City Boys Review

City boys is a song off Burna Boy’s latest project “I Told Them…” which is his seventh studio album. The acclaimed Nigerian Afrobeat artist sampled Jeremih’s track “Birthday sex” for the beat of this particular song. Distinguished by vibrant instrumentals and Burna’s distinctive vocals, the artist describes the lifestyle of individuals in the city living the urban life which is lavish and always seems to attract women from all backgrounds. Lyrically, the song presents themes of determination and success depicting a carefree attitude towards relationships and a focus on indulgence and pleasure instead which is a way of life for city boys after making it. Burna boy often incorporates his unique style of storytelling with a blend of traditional African sounds such as Pidgin lyrics with contemporary elements of new production styles making his music appealing to a wide audience.
