Of Cities is the second studio album by American hip hop producer DJ Signify. It was released on Bully Records in 2009.

Reception

Dave Segal of The Stranger gave the album a favorable review, saying, "Signify gives us 16 tracks—including six brief interludes ripe for bumper usage in NPR's hipper segments—on Of Cities that bring the funk, but stoically, with urban grime and urbane grimness."^[4]

It was named the third best instrumental hip hop album of 2009 by PopMatters.^[1]
