The Shape Shifters are an underground hip hop collective based in Los Angeles, California. It consists of Akuma, Awol One, Circus, "Die Young," Existereo, "LA Jae," Life Rexall, Perk One. And Radioinactive.

The group prevented the Shapeshifters, another act from the United Kingdom, from using the name in the United States. That resulted in the latter changing its name——to Shape:UK, but for the United States only.
