City Girls Talk Silencing the Haters with Third Album ‘RAW’: ‘I Hope It Makes Them Fall Back In Love With Us’

Steven J. Horowitz Senior Music Writer It’s been three years since City Girls put out an album, and the last time didn’t go exactly as planned.

In June 2020, their sophomore project “City on Lock” leaked in its entirety — before the album had even been announced — prompting the rap duo to rush-release the record.

For “RAW,” City Girls‘ third studio effort released today, JT and Yung Miami made sure everything was in its right place, which meant delaying the record numerous times over the past few years. “It’s like a stepping stone,” JT tells Variety. “You know how sometimes you just feel like you see everything coming together, but you’ve waited for it to happen for so long?

I just feel so excited. I feel like it’s going to shut a lot of people up too. I feel like a lot of people are going to tune in just to have something to say, and when they finally listen to it, they’re going to like it.” There’s something for everyone on “RAW,” shorthand for “Real Ass Whores,” an album that stays true to the revved-up party-starters that bolster their discography.
