Career Yung Miami was born and raised in Miami, Florida, growing up in Opa-locka. At 22, she was performing in strip clubs, night clubs and block parties. Yung Miami said that she loved trap music from a young age, and told Rolling Stone, "My little boyfriend used to take me to school every day, so I grew up listening to a lot of trap music." Before rapping, Yung Miami was an Instagram influencer who promoted her own fashion line selling clothes and other items. She met JT, where they formed the duo City Girls. The duo recorded their debut studio track, "Fuck Dat Nigga", which was a diss track towards their ex-boyfriends for not giving them money when they asked. In a September 2024 podcast interview, Yung Miami states that she considers herself an entertainer, leveraging "rap" as a segue into the entertainment industry.

In July 2018, the duo were launched into mainstream recognition after an uncredited feature on Drake's "In My Feelings."

On June 19, 2020, City Girls's second studio album, City on Lock, leaked in its entirety online. JT announced hours later that the album would be released at midnight of the same day. The album's first single, "Jobs", was released hours before the album alongside a music video. City Girls released their last album, RAW (Real Ass Whores) in 2023, and separated soon after.
