In the City was inspired by a song that Dr. Yawza! sang to his youngest daughter during a trip to New Orleans for the Essence Music Festival. It was early morning, and she had just woken up and was looking for her momma. From the view in the hotel room, they could look out and see and hear the hustle and bustle of the city. Surprisingly, his daughter loved the song. Thus, In the City was born.
