CyrusWere the Metro City section of the newspaper but on wax, explains" Jy" member Metro City. Emerging from the city of Boston, this harmoniously gritty four-piece group is not your standard R&B group. Metro City has a fresh, soulful approach in presenting their message. A lot of things that people rap about, we sing about, says "Jy". We sing about realities and circumstances of everyday life that we know and have lived through.
They grew up in the communities of Dorchester and Roxbury in Boston, Massachusetts. Working on their individual musical style in their respective communities, they performed wherever they could from local clubs to church to the YMCA. The experiences of our surroundings made us who we are said "Cyrus", who spent his early youth growing up in Liberia Africa. There aren't too many things to get into in the hood, most success stories in the hood are about guys who played ball to make it out, well music is our outlet. While the group knew of each other individually, it wasnt until one night at the acclaimed Apollo Theater Amateur Night in New York where 2key, Jy and Rey caught Cyrus singing. Cyrus won the amateur contest winning $100 in the process and the opportunity to perform again. Returning to Boston, the three members asked Cyrus to join their group and help create the unique R&B music blend of hip-hop and soul that is known as Metro City.Singer/Songwriters as well as performers, their song-writing influences are a mix of Artist ranging from New Edition, Biggie Smalls, Michael Jackson, Jodeci, R. Kelly, Boys II Men and G-Unit among others. It was their incredible voices partnered with their glaring potential, that brought them to the attention of 55 Entertainment. 55 Entertainment, the multifaceted music and Entertainment Company based in Los Angeles, is figure-headed by NFL star and 3 time Super Bowl Champ Willie McGinest of the New England Patriots.
