History

Shoreline Mafia was composed of four members: OhGeesy (real name: Alejandro Coranza), Rob Vicious (Robert Maggee), Fenix Flexin (Fenix Rypinski) and Master Kato (Malik Carson). Ohgeesy and Fenix met in 2012 while doing graffiti in Los Angeles. The pair began making music soon after, and, sometime later, Rob Vicious and Master Kato joined them. Although they produced music for several years, they did not become a rap group until 2016. They chose the name Shoreline Mafia at some point after their formation.

In November 2017, they independently released their first full-length mixtape, ''ShoreLineDoThatShit''. The album featured songs such as "Nun Major," "Musty," and "Bottle Service". Most of the songs on the album were produced by Ron-Ron including "Musty" and "Bottle Service", the beats for which the group was not initially authorized to use. Despite this, the two parties eventually formed a partnership that continues to exist. In December of that year, the group performed at the Rolling Loud Festival in San Bernardino, California. In the spring of 2018, the group headlined their "Only The Xclusives" (OTX) tour.

In May 2018, Atlantic Records announced that it had signed Shoreline Mafia. At that time, the label also re-released ''ShoreLineDoThatShit'' and debuted a new music video for the song "Musty". Later that month, the group embarked on the "Still OTX" tour, which included stops at the Rolling Loud Festival in Miami and, later, at the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 Music Festival in New York. In June 2018, Shoreline Mafia was featured on songs on the ''Ron-Ron and Friends'' compilation mixtape alongside 03 Greedo, Drakeo the Ruler, and others.

The following month, Rob Vicious released a solo mixtape titled ''Traplantic''. The songs on the album also featured members of Shoreline Mafia, including "Bands" which had verses from everyone. In August 2018, the group released a 4-track EP called ''Party Pack'' via Atlantic Records. In the fall of 2018, the band went on their "Only The Xclusives" tour throughout the United States. The group also performed at the Los Angeles iteration of the Rolling Loud Festival in December 2018. In early April 2020, Fenix Flexin announced that he would be leaving Shoreline Mafia after the release of their new album, '' Mafia Bidness''. The album followed on July 31, 2020.
