Released on September 9, 2023, “City Boyz” takes us on a high-energy journey through the hustle and revelry of urban life. Set against a backdrop of hard-pounding drums and bold lyricism, this record is an unapologetic celebration of the city boy lifestyle.
“City Boyz” kicks off with a lively intro from Flocka BLR, setting the stage for the city boy experience. It then segues into the hook which is skillfully delivered by Flocka BLR and serves as the song’s pulsating heart. With infectious energy, Flocka BLR invites listeners to join the posse in their quest for litty nights and lavish living:
City boy in a city
We blowing money trees, smoking weed, it get litty
Tequila 5 shot, ɔtia mu “Menfeelli me ti
Me ti, me ti, me ti, me ti, me ti, me ti”
Whoa! Whoa!
The repetition of “me ti me ti me ti” and ‘Whoa! Whoa!’ adds a hypnotic element, driving home the mesmerizing nature of his lifestyle. References to blowing “money trees”, indulging in tequila shots, and living it up are prominent, setting the tone for the track’s festivities.
PsykoWorldwide opens the first verse with a relentless flow that matches the opulence and vibrancy of the scene he describes. He rhymes about making money, fashion, and the high life, creating a vivid picture of lavish city living. The line, ‘Living that lavish, making money on stashes’ encapsulates PsykoWorldwide’s approach to the hustle.
Chief Kellz steps up to the mic in the second verse with a seamless blend of Twi and English, and his lyrics effortlessly balance the allure of the party with the grit of the streets. His verse is flavored with references to drinking liquor straight and partying in AirBnBs, suggesting a free-spirited approach to urban living.
A-Clipse then takes the reins, delivering a verse that’s both introspective and triumphant. His wordplay is sharp, reflecting his determination to rise above mediocrity. Lines like ‘We got Henny, tequila and chasers, so we don’t want no minimum wages,’ underline his ambition and disdain for settling. A-Clipse’s verse adds depth to the posse’s narrative, showing a drive for success that matches the extravagance celebrated throughout the track.
Produced by Blaze, the “City Boyz” beat aptly captures the essence of city living. The instrumentation is a bold fusion of intricate traditional elements with contemporary trap influences, creating a sonic landscape that mirrors the frenetic energy of urban life.
