City Girls in Concert
City Girls bring the dynamic energy of Miami to whatever city they're in. Their live show is a body-shaking flurry of hip-hop beats and inspired trash-talk; a modern twist on everything from Miami bass to New Orleans bounce that nods toward their foremothers Salt-N-Pepa. The Miami duo combine the enthusiasm (and backup dancers) of the '80s and '90s with the boss attitudes of the YouTube era while performing chant-along hits like "Act Up," "Twerk" and "Where the Bag At."
City Girls Background
Caresha "Yung Miami" Brownlee and Jatavia "JT" Johnson have been best friends since middle school, where they absorbed the music of local heroes like Trick Daddy, Jacki-O and Trina as well as Nicki Minaj and Atlanta trap. The pair recorded the scabrous "Fuck Dat Nigga" as a joke inside the home studio of Johnson's father and uploaded it to SoundCloud — but the joke quickly ended up grabbing the attention of Quality Control Music. Soon they became the first women signed to the label of Migos, Lil Baby and Lil Yachty. Only months after releasing their debut album, Period, in 2018, City Girls were featured on the No. 1 song in the country — that's them on Drake's "In My Feelings" answering his calls "Resha, do you love me?" and "JT, do you love me?" Their follow-up, Girl Code, was released in November of that same year and they continued to build momentum with guest appearances from Lil Baby, Jacquees and Cardi B. The lead single "Twerk" and the Yachty co-written "Act Up" both cracked the Top 40.
