City Girls have dropped a new track, titled "I Need A Thug." They announced the song's drop earlier today on social media, pumping fans up for their first release of the summer. Yung Miami hinted at new music earlier this year, telling fans they can expect to hear from City Girls this spring and summer. Their newest single samples LL Cool J's 1987 single, "I Need Love." The song sees the duo apply signature City Girls sentiments to the romantic '80s track.
The new single also follows last month's City Girls feature on Diddy's track, "Act Bad." In March, the duo also previewed some new music during their performance at Rolling Loud. They performed their unreleased track “Piñata" for the California crowd in March.
City Girls Sample LL Cool J's "I Need Love"
"I Need A Thug" is the pair's first new release since their 2022 song with Usher, titled "Good Love." The laid-back '80s instrumental is paired with catchy, high-energy bars to create a snappy track about wanting a man who's all about "sex, money, and drugs."
Last month Yung Miami also appeared on The Jason Lee Show where she discussed drama among female rappers. The artist explained feeling as though the game would be much more enjoyable if everyone could just get along. "I feel like it would be so much [more fun] if everybody could just be together,” she revealed. “We could bring each other out on shows and just link up. I feel like bad b*tches should really link up. That would be dope if everybody could just… bring their personalities together.” She also shared her thoughts on her City Girls partner JT, explaining to the host, "that’s my b*tch. We a group.”
Quotable Lyrics:
I need a thug
Sex, money, and drugs (Ow)
Private jet flights while I'm gettin' my back rubbed
Like TLC said, "No scrubs" (No scrubs)
Cut a check before I even give a hug (Uh, yeah)
