After heavy online discourse and several delays, City Girls’ third studio album, RAW (Real Ass Wh*res) is nearly here. Critics may push back against their subject matter, but their tried-and-true fan base loves it. Given the title of the forthcoming album, there will be another more p*ssy rap for all the detractors to complain about.

Here’s everything you need to know about City Girls’ RAW, including the release date, artwork, and more.

During an interview with VIBE, member Yung Miami spoke about their joint goal for the body of work: “We just wanna show that we are authentic, ourselves, and raw. We just wanted to bring that City Girl energy, fun music, and alter ego music for women. Raw, real-ass women, real b*tches. And that’s just what it is. I hope that our fans will be able to see our growth. I hope that they’ll be able to see that we put our blood, sweat, and tears into this album. This album means so much to us. It’s been three years. This is our first real album since JT been home, and it’s a body of work.”

Release Date

RAW (Real Ass Wh*res) is out 10/20 via Quality Control Music/Motown Music. Find more information here.

Tracklist

Due to past issues with projects being leaked, City Girls seemingly decided to keep their tracklist a secret until it hits streaming platforms. Once the tracklist is revealed, this section will be updated.

Singles

So far, City Girls have released several singles, including “Act Bad” with Diddy featuring Fabolous, “Top Notch” featuring Fivio Foreign, “I Need A Thug,” “Pinata,” and “Face Down,” that provide a taste of what’s to come with the project. However, whether these tracks will appear on RAW is unclear.

Tour

As of today (October 17), City Girls has not announced a formal tour to support the album. They haven’t had a major headlining run throughout their career due to several circumstances, including member JT’s past legal battles, which resulted in a short prison stint. However, the duo has consistently made festival appearances. Last year, they hit the road with Jack Harlow as opening support. With the slated release of RAW, if the group does decide to embark on a tour, this could mark their first major headlining tour.

City Girls Announced Their New Album ‘RAW (Real Ass Wh*res)’ After An Electrifying BET Hip-Hop Awards Performance

by

Miami rap duo City Girls is three years removed from the release of their last album, City On Lock. Since then, they haven’t lost any of their momentum while pursuing other projects, including solo singles and Yung Miami’s show Caresha Please. This month, they’ll build on the foundation they’ve already laid with their third studio album, RAW, which they announced during last night’s BET Hip-Hop Awards.

The album’s title is an acronym, which stands for “Real Ass Wh*res,” and its release date will be next Friday, October 20. They’ve released a steady stream of singles this year, including “Face Down,” “I Need A Thug,” and “Piñata,” and while none has been a runaway hit like “Act Up,” they’ve been enough to drive excitement among the girls’ hardcore day-one fans — which is usually all you need at times like these. Meanwhile, they also delivered a crowd-pleasing performance at the BET Hip-Hop Awards, proving that demand for their services is still just as high as ever.

While fans have been waiting for a new album from JT and Yung Miami, they’ve both kept busy. Yung Miami has had her show on Revolt, while JT launched her No Bars Reform initiative in July.

RAW (Real Ass Wh*res) is due on 10/20 via Quality Control Music.
