The brothers decided after high school that they were going to try to make it in the music business. A move to America was necessary so they came to the States via Atlanta before settling in Miami. There they began writing for Akon, who quickly signed the brothers to his Kon Live label. After their song "The Rain" landed on Akon's hit album Konvicted, songwriting for others kept them away from their own music. It took until 2008 before R. City released the infectious "Losing It" single along with the mixtape Put the F*cking Album Out.

Their eclectic debut Wake The Neighbors is anything but a work in progress. Wake The Neighbors is the upcoming first studio album by the hip hop and R&B duo . It is scheduled to be released sometime in 2009, in the United States under the Konvict Muzik label.
