Rock City is the one of the most talented duos that I’ve ever come across! ?Thomas & Theron Thomas, two Virgin Islands natives based out of Atlanta, are currently signed to Akon’s Interscope Records/Konvict Music and are definitely a pair to watch. I’ve attended listening parties, concerts and events with the?musical duo who’ve written smash hits for The Pussycat Dolls, Busta Rhymes, Akon and more. ?It has been long rumored that they are putting the finishing touches on their debut album but we’re all still anxiously awaiting the drop. In the meantime, the two have produced a mixtape, appropriately entitled, “Put the F*cking Album Out!”
