OhGeesy, 320babii, Yung Chowder

As a founder of the controversial drug-induced rap group Shoreline Mafia, OhGeesy (Mexican-American rapper Alejandro Carranza) continues to “stand on business” since the group's breakup in 2020. His meteoric rise is no coincidence, as he seemingly releases new music and videos with the same frequency as the Inlander puts out papers. As a club DJ, I always have slappers like “Musty” and “GEEKALEEK” ready to queue up to maintain energy on the dance floor. The sheer number of Shoreline Mafia hits, singles and features by OhGeesy makes it easy to find a handful of songs that incite peoples’ more hedonistic behaviors in the club. The catchy drug, food and money references call to mind a Will Ferrell quote from Blades of Glory: “No one knows what it means, but it’s provocative. It gets the people going.”
