxx, Insane Poetry, Scum, and Donnie Menace to name a few. The album goes hard and never let's you up for air right from the intro to the closing track. Death Jam is legendary.
With 8 projects dropped by December 2018, 1 week prior to Christmas Flatlinerz released Creature Features a free Xmas gift to fans. The album was a collection of features from the previous 4 years, with tracks from Sonny Seeza of Onyx, Kool G Rap, Scum, Insane Poetry, Mr. Hyde, Reef Da Lost Cause, Gorilla Voltage, Lex The Hex Master, Alla Xul Elu, Blaze Ya Dead Homie, Fuego Flamez and Myzery among others. The album also comes with a bonus track entitled "Get Away".
As 2019 marked the 25th anniversary of their release Under Satan's Authority (U.S.A.) album, a national co-headlining tour with the Legendary Detroit rapper and Acid Rap creator Esham was being booked, scheduled for the spring of 2020. That tour was brought to a halt as the entire world would simultaneously be shut down in early 2020, remaining that way for the next 2 years prohibiting live music, preventing large gatherings and concert venues from operating.
Over the next few years the world would break out into chaos, full of death, riots, forced agendas, and government overreach. As 2025 approached there were no signs or any plans in sight for a return to music. Then as things sat idly still, there were signs of a return, as posts on social media started circulating from Reel Wolf Productions stating that new music is on the way from the Flatlinerz in 2026. We are just around the corner from the new year and it seems this next era of the Flatlinerz is looking to be their biggest return yet. And with the launch of Horrorcore.net it seems that the Flatlinerz are back to reclaim their throne as the Leaders of Horrorcore.
In this day and age, how suiting that these guys would return with a much needed presence in the music industry.
Cheers to 30 Years of Horrorcore.
