R. City, también conocido como Rock City, es un dúo musical compuesto por los hermanos Theron y Timothy Thomas. Nacidos y criados en St. Thomas, en las Islas Vírgenes de los Estados Unidos, estos talentosos hermanos crecieron inmersos en una rica cultura musical que abarcaba desde el reggae y el calypso hasta el hip-hop y el R&B.
La pasión por la música en los Thomas fue evidente desde una edad temprana. Sus padres, músicos de la iglesia, les enseñaron a apreciar la diversidad y a encontrar inspiración en una amplia gama de géneros. Este trasfondo cultural diverso fue fundamental para desarrollar su estilo musical único.
En 2000, los hermanos decidieron mudarse a Miami con el objetivo de hacer una carrera en la industria musical. A través de arduo trabajo, poco a poco empezaron a ganar reconocimiento como compositores. Trabajaron para artistas de renombre como Akon, Usher, y Chris Brown, lo que les permitió establecerse en la escena musical.
La dupla comenzó a hacerse un nombre dentro de la industria gracias a su capacidad para escribir canciones con letras potentes y melodías pegajosas. Su gran talento como compositores les permitió salir de las sombras y brillar por cuenta propia.
En 2015, R. City lanzó su álbum debut titulado What Dreams Are Made Of. El primer sencillo, "Locked Away", que contó con la colaboración de Adam Levine de Maroon 5, se convirtió rápidamente en un éxito global. La canción

Think rich either that or we die poor
Think rich either that or we die poor
Think rich either that or we die poor
Right about now
The first bed I slept on came out the garbage can
But I knew when I got older I would be the man
Ain't no one ever made it back from where I'm from
But I knew if I kept grindin' oh my time would come
When my daughter was born I really thought it was over
Had to get a nine to five but that's when I was the brokest
If I was gon' change my life you know that I had to focus
Started doing talent shows hoping that somebody noticed
Finally finally finally I get to put the past behind me-hind me
Now everyday meh hustle and grind remind me
No have to struggle anymore
Ain't this what we do it for
So many tears we've cried
So much pain inside
But hear me it ain't over 'till it's over
So many years we've tried
And me no tell no lie
But hear me it ain't over 'till it's over
Unno hear me
Think rich either that or we die poor
Think rich either that or we die poor
Right about now
See in the hood its playing ball hustle crack or you die
Born to lose so I had to hustle from day to night
Knew it would happen when I started rapping at the age of five
They told me I wouldn't make it never said that I couldn't try
Grew up with killers my homies were dope dealers
But I don't judge em at all 'cause God knows that we all sinners
Somehow I turned out different now we only getting bigger
And now everybody in the Caribbean's ridin' with us
So finally finally finally I get to put the past behind me-hind me
Now everyday meh hustle and grind remind me
No have fi struggle anymore
Ain't this what we do it for
So many tears we've cried
So much pain inside
But hear me it ain't over 'till it's over
So many years we've tried
And me no tell no lie
But hear me it ain't over 'till it's over
Unno hear me
It ain't over it ain't over until it's over
It ain't over it ain't over until it's over
It ain't over it ain't over until it's over
Oh-ooh-whoa-oh
Oh-ooh-whoa-oh
So many tears we've cried
So much pain inside
But hear me it ain't over 'till it's over
So many years we've tried
And me no tell no lie
'Cause baby it ain't over 'till it's over
Unno hear me
