Who is c!ty matthews
A little about the journey so far
C!ty Matthews is an independent hip-hop artist whose music is rooted in real-life experiences, reflection, resilience, and growth. Originally from Milwaukee, with chapters of his life spent in Memphis, Buffalo, and Toronto, C!ty brings those different environments and experiences into music that feels personal, honest, and lived-in.
Since beginning his professional music journey in 2019, C!ty Matthews has continued building his catalog and audience independently, developing a sound centered around introspective lyrics, melodic hooks, and emotionally driven storytelling. Records such as “Letter to Dre,” “Visionz,” and “Empty Emotions” showcase an artist who isn’t afraid to speak on family, loyalty, isolation, ambition, relationships, and the realities that come with outgrowing people and environments.
Rather than chasing trends, C!ty focuses on creating music listeners can connect with beyond the moment. His writing often feels like a conversation—direct, vulnerable, and observant—while still maintaining the confidence and edge of hip-hop.
With a growing audience across streaming and video platforms, C!ty Matthews continues to release music independently while expanding his reach, strengthening his catalog, and building toward the next stage of his career.
For C!ty, the goal is simple: make honest music, build something that lasts, and allow every chapter of the journey to speak for itself.
