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

Composition

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".
