City Girls get real RAW in their new third studio album, which was released Friday (Oct. 20).

The 18-track project includes previously released singles “I Need a Thug,” “Piñata,” “No Bars,” “Face Down” and “Good Love,” featuring Usher. The other featured guests include Lil Durk (“Static”), Muni Long (“Emotions”), Juicy J (“Fancy Ass Bitch”) and Kim Petras (“Flashy”). They teamed up with Petras to tease the sugary sweet pop hook of “Flashy” (“Stylin’, shinin’ / I’m so flawless like my diamonds / I’m flashy / Big bags, price tags / You know all I wear is name brands / I’m flashy,” Petras coos) the day before the album dropped.

RAW is the follow-up to their 2020 sophomore album City on Lock, which reached No. 29 on the Billboard 200 and spawned Billboard Hot 100 singles “P—y Talk,” with Doja Cat, and “Jobs.” Since then, the dynamic rap duo has released a slew of singles, including “Twerkulator” and “Act Bad” (with Diddy and Fabolous). Yung Miami and JT have also released their own singles, with Yung Miami making her solo debut in 2021 with “Rap Freaks” and JT releasing her debut solo single “No Bars” this year.

City Girls performed “No Bars” and “Face Down” at the 2023 BET Hip Hop Awards, where they were nominated for best duo or group. Yung Miami’s “Caresha Please” won best hip hop platform.

She previously caught up with Billboard at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards, where Yung Miami teased she had a “reality show” on the way.

Kneecap Blasts Norwegian Government at Oslo Festival, Accusing It of Funding ‘Genocide’ Against Palestinians

The Irish rap trio went after the Norwegian government over its investments, which are currently under scrutiny, at Øyafestivalen.

Irish rap group Kneecap – which has drawn a storm of criticism, support, attention and legal action over the past half-year – continued to speak out about the war in Gaza during an afternoon set at the Øyafestivalen in Oslo, Norway, on Friday (Aug. 8).

Right before the trio of Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí took the stage, an English-language white-text-on-black-background message played on a video screen, accusing the Norwegian government of “enabling” the “genocide” against the Palestinian people via investments held in the county’s sovereign wealth fund (referenced as “oil pension fund” in the message). “Over 80,000 people have been murdered by Israel in 21 months,” the band’s message continued. “Free Palestine.” The message was greeted readily by a cheering audience. Most estimates (including those from health officials in the area) place the Palestinian death toll at more than 60,000. That number does not distinguish between civilians and Hamas militants. An estimated 18,500 of those killed were children.
