Shoreline Mafia – “Caribbean” (Prod. by Ron-Ron)
L.A.’s Favorite Rap Collective Take the Shoreline Lifestyle to the Tropics in the Latest Vid From Party Pack Vol. 2 EP
Burning up the West Coast and beyond with their electric chemistry, Shoreline Mafia work hard and function even harder. Heading down to the tropics to spread their signature brand of turn-up, the L.A. rap collective shares “Caribbean,” a new music video. With an ethereal, head-nodding production from longtime Shoreline sound architect Ron-Ron, “Caribbean” is a lyrical showcase for OhGeesy and Rob Vicious, who dish out internal rhyme after internal rhyme: “I’m like Wheezy but I’m ‘Geesy, I be runnin’ ’round on fire/My lil’ juvie keep the Uzi, and it’s always right beside him,” rhymes OhGeesy.
In the video, OhGeesy and Fenix Flexin head to Hawaii, an ocean away from the Caribbean but with a similar island vibe, and taking a tour of the parts of the Aloha State that don’t show up in tourism books. Meanwhile, back in L.A., Rob Vicious has the time of his life at a local club. “Caribbean” is the latest video from Shoreline’s Party Pack Vol. 2, following the Fenix Flexin-featuring “Fell In Love” (5+ million YouTube views).
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 #72 on Rolling Stone‘s new Artist 500 chart (with 12 million total streams on the Shoreline discography in the past week).
Earlier this month, Shoreline Mafia announced the “Paid In Full Tour,” an upcoming headlining Fall 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 the meantime 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.
