Erick the Architect has released his first single of 2023 with “Parkour,” produced by James Blake.  "Parkour" is an introduction to the journey Erick started after moving to Los Angeles from his home city of Brooklyn.  Erick says, "it speaks on what it was like to make that move and why I did it — but not forgetting that where I’m from is integral to my growth."  It’s also a taste of more new music on the way in the months ahead from Erick, who is also known as one-third of Flatbush Zombies and the Brooklyn rap group’s primary producer.  “Parkour” features a nimble flow from Erick, washed in woozy production, deep bass and shapeshifting vocal lines to give the track a mysterious, menacing feel.
