[Pro Era](/source/Pro_Era) formed their collective while attending Edward R. Murrow High School. [The Underachievers](/source/The_Underachievers) and [Zombie Juice](/source/Zombie_Juice) became acquainted through a childhood friend of [AK the Savior](/source/AK_the_Savior). The co-founder of Pro Era, [Capital Steez](/source/Capital_Steez), died by suicide in December 2012, followed by the death of ASAP Yams in 2015, who is credited for introducing Pro Era to the Flatbush Zombies.[7] In 2019, the supergroup released three singles ahead of their debut album, *Escape from New York*, released on May 24, 2019. The group also announced a North American tour beginning on July 23 and ending on August 16.[8][9][10] ## Members ### Current - [Joey Bada$$](/source/Joey_Bada$$) - [Kirk Knight](/source/Kirk_Knight) - [CJ Fly](/source/CJ_Fly) - [Meechy Darko](/source/Meechy_Darko) - [Zombie Juice](/source/Zombie_Juice) - [Erick Arc Elliott](/source/Erick_Arc_Elliott) - [AK the Savior](/source/AK_the_Savior) - [Issa Gold](/source/Issa_Gold) - [Nyck Caution](/source/Nyck_Caution) - [Powers Pleasant](/source/Powers_Pleasant) - Aaron Rose - [Chuck Strangers](/source/Chuck_Strangers) - [Dessy Hinds](/source/Dessy_Hinds) - Dirty Sanchez - Danny Phantom 47 - J.A.B. - Jakk The Rhymer - Rokamouth ### Former - [Capital Steez](/source/Capital_Steez) (deceased) ## Discography ### Studio albums Title Details Peak chart positions US [11] AUS [12] NZ [13] Escape from New York Released: May 24, 2019 Label: Beast Coast Media Formats: Digital download, streaming 29 95 32 ### Singles Title Year Peak chart positions Album NZ Hot [14] "Left Hand" (featuring Joey Bada$$, Flatbush Zombies, The Underachievers, Kirk Knight, Nyck Caution, and CJ Fly)[15] 2019 — Escape from New York "Coast/Clear" (featuring Joey Bada$$, Flatbush Zombies, Kirk Knight, Nyck Caution, and Issa Gold)[16] — "Snow in the Stadium" (featuring Erick the Architect, Joey Bada$$, Meechy Darko, Kirk Knight, CJ Fly, and Issa Gold)[17] 36 ### Other charted songs Title Year Peak chart positions Album NZ Hot [14] "Distance" 2019 29 Escape from New York "It Ain't Easy, It Ain't Easy" 39 ## References 1.
