City Of Gods
Fivio Foreign (Ft. Kanye West & Alicia Keys)
RGM RATING (????????)
This song is going to be a helluva trivia question one day (I can see Aaron Rodgers asking folks “Alicia Keys once made a song with this drill rapper in 2022” on Jeopardy).
I have a feeling that Kanye West is going to bring out the best in Fivio Foreign. I mean, the verse I heard from Fivio on “Off The Grid” is fantastic. Today, Kanye decided to exchange the favor by hopping on Fivio’s new “City Of Gods” single with Alicia Keys (Yes, you read that right, Alicia Keys is on this song).
“City Of Gods” sounds like an extension of “Off The Grid.” The song is powered by this out-of-this-worldly drill beat that definitely gives me Captain America vibes. Over the beat, Fivio Foreign hits us with an aggressive verse that has him sounding like he’s ready to go to war with his enemies, Alicia Keys hits us with an invigorating hook that has her paying homage to New York, and Kanye hits us with a verse in which he sticks his chest out, threatens to bring goons to SNL, and says everything with him and drizzy is swell. Personally, I think the song is a little too unneccarily heroic, but at the end of the day, it’s still fantastic.
