Drop City Yacht Club is 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 A-Wolf (Anthony Cozzo) and Kristo; two rappers and THX (producer). Originally called The Freshmen, they adopted their new moniker in early 2013. Known for not taking a typical approach to making a rap record, as they describe themselves as individually crazy artists all collaborating into one unique, and sane group. The group's style fuses avvy hip hop, crafty pop and 1960s rock.[citation needed] Group member A-Wolf describe these characteristics of their group as similar to those employed by the Beach Boys and the Beastie Boys.
A single, "Crickets," featuring R&B singer Jeremih was their first release. A&M/Octone executive VP and head of promotion, Ben Berkman, explained that Jeremih was picked to redo the hook of "Crickets" to give it a more rhythmic format. The song makes fun of their own rejections. The single peaked at 36 on the mainstream top 40 chart, at 36 on the hot R&B/hip-hop chart and fell just short of charting on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at 102. Their YouTube video for "Crickets" has over two million views. Their debut album was released in the fall of 2013.[1]
