Drake’s hit song “In My Feelings” got world wide fame, and helped introduce the Miami rap group City Girls, to a bigger audience. One thing that we didn’t know is that the duo originally had full verses on the song. What we instead heard was a few chopped up lines from those verses, yet they were still a hit with listeners everywhere. Personally, I was not that aware of the City Girls music, so I assumed they were clips from their own songs that he borrowed for the track like he did with the late Magnolia Shorty.
JT told The Carlos Watson Show more about that experience.
When Drake called, it was a big secret we had to hold in for like a month. I remember when he did his feature with Lil Baby and I was like, ‘Damn, we made it. Drake never finna call our ass.’ We didn’t ever know if the song was to make the album or not, we just knew he wanted us to be on the song. We both did verses. They called us back and let us know it was going to be on the album. But, it wasn’t a whole verse. Drake chopped our ass off. He was probably like, ‘Ya’ll hoes not ready for full verses yet but I’m going to give you a shot. We thankful for that and that’s when we realized [we made it]
