R. City

Rock City (also known as R. City and Planet VI) is a songwriting, record production, and rap duo from Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands consisting of brothers Theron and Timothy Thomas. The brothers use the stage names, A.I. and UpTown AP, respectively. The two are best known as songwriters and producers for artists like Rihanna, Beyonce, Miley Cyrus, Jennifer Hudson, Chris Brown, Mary J. Blige, Luke James, and Akon among many others. The duo has also contributed to numerous Grammy-nominated albums including Rihanna's Unapologetic (which won Best Urban Contemporary Album), Jennifer Hudson's self-titled album (which won Best R&B Album), and Ariana Grande's My Everything (which was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album).

Rock City also releases original music, and they have released several mixtapes since 2008. The group had previously been signed to Geffen Records and KonLive,[13] where they released a series of mixtapes with the primary title, PTFAO (Put the F*ckin' Album Out)-a reference to the fact that their debut album, Wake the Neighbors, had not been given a release date. In 2011, the duo was released from their contract with KonLive and founded Rebelution Records on which they intended to release their debut album. A new project, #WhatDreamsAreMadeOf is due to be released in 2015 after being signed to Kemosabe Records/RCA Records by Dr. Luke.
