City Girls

The City Girls' best work is always a spiritual experience. The Miami rap duo took the crowd through their upbeat discography, from "Act Up" to "Twerkulator", and they did not disappoint. Yung Miami's friend Saucy Santa performed "Walk", a hit that the crowd instantly recognized. They exuded a strong sense of confidence and exuberant energy. City Girls' music was infectious. People were singing at the tops of their lungs, twerking as hard and shouting out their lyrics -- everything was just as it should be.
