City Girls was an American hip hop duo consisting of Yung Miami (Caresha Romeka Brownlee; born February 11, 1994)[1] and JT (Jatavia Shakara Johnson;[2][3] born December 3, 1992), both of whom originate from Miami, Florida.[4] The duo signed with Quality Control Music, an imprint of Motown and Capitol Records to release their debut mixtape, Period (2018). Two months later, they garnered mainstream attention following their guest performances on Drake's 2018 single, "In My Feelings", which peaked atop the Billboard Hot 100.[3]
Their debut studio album, Girl Code (2018) saw positive critical reception and was supported by the singles "Twerk" (featuring Cardi B) and "Act Up"—both peaked within the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 and received platinum certifications by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Their second album, City on Lock (2020) was met with continued praise and moderate commercial response, while their third album, RAW (2023) trailed critically and commercially. Shortly after its release, the duo announced an indefinite hiatus to focus on their solo careers.
