He goes into depth about the highs and lows of making it in the rap game and how it’s affected his personal life. The lyricist recants all of his personal experiences in the EP and not all of them are that relatable.
Future-proofing to me is not just buying the latest computer, it’s Improving your diet, it’s making sure that your mental stability is where it’s supposed to be because we’re so fragile, you know? Everyone is running everyone is feeling this anxious. That manic feeling futureproofing to me is similar in the sense that when I look at history, I look at 19, very similar to 20, where we’re going through a transitional period where we kind of don’t know it’s an unforeseeable future. In an interview with Clash Music, Erick the Architect explains the 5 pillars of being Future Proof: mental stability, recycling, ownership, copyright, and your diet. The artist’s musicality seriously shines through, starting off by showcasing a piano in the opening track, ‘I Can’t Lose.’ As an instrumentalist himself-he plays keyboard, piano, and guitar-we can see euphonious melodies were paramount in Future Proof‘s production. The 5-track, 17-minute record might be short, but it’s the perfect introduction to Erick the Architect’s solo work. But it’s just as real and raw as you’d expect. The project explores the rapper’s own style, which might be softer than what you’ll find in FBZ. But he also makes music solo as Erick the Architect… and his debut project, Future Proof EP, is immaculate. You might know Erick Arc Elliot for his spot alongside Meechy Darko and Zombie Juice in the legendary Brooklyn rap collective Flatbush Zombies.
