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.

These Were Canada's No. 1 Songs and Albums in 2016

As everyone on social media yearns for a decade ago, we take a look at the landmark year for Canadian music when the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 and Canadian Albums charts were ruled by Justin Bieber, Drake, The Weeknd, Alessia Cara and more.

The year is 2016: skinny jeans are in style, Instagram photo filters are all the rage, TikTok doesn't exist and Canadian artists are ruling the Billboard charts.

A decade later, many are yearning for the recent past. Decade-old photo carousels have flooded social media feeds. Somehow, 2016 is the latest trend to take over Instagram and TikTok, nostalgically romanticizing a pre-pandemic world before AI ruled, the world, brainrot wasn't a thing and basic human rights weren’t being stripped stateside (though there was also a notable election that year).
