Girl Code
Much in the way of their superstar labelmates Migos, Miami-native duo City Girls have been forced to start a man down. Just as Migos were absent Offset upon release of the Drake-assisted “Versace” remix, *Girl Code*—which follows their life-changing inclusion on Drake’s “In My Feelings”—comes as City Girls\' JT serves out a jail sentence related to fraudulent credit card charges, leaving Yung Miami to hold down the fort. The album is still a team effort (*Girl Code* was completed before JT’s sentence began) and a seamless continuation of the themes of its predecessor, *Period*. The duo continues to hit licks, dodge broke suitors, and enjoy sex unapologetically. Boasting sharp bars and even sharper wit, City Girls clearly realize the urgency of their moment.
The Miami duo’s new album builds on the strengths of their recent mixtape with speaker-rattling songs about pleasure, power, and strong women unapologetically getting their own way.
