City Girls On One Thing Their Fans Don’t Know About Their Artistry…
JT: It’s stressful…It's stressful as hell, being an artist. You want to pick their brains. You want to pick the fans brains so bad and give them the perfect song. But in the world, it's so many different personalities, so you might please a group of people; then the next will be like, "This is not what we wanted. It's not..." It's stressful.
Yung Miami: I felt like that's when it start not being fun no more. It start feeling like homework. I feel like when we just making music, not thinking about, if the song we hit or if the people going to like it, and we just in the studio making music together. I think that'd be our best body of work. That's when it's fun, but when we start picking brains and stuff, that's when it starts feeling like work.

JT: No, I was going to say, well, for me, I just keep it on a thin line of you don't know me like that, but I want you to know me enough to like me. I feel like because it's a big part of artistry for your fans to know you, or know you a little, to kind of buy into you these days with social media and everything else so it's hard to be mysterious and still be a personality for your fans?
