Key quotes
· 3 pulledIn high school, Fenix Flexin and OhGeesy became cool through a life of tagging, skating, and hitting up L.A. area EDM clubs.
They later went onto form the rap crew Shoreline Mafia, who in the late 2010s had a couple summers on lock with a few songs that I consider to be essential in the West Coast party rap canon.
To this day—after a breakup and a reunion that trimmed the four-man group down to a duo—they remain massively popular regional rap stars with diehards who swear by them, a luxury that gives the dudes the freedom to just do shit.
