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.
