For one, it is her second time hitting the road this year alone. This is coming just months after her solo debut set of dates which saw her perform at club venues only. Secondly, JT is dropping her first-ever project as a lead artist. There was a little bit of speculation as to whether or not this would be an EP with about 10 cuts. Those are out the window, as this is a mixtape, and it will include 16 tracks. City Cinderella will hit streaming on July 19 and will feature singles such as “OKAY”, its remix with Jeezy, “No Bars”, and “Sideways”.

What are your thoughts on JT heading out on tour for her solo debut mixtape, City Cinderella? Do you think this is a smart move for the City Girls MC to embark on this journey? What cities should have been added/what should she add? Do you think this project could be the end of her affiliation with Yung Miami? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding JT. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the world of music.

With “Dade County Dreaming,” Camila Cabello seemingly treated fans to the last time we’ll hear the City Girls on a track (for now). While, the culture shaping duo is officially done, former member JT is just getting starting.

In March, the “Okay” rapper hinted at her debut solo project, City Cinderella. Yesterday (July 2), JT officially unveiled the forthcoming body of work’s cover art and release date.

“City Cinderella coming….7/19 ,” she wrote. “My hands shaking posting this. Juvies we here…...”

Users online were frozen with shock over the creative direction of the cover. Many quickly praised JT for taking an artistic risk.

“This one of the best covers I’ve seen from a rap girl this year ngl,” wrote one user.

Others pointed about the direct references subtly hidden in the photograph—specifically the incorporation of high fashion house, Margiela’s highly sought after Spring 2009 Cinderella Glass Heels.

“JT aligning her fashion interests with her solo music pursuits/positioning is so intentional,” penned another.

It’s clear brand alignment and communication of who exactly she wants to be as an artist going forward. From this cover, to the Mowalola directed “Okay” visuals and Beats partnership https://t.co/ucZUZqOVID

Although the official tracklist hasn’t been rolled out, JT has dropped several tracks including “Okay,” “Sideways,” and “No Bars,” all of which fans hope will make the final cut.

JT Unveils The Cover & Release Date For Her Solo Debut “City Cinderella”

July 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

JT has taken some serious steps away from her time with Yung Miami and the City Girls over the last year or so. Now, the Miami, Florida native is taking a massive leap after making a huge announcement just moments ago. With the unapologetic femcee dropping singles under just her name it was only a matter of time before she decided to see what she could do solo. So far, her decision has been paying off and quite tremendously we might add. Because of this, JT is comfortable (sort of) revealing key details about her upcoming debut EP called City Cinderella.

She shared the bombshell on her social media while captioning the post, “City Cinderella coming….7/19 Pre-save link in bio. My hands shaking posting this. Juvies we here…..”. Multiple fellow female artists were quick to show her support and love for this career move. Kali Uchis is excited for what is in store, saying, “She’s coming !!!!!”. R&B act Snoh Aalegra was also hyping JT up, “ sheeeesh ”.

JT Is Looking To Make Some Noise With Her First Solo EP

According to Genius, it appears that “OKAY”, its two versions, including the Jeezy remix, “No Bars”, and “Sideways” will all land on the possible 10-song tracklist. As for the release date of City Cinderella, JT is dropping her EP on July 19 and it will compete with some pretty heavy hitters like Childish Gambino and Denzel Curry. The cover art is also now available to us, as it shows the “Alter Ego” artist looking stunning, with the lower half of her body being made of glass and some it shattered off. She also is donning a tiara, which is fitting for the title of the project. Congratulations to JT on the announcement and we cannot wait to check it out.

What are your thoughts on JT announcing her debut EP City Cinderella? Do you think she should have gone solo even sooner than this, why or why not? Do you think she will become more successful after branching out to work on her own material? What single have you been bumping the most so far? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding JT.

JT and Jeezy Drop Fiery “OKAY” Remix

June 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

With summer officially here, JT (Quality Control Music/Motown) looks to topple the competition again, teaming up with Jeezy for the official remix of her hit single “OKAY.” Teasing fans with billboards across Atlanta featuring a Cinderella heel and a snowman, JT and Jeezy’s collaboration makes them an unbeatable duo.

