"Cloud City" is a hard-hitting track from veteran rapper/songwriter ABSYTE who brings the grittiness of 90s rap with a modern and unique twist. Over the cinematic and dark backdrop comprising slick piano riffs, and crunchy drum breaks, ABSYTE speaks candidly about the difference between true friends and fairweather ones. Not the type to hold back, she directly points out the flaws of fake friends who pretend to be there with lines like "Actions speak louder than words, believe that/ Some say they got my back but I really can't see that." Not one to dwell on the negative aspects, she also has kind words for her closest allies and gives them much-needed recognition with bars like "My homie got back for real, that's my mans/And if you understand then you understand the plan/And when I lay him down, sound like forever man/I come here, yeah taller than a mountain man." Also onboard is the fellow rapper Reg Wyns who supports the notion with all intents and purposes.
