City Girls is an American hip hop duo hailing from Miami, Florida. The group is composed of two talented artists, Yung Miami (born Caresha Romeka Brownlee in February 1994) and JT (born Jatavia Shakara Johnson in December 1992). They first gained significant recognition when they made an uncredited guest appearance on Drake's mega-hit single "In My Feelings" in 2018, capturing the attention of music enthusiasts worldwide.
After catching the eye of industry insiders, City Girls signed with Quality Control Music and subsequently released their debut mixtape, "Period," in 2018. This project introduced the duo's distinct style, blending catchy beats with powerful lyrics. Building on their initial success, they went on to release two studio albums: "Girl Code" (2018) and "City on Lock" (2020).
The impact of City Girls' music was evident with the release of their debut studio track, "Fuck Dat Nigga." This song served as a diss track directed at their ex-boyfriends, expressing their frustration over the partners' failure to support them financially. Yung Miami cleverly promoted the track through social media platforms and by incentivizing DJs to play it in clubs. As a result, "Fuck Dat Nigga" quickly gained traction and amassed hundreds of thousands of plays. The official music video for the song, featuring a cameo appearance from rapper Trina, was released in January 2018. The track's popularity was further solidified when it was included in Quality Control's compilation album, "Control the Streets, Volume 1."
City Girls' unique sound, coupled with their fierce and empowering lyrics, resonated with audiences. Notably, their album "Girl Code" produced two RIAA Platinum-certified US top 40 singles, namely "Twerk" featuring Cardi B and "Act Up." These accomplishments solidified City Girls' position as rising stars in the hip hop industry.
With their unapologetic attitude and captivating performances, City Girls continue to make waves in the music scene.
