Mixtape: Shoreline Mafia – Shoreline in London (Hosted by Trap-A-Holics)

Premiered on Mixtape Madness Ahead of the Group’s First Headlining UK Show, Shoreline In London Shares New Single “Grease Lightning”, Compiled with Some of the L.A. Collective Biggest Hits

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 Tape:

Perfecting their signature brand of party positive rap, L.A.’s Shoreline Mafia is quickly developing a global following. Preparing for their first headlining show in the UK, Shoreline Mafia collaborates with Trap-A-Holics and UK rap website Mixtape Madness to release Shoreline In London, a compilation tape. Released ahead of Fenix Flexin and OhGeesy‘s sold-out performance last night at London’s Islington Assembly Hall, Shoreline In London collects some of the collective’s best-loved tracks, including the Platinum-selling “Bands” and Gold records “Musty” and “Nun Major,” along with the new song “Grease Lightning.” 

A collaboration between Fenix Flexin and UK rapper Kilo Jugg, who was the opening act for last night show, “Grease Lightning” is a slo-mo trap banger, illustrating the surprising connection between the dark sonic worlds of UK drill and L.A. function. Shoreline Mafia’s London concert is the latest stop on OhGeesy and Fenix Flexin’s “Euro Wave Tour,” a 16-date, 14-country tour through Europe. The Shoreline In London compilation is available to stream and download for free at Mixtape Madness and on Audiomack.

Last month, Shoreline Mafia shared Party Pack Vol. 2, their latest 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), as they explore several unique sonic avenues within the collective’s dark and minimalist sound world. With production from frequent Shoreline collaborators like Ron-Ron and Ace The Face, along with hitmaker D.A. Doman (Tyga’s “Taste”), the project peaked at #4 on Apple Music, landing six songs on the service’s Top 200 charts. The new EP peaked at #61 on the Billboard 200 and helped propel the group to the top 50 on Rolling Stone‘s new Artist 500 chart. Shoreline Mafia currently sits at #89 on that chart, with more than 12.8 million streams on their catalog in the past week.

Shortly after wrapping up the “Euro Wave Tour” later this month, Fenix and OhGeesy head straight back on the road for the national “Paid In Full 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. The two collective members spent September performing at festivals, bringing their unique stage energy to Papas Beach Bash (Rosarito, MX), Life Is Beautiful (Las Vegas, NV), and Rolling Loud Bay Area (Oakland, CA).
