Lil Yachty Recalls Writing A Hit For City Girls On New Track “A Cold Sunday”

by

Lil Yachty recently unveiled his new track “A Cold Sunday” to kick off yet another year of successful releases. So far, listeners are loving the song, praising the Georgia-born performer for his lyrical prowess. The jazzy single also sees Lil Yachty revisit writing a hit for City Girls, the 2018 Girl Code cut “Act Up.”

“She a City Girl, I’m the real reason that she ‘Act Up,’” he reminisces on the song. This is far from the first time Lil Yachty has boasted about writing the fan-favorite, however. According to him, he made a killing off of the raunchy track, which is why he’s remained unfazed by criticism. “That was an eight-figure check, no cap, and it’s still coming!” he told fans on Instagram Live in 2020. “Seven, I’m sorry. Seven. Look, let me talk to whoever that civilian was on the last insert, whoever that nice civilian was. These n***as be so closed-minded, right? And these n***as ain’t never seen no real money, right?”

Lil Yachty Unveils New Song “A Cold Sunday”

Back in 2019, he also detailed how the song came to life in an interview with The Fader. According to him, he had to get out of his comfort zone to come up with some of the lyrics, which ultimately proved to be successful. “One day I was in the studio with my best friend Earl and he played the beat and said, ‘Write something for City Girls,’ and I was like, ‘Okay.’ And I just did it,” he described.

“I know them personally, and I know what women like to hear. What’s some, like, raunchy sh*t? I just started saying it, and before I went in the booth I said, ‘No homo, y’all’ because all my boys was in the room… I always wanted to write for somebody, and when I did, and it blew up, it felt so good.” What do you think of Lil Yachty writing “Act Up” for City Girls?

Lil Wayne is a legend of hip-hop. Having started his career as a teenager in the 90s, it is clear Wayne has been around for a while. He has seen pretty much all the music industry has to offer. It is hard to believe he is only 41 years old. However, those would be the facts. Overall, he still has a lot to give, and fans have been excited for him to drop Tha Carter VI. Instead, he dropped off a different project on Friday, although it serves as a teaser for what’s to come.

This project is simply called Tha Fix Before Tha VI. It is an appropriate name given that it is looking to be a prologue to what is coming soon. Of course, any time a legend like Wayne drops a new album, it is going to be a massive deal. This new mixtape only contains 10 songs, including the previously released “Kat Food.” Here, we are highlighting the tape’s opening effort, “Act Up,” which features some help from critically acclaimed Grammy winner, Jon Batiste.

Uh, I put bitches on and they turned on me
They throw that pussy at me then throw dirt on me
But, I know bitches change, so, I’m used to it
And, I’m stuck up in my ways, so, I get like this
