Background

edit

The cover art and the title of the album were inspired by Tee Grizzley's childhood neighborhood in Detroit.[6]

Composition

edit

According to Shawn Grant of The Source, the lyrical content of Tee's Coney Island focuses “on classic street narratives and the kind of gritty poetry that first put him in the spotlight with his quadruple-platinum hit, "First Day Out"”.[7] Musically, most of the album displays Grizzley's "Detroit style", along with some tracks featuring "additional versatility and sounds",[7] including Afrobeats influences on "City of God",[7] and R&B on "IDGAF".[8]
