'''"Drop City Yacht Club"''' is an American [[hip hop music|hip hop]] group, furnished from Platform, LLC to [[A&M/Octone Records]] through a joint venture with Exit 8 Records. The members of Drop City Yacht Club include A-Wolf (Anthony Cozzo) and Kristo, two rappers and THX (producer). They were originally called The Freshmen, but adopted their new moniker in early 2013. The group is known to not take a typical approach to the makings of a rap record, as they describe themselves to be individually crazed artists all collaborating into one unique approach. Their style includes a fuse of savvy hip hop, crafty pop and a splash of light 1960s rock.{{citation needed|date=October 2013}} Group Member A-Wolf would describe these characteristic of their craft similar to [[the Beach Boys]] and [[Beastie Boys]].

Drop City Yacht Club was an American hip hop group performing for Platform, LLC, A&M/Octone Records through a joint venture with Exit 8 Records. Drop City Yacht Club members include Kristo (rapper) and THX (producer). One of the original members, A-Wolf, left for unknown reasons. Originally called The Freshmen, they adopted their new moniker in early 2013. Known for their atypical approach to making a rap record, they describe themselves as individually crazy artists collaborating to create one sane group.

The group's style fuses hip hop, pop and 1960s rock.[1] A-Wolf described these characteristics as similar to The Beach Boys and The Beastie Boys.

A single, "Crickets," featuring R&B singer Jeremih, was their first release.
