Los Angeles rapper OhGeesy has brought in Detroit’s Big Sean for “Left Right,” a single released on Friday, October 16, with an official video on his own YouTube channel. Produced by Oh Ross, the track keeps the Shoreline Mafia co-founder in the 1980s electro-funk lane his group has worked all year, with Big Sean taking the second verse.
Who OhGeesy is, for listeners outside California
OhGeesy, born Alejandro Carranza in 1993, is a Mexican American rapper who started out with the future members of Shoreline Mafia in 2012. He met his main creative partner, Fenix Flexin, while both were doing graffiti in Los Angeles, and by 2016 the crew had become a full rap group. When Shoreline Mafia appeared to split in 2021, he went solo. His first album, Geezyworld, came out in August 2021 with guests including YG, DaBaby, A Boogie wit da Hoodie and the London rapper Central Cee, and reached No. 102 on the US albums chart.
The solo years were steady rather than explosive. “Get Fly” with DaBaby went gold, “Geekaleek” with Cash Kidd went platinum, and “Heat Stick,” a 2024 reunion with Fenix Flexin, reached No. 97 on the US singles chart and No. 22 on the rap chart. In June 2024 he and Fenix Flexin performed “Geekaleek” at Kendrick Lamar’s Juneteenth concert, The Pop Out, at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, the two of them sharing a stage again.
A timeline of the Shoreline revival
“Left Right” lands at the end of a busy stretch. Here is how the past 18 months stack up, according to OhGeesy’s official bio and his discography:
- 2025: Shoreline Mafia reunites at Coachella, then plays a sold-out Back In Bidness Tour finale at the Kia Forum for more than 12,000 fans, with YG, Ty Dolla $ign, Coi Leray and Big Sean among the guests.
- May 2026: The group releases the EP Bidness Is Boomin, built on 1980s R&B, electro-funk and Latin freestyle. Its single “Rockin” samples Debbie Deb’s 1986 track “Funky Little Beat.”
- Summer 2026: Fenix Flexin’s solo single “Rubberz” reaches No. 58 on the US singles chart, his team says.
- Recent months: Shoreline Mafia supports $uicideboy$ on select Grey Day Tour dates, and OhGeesy closes a solo tour with a sold-out show in San Bernardino.
- October 16, 2026: “Left Right” with Big Sean arrives with its video.
Seen in that order, the Big Sean feature is less a surprise than a payoff. Big Sean had already shared the Kia Forum stage with the group, and pairing a Detroit star with an LA crew widens the audience for a sound that has been mostly a West Coast pleasure.
How the song works
The beat stacks bright piano chords on 808 drums and a heavy bass line, the same retro palette as Bidness Is Boomin. OhGeesy plays the host, calling everyone to the party and leaning on luxury brags; his team singled out the line “Pulled up in a Maybach, this is not an Audi” from his verse. Big Sean shifts the energy on the second verse, moving from a smooth, melodic delivery into a faster flow built around a run of Cartier references.
The pairing is the record’s selling point: OhGeesy’s brusque bragging set against Big Sean’s smoother, more melodic phrasing, a contrast his own team leans on in describing the song. The weak spot is the writing: the lines his own team chose to highlight stay inside familiar territory, money, cars and designer frames, so the song has to win on mood. The video takes a futuristic approach, featuring both rappers alongside a cast of women, which matches the party pitch rather than reframing it.
For a solo career whose biggest moments have often come with Fenix Flexin beside him, “Left Right” is a test of how far OhGeesy can travel on his own name with a big feature. Early numbers are modest but real: the video had about 147,000 views on his channel four days after release.
