Shoreline Mafia Members: Who's Still in the L.A. Rap Group?

Who is in Shoreline Mafia? Today the Los Angeles rap group is a duo: OhGeesy and Fenix Flexin, who reunited in 2023 after a three-year split. The original lineup had four members, with Rob Vicious and Master Kato alongside them, and their music video for "Bands" puts all four on screen at once.

More on Shoreline Mafia: Every member, the 2020 split and the reunion

Shoreline Mafia came up through SoundCloud and the LA party circuit. They built a following with raw, bass-heavy records that sounded made for house parties and car speakers, not radio. Songs like "Musty" and "Nun Major" spread through word of mouth long before industry attention caught up. Their sound was unpolished on purpose: gritty production, rapid-fire verses and a chemistry among the four that made each record feel like a group chat set to a beat.

"Bands" comes from the 2018 mixtape Shoreline Mafia Presents Rob Vicious: Traplantic. The project centers on Rob Vicious, with the rest of the crew rotating in beside him. The title winks at the group's deal with Atlantic Records. The mixtape showed that Shoreline Mafia could bring its street-level energy to a major label without sanding it down.

The group's strength has always been contrast. Rob Vicious, who also produces, brings a laid-back, menacing delivery. Fenix Flexin is the melodic counterweight. Ohgeesy, arguably the crew's breakout voice, is loud and quotable. Master Kato rounds out the original lineup. "Bands" captures that balance, with each member getting room to stand out without breaking the song's momentum.

For fans who found Shoreline Mafia through its later releases or the members' solo work, "Bands" is a useful look back at the moment the group moved from local favorite to label priority.

Who are the original Shoreline Mafia members?

The original four were OhGeesy (Alejandro Carranza), Fenix Flexin (Fenix Rypinski), Rob Vicious (Robert Magee) and Master Kato (Malik Carson). OhGeesy and Fenix go back the furthest: they met in 2012 doing graffiti in Los Angeles and were making music together before Shoreline Mafia became a rap group in 2016. Their debut mixtape, ShorelineDoThatShit, arrived in November 2017, and Traplantic followed on July 13, 2018.

Did Shoreline Mafia break up?

Briefly. In April 2020, Fenix Flexin announced that the album Mafia Bidness would be his last with the group. The album still reached No. 27 on the Billboard 200, but the crew went quiet after his announcement. The comeback started with OhGeesy and Fenix on stage together at the Hollywood Palladium on October 6, 2023, and in May 2024 they released "Heat Stick" as Shoreline Mafia, now a duo.

Who is in Shoreline Mafia now?

Today Shoreline Mafia is OhGeesy and Fenix Flexin. Rob Vicious and Master Kato were part of the group from 2016 to 2020, the run that produced "Musty," "Nun Major," "Bands" and "Gangstas & Sippas" with Q Da Fool and YG.
