EP: Shoreline Mafia – Party Pack Vol. 2

L.A.’s Favorites Release Lead-Up to Debut Album and Announce Paid in Full National Tour

Critical Praise:

“After dropping a terrific debut album last November — a stylish bundle of songs that somehow felt nonchalant and meticulous at once — Shoreline Mafia has since become one of the most fascinating acts in a resurgent L.A. rap scene. And on Saturday night, the [collective’s] chemistry was something you could practically reach out and touch. These guys love rapping, and even more than that, they love rapping with each other.” – Washington Post

“Videos filmed in graffitied, just-made condos and fluorescent strip malls near East Hollywood helped make Shoreline Mafia the [collective] of choice for truant teenagers. “Musty”  and “Bottle Service” are definitive Shoreline: rollicking, slithering, and, in their creation, laughably janky and blatantly illegal.”  – Noisey

“Shoreline Mafia is leading L.A.’s unruly rap renaissance.” – The FADER

“The only prerequisites to enjoying their music are a functional set of ears” – Passion of the Weiss

The EP + Tour:

Returning with a new soundtrack for kickbacks and functions, L.A. rap collective Shoreline Mafiashares Party Pack Vol. 2, their new EP. A tight nine-pack of radio-ready West Coast snap, Party Pack Vol. 2 showcases the lived-in chemistry between the group’s four emcees (Fenix Flexin, OhGeesy, Rob Vicious, Master Kato), while also opening up the party to kindred spirit guests. The new EP features previously released tracks such as the FADER-premiered Fenix Flexin star vehicle Fell In Love,” released last week to the tune of 1.7 million YouTube views, and Free Drakeo, Free Greedo,” a tribute to 03 Greedo and Drakeo The Ruler, two currently-incarcerated L.A. legends who appear later on the album on closing track “Wake Me Up In Traffic.” 

With production from frequent Shoreline collaborators like Ron-Ron and Ace The Face, along with hitmaker D.A. Doman (Tyga’s “Taste”), the new EP finds several unique sonic avenues within the collective’s dark and minimalist sound world, from the ping-ponging synths and rumbling bass of “Half N Half,” to the bright keys of “Caribbean, to the manipulated vocal samples of the D.A. Doman-produced “Wings. Featuring additional appearances from Curren$yWarhol.SSBandGang Paid Will, and Mac P DawgParty Pack Vol. 2 releases everywhere via Atlantic Records.

Along with the EP, Shoreline Mafia announces the “Paid In Full Tour, their latest headlining tour. Commencing on October 26th, the tour will take Shoreline members Fenix Flexin and OhGeesy coast-to-coast, topping the bill at clubs and theaters across the country. Prior to the “Paid In Full Tour,” Fenix and OhGeesy will take a trip overseas for the “Euro Wave Tour,” a 16-date, 14-country tour through Europe and Canada. The two members of Shoreline Mafia will keep busy in September with festival appearances, bringing their unique stage energy to Papas Beach Bash (Rosarito, MX), Life Is Beautiful (Las Vegas, NV), and Rolling Loud Bay Area (Oakland, CA). Tickets for Shoreline Mafia’s “Paid In Full Tour” are available for sale on September 6th.

Comprised of Fenix FlexinOhGeesyRob Vicious, and Master Kato, Shoreline Mafia leads an exciting new wave of L.A. rappers.

The Background:

Shoreline Mafia isn’t a rap collective— it’s family. For OhGeesy  (real name: Alejandro Carranza), Rob Vicious (Robert Magee), Fenix (Fenix Rypinski) and Master Kato (Malik Carson), hip-hop follows an organic friendship from their native Los Angeles. The collective’s inception happened when OhGeesy and Fenix linked through MySpace in 2012 while doing graffiti in high school. “I had this n**** in my Top Friends,” OhGeesy laughs. “When we met, we had no idea we were gonna make music. But as we were hanging out, doing crazy shit. I got a laptop and began recording myself. Then, Fenix heard it and he was like, “I’m trying to make music too!”
