’ hustle is strong. The hip-hop duo — composed of JT and Yung Miami — have been friends since middle school and were forced to grow up fast due to their circumstances. But even back then, they realized the future is female.
But just as the group’s rap career was poised to scale heights usually only seen by male hip-hop stars, JT’s street-savvy ways caught up with her, and she was arrested for aggravated identify theft. With a 24-month prison sentence looming, she surrendered in July 2018, and Yung Miami was tasked with shouldering the duo’s budding buzz — which included an uncredited feature on Drake’s multiplatinum hit “In My Feelings.
For 15 months, Yung Miami kept the City Girls name alive — pushing the triple-platinum “Girl Code” single “Act Up,” collaborating with Saweetie for “Come On” and hopping on Moneybagg Yo’s “4 Da Moment,” to name a few of her appearances. “I did all types of features, making sure the music was getting played and we was everywhere,” Miami says. “I had to put my big-girl pants on and just do what was best for the group.
JT’s release and the social media moment it created helped the duo gain popularity, and City Girls immediately got to work on sophomore album “City on Lock,” which dropped in June 2020 after leaking online. But it was another previously unreleased track, “Twerkulator,” that sent their career into overdrive. Credit a massive TikTok wave and the coronavirus lockdown for the virality of “Twerkulator,” which was officially released as a single in May 2021.
