City Life (Boogie Boys album)


City Life is the first album by American rap group Boogie Boys, released in 1985 on Capitol Records. The album peaked at No. 53 on the Billboard 200. The album had a major hit in America with the single "A Fly Girl."

"A Fly Girl"

As one of the first rap groups to sign with a major label, the Boogie Boys were under pressure to create a fresh, new sound. Capitol wanted to release "City Life" as their first single as they felt it would have broader appeal, especially since the song combined rapping and singing. But the Boogie Boys felt "A Fly Girl" would have more impact.
