Video: Shoreline Mafia – “Wings”
The L.A. Rap Collective Shares a Slick Clip for a Party Pack Vol. 2 Highlight As They Hit the Road on Their Headlining “Paid In Full 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 Video:
Tearing up functions with their heavy-hitting hedonism, L.A.’s favorite rap collective Shoreline Mafia deliver banger after banger. Giving the visual treatment to the opening track from their recent Party Pack Vol. 2 EP, Shoreline Mafia shares the video for “Wings.” Produced by D.A. Doman (Tyga’s “Taste,” Kodak Black’s “ZEZE”), “Wings” is an addictive, speaker-knocking slapper, carried by Doman’s signature manipulated vox and OhGeesy and Fenix Flexin‘s DGAF witticisms: “This your b*tch? She the homie b*tch/On Instagram we flex your homie sh*t,” rhymes Fenix Flexin. In the video, premiered by Complex, Fenix and OhGeesy hole up in a tropical mansion like Pablo Escobar, counting cash in the presence of a cadre of female bodyguards. Last night, Shoreline hosted an event for their most-devoted superfans, offering them a first look at the “Wings” music video and a chance to meet their idols.
The video for “Wings” arrives as OhGeesy and Fenix Flexin prepare to embark on the “Paid In Full Tour,” which kicks off tonight in Edmonton. Immediately following the collective’s international “Euro Wave Tour”, the headlining “Paid In Full Tour” will take the two Shoreline Mafia rappers coast-to-coast, topping the bill at clubs and theaters across the country. With a stop at New York’s Webster Hall on November 11th, tickets for Shoreline Mafia’s “Paid In Full Tour” are currently on sale.
Shoreline Mafia is documenting the “Paid In Full” tour with a fan-sourced “Paid In Full Photobook.” Fans attending the “Paid In Full Tour” are encouraged to take their own photos and upload them to https://www.hellawave.com/TourDiary/, a special page on the Shoreline Mafia website for a gallery of “Paid In Full Tour” photos. The best fan photos will then be included (with full credit) in a hardcover coffee table book, eventually becoming available for sale at Shoreline concerts or at the collective’s website. The upcoming Tour Diary coffee table book is a tribute to the unique bond between the band and its fans, and proves just how integral their passion is to the Shoreline operation.
A tight nine-pack of radio-ready West Coast snap, Party Pack Vol. 2 showcases the lived-in chemistry between the collective’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 D.A. Doman, 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 collective to the top 50 on Rolling Stone‘s new Artist 500 chart. Shoreline Mafia currently sits at #120 on that chart, with more than 13.6 million streams on their catalog in the past week.
