City Life is the debut studio album by American hip hop group Boogie Boys, released on February 18, 1985 by Capitol Records.

[3] The album had a major hit in America with the single "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.

So we compromised: we put out "City Life" as the A-side and "Fly Girl" as the B-side; so when it came out, DJs were like, "yeah, 'City Life' is hot," but then when they flipped it over and heard those drums it was like, "oh s--t… what's this?"
