717 Mafia started out as “The Dauphin Mob” as far back as 2003 when the trio were in primary school. The switch to “717 Mafia” was permanent by 2005, after the rappers added the engineer Jeff Audio to their team & member A-V launched Aftershock Records in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, in the spring of 2005. Most of their early works included parodies, humorous skits & cover songs, along with conflict with diss records aimed at other artists, like Jalen McMillan for an example.
