Starting point is 00:00:00 very interesting civil war that's going on in the united states which is city boys versus city girls i think that's one of the most hilarious and just straight up comedic battles i've ever seen from two different groups because the pettiness is at a high time uh is is at an all-time high the extremity is at an all-time high. I mean, look no further than Blueface versus Krashern Rock. If that's not City Boy versus City Girl, then I don't know what it is. So anyways, Burnaboy has a track titled City Boys on his new album titled I Told Them. It's track number 10 produced by MDS and Rubin.
Starting point is 00:00:54 And the reason why this is a big deal, because the title, of course. And also, you know, it's a big topic in the United States as far as city boys versus city girls. And there's a very interesting discussion that I think it's just one of those that's had when you're trying to get into the art of escapism. If you don't know what escapeism is, it's very much needed at times. But it's when, you know, stuff in your own life may not be going as well. So sometimes you escape into other forms of entertainment, whether it's a podcast, music, TV shows. Everybody does it. It's nothing bad about it.
Starting point is 00:01:25 But you just have to acknowledge that's what it is. so back to the track burner boy putting out this track title city boys and for it to be literally the track that they're promoting on all major platform playlists as far as his label
Starting point is 00:01:41 um what's a unit no his label uh Atlantic if you don't know burner boys under Atlantic recording corporation so with that being said they definitely know what they're doing with trying to promote this
Starting point is 00:01:55 style of a track and I'm not going to say that I'm not interested to hear the contents of this track because whenever an artist drops an album I don't try to critique the album I try to get into other facts about the album like the objective facts about the runtime producers etc etc features for this specific track obviously I haven't listened to it I can't give any review of it I can't give a review of it but i will say that i'm very excited to listen to this entire album because like i said the afrobees genre is a very positive type of vibe that it gives off and not to mention they be they be moving at uh afro beat concerts let me just say that it's it's um
Starting point is 00:02:54 an interesting setting that i believe a lot of people would find a lot of entertainment being in and being a part of so with that being said bernher boy and his album i told them especially this track city boys is more than likely going to go up at whatever type of uh afro beats centric club you go to and i would be very um what's the word to experience that in person. Let's just say that. Because I feel like the Afrobeats type of party is a unique one. So that be it said, click my link tree in my bio.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Let me know one of my social medias. What do you think about Burnaboy and the Trac City Boys? Have you listened to it? And if you have, do you think is fire or trash? And also, would you be interested in? go into an Afro-B centric style type of club.
