Yung Miami has officially entered a new era with the release of her debut solo album, “Watch Dis!,” a 20-track project that seeks to silence critics while addressing the fractured relationship with her former City Girls partner, JT. The album features a track titled, “Dear JT,” which seemingly serves as an open letter to her longtime collaborator, marking the first time the Florida rapper has fully detailed the emotional toll of their public fallout.

The song finds Yung Miami, born Caresha Brownlee, reflecting on the shared history that propelled the duo to the top of the hip-hop charts before their bond dissolved under public scrutiny. On the track, she admits that falling out with her “sister” in the public eye was embarrassing and confesses that she often turned a blind eye when JT was wrong to protect their friendship.

She raps about the sadness of growing apart, noting that the pair could have continued to make history together. In a recent interview following the album’s launch, Yung Miami revealed that she did not share the song with JT prior to its release. The rapper confirmed that JT heard the lyrics at the same time as the general public and noted that she has not received any communication from her former groupmate since the project went live.

Despite the tension, she said she would be open to a reconciliation, stating that a potential reunion is in “God’s timing” and she would answer the phone if JT called. The road to “Watch Dis!” was a lengthy process that involved scrapping an earlier version of the album originally titled “Yams.” Yung Miami said the previous iteration felt “lazy” and uninspired, leading her to ask her label to delay the release so she could record more personal material. She admitted to feeling immense pressure to prove herself as a solo artist after facing rejection from several record labels during the early stages of her solo career.

The album also features collaborations with artists including Bryson Tiller, Summer Walker and Travis Scott. While the album is a commercial statement, Yung Miami said the inclusion of “Dear JT” was a necessary emotional release. She admitted to crying during the recording process, explaining that she wanted to address the situation on her own terms rather than letting outside narratives define her legacy.

As for future collaborations, she shared a lighthearted moment regarding Drake, mentioning that while a remix of her hit “Spend That” never materialized after he left her on read, she still maintains respect for the Toronto superstar.
