Muah, the wait for more JT is almost over. Since what appears to be the City Girls‘ indefinite hiatus, fans have eagerly waited as both ladies spread their solo wings. For JT, so far, it has included two solo songs, “No Bars” and “Sideways.”

But thanks to her first solo headlining tour, JT’s next move has been revealed. During the tour’s opening night, the rapper took to the stage to perform her next track. While the crowd rocked out to JT’s set, her wardrobe is what grabbed attendees’ attention. JT and crew’s custom graphic tees served as the formal announcement of her forthcoming debut solo mixtape.

Instead of changing her stage name, as previously contemplated, JT will simply adopt a new persona, as the title, City Cinderella, suggests. The upcoming body of work doesn’t have an official released. So, for now, the “City Cinderella coming soon” message on the tees is all the public knows.

Well, that’s all supporters needed to get hyped. “[JT’s] mixtape gonna change the game, mark my words,” wrote one user online. JT chimed it to echo the post. “I swear to God,” she wrote.

Others went on to ask where they could snag a tee to aid in the marketing of the project, to which JT replied, “My show.”

JT’s growing fanbase, the Juvies, is ready to ride out for their fav.

The release comes as JT continues to prepare for the release of her debut EP as a solo artist. Speaking with Kali Uchis for Interview Magazine, last year, she explained that the project will likely drop early in 2024. “I really want my first EP to have that raw, grungy sound,” the City Girls rapper said. “I wanted to do that for my birthday [Dec. 3], but I think it’s too soon because I’m so picky. So probably the top of next year. I’m going to figure it out when I have the time and I have the sounds that I want. But I’m a hard thinker. I want everything to be perfect, and this time I’m going to be presented by myself, so I really want it to look like everything.” Check out her post celebrating “Sideways” below.

JT Isn’t Here For Haters Coming At Her ‘Sideways’ On Her New Solo Single

by

JT of City Girls is continuing a run of solo bangers. Tonight (February 2), she shared her new single, “Sideways.”

The track features JT establishing herself as a solo act, while still repping the Miami rap duo. Like on her previously released track, “No Bars,” JT maintains her energy, while riding the beat with energy.

“B*tch, I ain’t friendly, I don’t f*ck with y’all b*tches / Tryna take who? It ain’t enough of y’all b*tches / Hoes so phony got me lookin’ at ’em sideways / It’ll never be the same, motherf*cker, old days,” she raps on the song’s chorus.

Over the years, JT has been known to add a punch to City Girls tracks. Her chemistry with her bandmate Caresha “Yung Miami” Brownlee is undeniable. But with “Sideways,” as well as upcoming solo songs, JT aims to make herself a rapper of her own accord. Perhaps a solo album or mixtape may soon be on the way, as she lays the groundwork for longevity.

“‘Sideways’ is a song not a verse,” said JT in a statement, “and in 2024 I want to go from ‘JT has good verses!’ to ‘JT make good songs!’”

You can see the video for “Sideways” above.
