City Girls is an American hip-hop duo that emerged from Miami, Florida, consisting of members Yung Miami and JT. They gained prominence for their bold, confident lyrics and vibrant musical style, which has made them significant figures in contemporary hip-hop. The duo is notably recognized for their debut studio album, "Girl Code," released in 2018, which debuted at number 63 on the Billboard 200, marking a significant entry into the mainstream music scene.

Yung Miami, born Caresha Romeka Brownlee, and JT, born Jatavia Shakara Johnson, started their careers in 2017, when they signed with Quality Control Music, an imprint of Motown and Capitol Records. Their first project, a mixtape titled "Period," was released in 2018 and set the stage for their rising fame. Shortly after, they gained widespread attention through their collaboration with Drake on the hit single "In My Feelings," which topped the Billboard Hot 100. This exposure helped propel their career forward, leading to a substantial fanbase.

The duo's breakout album, "Girl Code," featured hit singles such as "Twerk," featuring Cardi B, and "Act Up," both of which achieved significant commercial success. "Act Up" and "Twerk" both peaked within the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 and received platinum certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), establishing City Girls as a formidable presence in the hip-hop genre. Their music is characterized by themes of empowerment, confidence, and unapologetic femininity, which resonated with a diverse audience.

In 2020, City Girls released their second album, "City on Lock," which received positive reviews and continued their success. The album included notable tracks that further showcased their evolution as artists. However, their third album, "RAW," released in 2023, did not perform as well commercially or critically as their previous efforts. Despite this, the duo remains influential in the music industry and continues to push boundaries with their sound and image.

In the wake of the release of "RAW," City Girls announced a hiatus to focus on their solo careers, indicating their desire to explore individual artistic directions while maintaining their brand as a duo. This decision reflects their commitment to personal growth and the dynamic nature of the music industry. As they embark on their solo journeys, both Yung Miami and JT continue to be celebrated for their contributions to hip-hop and their role in shaping the genre's landscape.