In a candid verse following his divorce, Jeezy raps about being “single as a dollar bill” while maintaining his status as one of hip-hop’s most influential figures. Directed by Gerald Victor, the music video matches the song’s intensity, with JT and Jeezy dressed in all black, flexing their dominance as they rap back and forth.

JT has enjoyed an incredible run in 2024 with “OKAY,” which has netted over 40 million U.S. streams. Building on her success with City Girls, JT has emerged as a solo superstar, impressing with her swagger and unshakable confidence. Billboard has named her one of the hottest female rappers of the moment. This year, she not only dominated the Hot 100 but also set the club circuit on fire with her celebrated “JT’s Coming Tour.” With hits like “Sideways” and “No Bars,” JT is gearing up to drop her highly anticipated project, City Cinderella.

Next week, JT will take her talents to the ESSENCE Festival, performing on the Coca-Cola Stage on July 5 and participating in the ESSENCE Gu’s BeautyCon Panel the following day. She was also highlighted in Ebony’s Black Music Month Freedom List.

JT Grabs The Trap Rap OG Jeezy For Remix Of “OKAY”

June 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

JT is doing one heck of a job this year. Whether it be her solo work or team-ups, the Miami, Florida rapper has not missed a beat at any point. After making some noise last summer with “No Bars”, the run she has been on since then is quite remarkable. She nabbed a massive song on Kali Uchis’ latest record ORQUIDEAS with “Munekita”. Her and TDE signee Doechii were all gas and no brakes on “Alter Ego”. Then, you have her laid-back and confident “Sideways” to pair with the high-octane “OKAY”. The latter is now getting a new version and it is arguably better than the original. For the remix of “OKAY”, JT is teaming up with Jeezy and this was honestly the perfect selection.

It seems that JT was somewhat inspired by the 2000s and the bling era, a period in which the feature thrived in. The triumphant, horn-filled instrumental for “OKAY” is something that Jeezy would have certainly rapped over and its why this marriage works so well. The Atlanta legend kicks the remix off, delivering some hilarious one-liners. At one point, he even makes a reference to the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef, claiming that even though it is all the craze right now, he has still managed to stay relevant through it. As for the rest of the structure, it remains the same. This alternate version of “OKAY” could certainly be a bonus track for JT’s upcoming solo album, City Cinderella. We still do not have information in regard to the album cover or release date, but it should be coming in 2024. For now, give the remix a try below.

City Girls Fans Question Why JT & Yung Miami Are Listed As Separate Artists In Camila Cabello Tracklist

June 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The future of the City Girls as a duo has been in question since last year. The pair reunited after a 3 year gap in new studio albums with RAW. The project sported features from Usher, Lil Durk, Juicy J, Muni Long, and Kim Petras, but that didn’t help it sell copies. The album under-performed commercially leading many to question whether the pair were better off focusing on solo work. Some of that debate sparked from “No Bars” a solo single JT dropped last year which many thought was the best song on their new album. She’s continued dropping new solo singles this year with her songs “Sideways” and “OKAY. “ She also popped up for a memorable guest verse on the Doechii single “Alter Ego.”

Earlier this week, fans got more evidence that the pair may be planning to work more as solo artists going forward. The new album from pop singer Camila Cabello s due out later this month, her first since 2022’s Familia. She’s already dropped singles from the album that features appearances from Playboi Carti and Lil Nas X and now revealed the entire tracklist. That includes the song “Dade County Dreaming” which features both of the City Girls on it. But instead of being listed as “City Girls” they’re credited as JT and Yung Miami. The move sparked debate among fans online about the future of the pair’s rap project. Check out a post commenting on the debate spawning from Camila’s announcement below.

In the comments, fans debate the possible reasons for the pair being listed as separate artists. “Why are yall surprised? They’ve been pushing their individual identities for YEARS!!!! Rebranding themselves, Dropping hint after hint ” one commenter suggests. “They are probably contractually tied to City Girls but are free to work as “independent artists” So if they perform under City Girls Quality Control gets paid but if they perform individually they get paid independent” another fan theorizes.

What do you think of JT and Yung Miami being listed as separate artists in the tracklist of Camila Cabello’s new album? Do you think they will release any more material as a duo going forward? Let us know in the comment section below.
