History

808 Mafia was founded in 2010 when rapper Waka Flocka Flame came up with the idea of a production team, made of his frequent collaborators Lex Luger and Southside.

Its members have also independently worked on songs with Kanye West, Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross, Fabolous, Pusha T, and Wiz Khalifa.^[5]^[6]

A sequel called 808 Mafia II was announced for release on December 21, 2012,^[8] but was later delayed multiple times. In March 2013, a trailer for the tape was released to the team's YouTube channel.^[9] 808 Mafia II was released on April 23, 2013, via LiveMixtapes.
