About The Record:

A Fly Girl / City Life, by Boogie Boys, are singles from their debut album City Life. 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. Boogie Boys member Joe "Romeo J.D." Malloy said "Put 'Fly Girl' first, then we can come with the other stuff." 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?" So that's how it jumped off; and the streets is gonna make happen what they want to happen. So Fly Girl is the record that popped off and they still didn't do a video for it. People were running in the stores trying to find Fly Girl for weeks and weeks, and they didn't have any copies in the stores."
