Detroit rapper Icewear Vezzo reminisces on romance in his hometown with “Love In The City,” a mellow track featuring atmospheric production and vulnerable lyrics.
Detroit’s own Icewear Vezzo gets vulnerable on “Love In The City,” a mellow reflection on finding romance in his hometown. Over hazy, atmospheric production featuring muted drums, airy synths, and delicate keys, Vezzo dives into memories of past relationships against the backdrop of the city he repps. His lyrics touch on meet-cutes, falling for a woman from his side of town, and the trials of young love. Vezzo raps with a sense of wistfulness as he looks back on connections made on familiar streets under “moonlight in the D.”
While his flow remains nimble, his tone is softened as he shares intimate details and croons gently on the hook. “Love In The City” finds the street-savvy rapper in a moment of tender rumination, revealing a more sensitive side fans rarely see.

Ain’t no love in the city (Love in the city)
Ain’t no love in the city (In the city, ayy)
Ain’t no love in the city
