Talk It Up<\/em> series, powered by DistroKid, to discuss the new music they’re working on this year, collaborating with Coi Leray, what’s next and more.<\/p>\nThe California-based duo represent a small pool of rap groups that still exist in the culture. In 2020, Fenix, 30, and Ohgeesy, 32, dropped their Mafia Bidness<\/em> album, right\u00a0in the heart of the pandemic, serving certified slappers like “Bands” and “Perc Popper” that summer. Then the two took a break from Shoreline business to dedicate time to their solo careers. Fenix released four projects, including Fenix Flexin Vol. 1<\/em> through 3<\/em> and Back Flexin<\/em> between 2021 and 2024, while Ohgeesy dropped GeezyWorld<\/em>, GeezyWorld 2<\/em>, the joint project Trophies<\/em> with Berner and Geesy’s\u00a0Paid N Full<\/em> album during 2021 to 2025.<\/p>\nAfter four years apart, Shoreline reconnected as a duo for their\u00a0Back in Bidness<\/em> album last spring, featuring the well-received title track, “Touch Down” and “Back 2 Back.” They also strengthened their name with appearances on Coi’s “Act Like You Know” and YG’s “Hollywood” in 2025. This new era of Shoreline Mafia is going up. “I think the fans are loving it, Ohgeesy says. “We got three gold records in a year.”<\/p>\n“The old fans, the day-one supporters, they rock with us the same way that they always have,” Fenix adds. “But I will say, it’s a whole new generation of fans of people who caught up onto our music within the four years,\u00a0that\u00a0didn’t even know who people was in the group. They just heard the music of Shoreline Mafia. Now that they putting a face to the\u00a0music they been listening to, I feel like it brings a lot more excitement to the crowd.”<\/p>\n
For their Coi collab “Act Like You Know,” the two rappers were surprised to find out she had been in tune with their movement for a while. “She said she been f**kin’ with Shoreline for a long time,” Oghseey shares. “Once we heard the beat, we were like, we doing this for sure. And I feel like she purposely made it with an L.A., West Coast [sound]. Once she said, ‘Put it on the dead homies,’ I was like, we getting on this.”\u00a0“We heard it and was like, this is the perfect fit,” Fenix adds.<\/p>\n
Looking into 2026,\u00a0new Shoreline Mafia music is on the way. They’re figuring out the direction they want to go in, but it will definitely include some playa vibes for the ladies and leveling up. “We\u00a0in that kitchen right,” Fenix maintains. “Touching different bases and different emotions, you know what I mean, that we going through that the fans can connect to. And that’s all of our growth over the music.” “We make some grown and sexy sh*t,” Ohgeesy\u00a0says.<\/p>\n
