History

808 Mafia formed in 2010 when rapper Waka Flocka Flame decided to create a production team, made up of his frequent collaborators Lex Luger and Southside. The group quickly expanded, adding a number of upcoming and affiliated producers, and is currently signed to Flame's label Brick Squad Monopoly.
The group released its debut self-titled instrumental mixtape in 2012, hosted by Trap-A-Holics, which was produced by and introduced 5 of its members: TM88, Be-Bop, Purps, Bobby Beats, and Tarentino. A sequel called 808 Mafia II, announced for release on December 21, 2012 was repeatedly delayed. In March 2013, a trailer for the tape was released to the team's YouTube channel. 808 Mafia II was eventually released on April 23, 2013 via LiveMixtapes, hosted by Trap-A-Holics, DJ Scream and DJ Drama, and featuring production by Southside, TM88, Purps, Tarentino, Fuse, Chris Fresh, King Trice, OG Taxx and Be Bop.
