R. City is an American hip-hop recording and production duo, formed in 2003 by the brothers Theron "Da Spokesman" Thomas and Timothy "Don't Talk Much" Thomas. Primarily known as a songwriting and record production team, the duo amassed numerous credits for prominent music industry acts prior to signing with Kemosabe Records, an imprint of RCA Records in 2014 as recording artists. The following year, their single "Locked Away", peaked at number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and preceded the release of their debut album, What Dreams Are Made Of.
Earlier, the duo signed in 2007 with Akon's Konvict Muzik and KonLive Distribution, imprints of Geffen Records and Interscope Records, having received their first commercial songwriting credit for Akon. They released the mixtape series PTFAO. Their 2008 debut single, "Losin' It", failed to chart. The duo parted ways with KonLive in 2011 and continued their songwriting work. Since signing to Kemosabe, they often collaborate with label boss Dr. Luke.
While releasing solo material, R. City also wrote and produced for other artists including Sean Kingston, Miley Cyrus, Nicki Minaj and Rihanna.
