Erick Elliott (born August 12, 1988), better known as Erick Arc Elliott or Erick the Architect, is an American rapper, singer, artist and record producer from Brooklyn, New York. A member of the hip hop trio Flatbush Zombies, Elliott has released multiple solo projects as well, including "I've Never Been Here Before" in February of 2024.
Elliott plays multiple instruments including the keyboard, piano, and the guitar. He is the primary producer of Flatbush Zombies and has produced for other popular acts such as Joey Bada$$, James Blake, and more. He also scored the film "The Choice is Yours (2023)" on Paramount+ starring Black Sheep and J Dilla. He's also featured on the track "Candle Flame" by Jungle that has over 100 million streams.
Unlike his alias might suggest, Elliott did not enroll in architecture school and is not an architect by profession. However, as the primary producer of Flatbush Zombies, the "architect" part of his name refers to constructing the groups' iconic sound.
