Acclaimed Duo R. City Drop Explosive New Single "WAPA"

From their work amongst the likes of Drake, Rihanna, Usher, Miley Cyrus, Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber, and Ariana Grande, to their Billboard Hot 100-charting hit “Locked Away” featuring Adam Levine, R. City has a colossal reputation.

Their new single “WAPA” take from their upcoming mixtape “This Is Not A Drill…This Is Really Happening!” is an ode to their Caribbean roots, and fans with riveting components of UK Drill for a cultural mashup you never knew you needed. 

“WAPA” will drive you wild with an adrenaline high of 808’s, quick banter snaps like a rubber-band, and a stone cold vocal that commands the track. Written about life in the Virgin Islands, R. City honours their heritage with lyrics dedicated to that one of a kind Caribbean swagger. R. City boasts, “Every yankee in America playing this tune like what is this?” “WAPA” is a bold, undeniably charming take on drill with lyrics that transport you to the islands. 

Take a listen to “WAPA” below:


R. City is composed of brothers Timothy and Theron Thomas. They’ve contributed to Grammy-nominated albums including Rihanna’s Unapologetic, Jennifer Hudson’s self-titled album, and Ariana Grande’s My Everything. Ready to emerge with a hot new mixtape, “WAPA” is only just the start of R. City’s paramount next chapter.
