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

The 18-track projectincludes 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.
