From their work amongst the likes of Drake, Rihanna, Usher, Miley Cyrus, Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber, and Ariana Grande, to their Billboard Hot 100-charting hit “Locked Away” featuring Adam Levine, R. City has a colossal reputation.
Their new single “WAPA” take from their upcoming mixtape “This Is Not A Drill…This Is Really Happening!” is an ode to their Caribbean roots, and fans with riveting components of UK Drill for a cultural mashup you never knew you needed.
“WAPA” will drive you wild with an adrenaline high of 808’s, quick banter snaps like a rubber-band, and a stone cold vocal that commands the track. Written about life in the Virgin Islands, R. City honours their heritage with lyrics dedicated to that one of a kind Caribbean swagger. R. City boasts, “Every yankee in America playing this tune like what is this?” “WAPA” is a bold, undeniably charming take on drill with lyrics that transport you to the islands.
Take a listen to “WAPA” below:
R. City is composed of brothers Timothy and Theron Thomas. They’ve contributed to Grammy-nominated albums including Rihanna’s Unapologetic, Jennifer Hudson’s self-titled album, and Ariana Grande’s My Everything. Ready to emerge with a hot new mixtape, “WAPA” is only just the start of R. City’s paramount next chapter.
