City Girls: The signature JT and Yung Miami bars are back with 'Face Down'

With the explosion of artists like Sexxy Red and Sukihana, it’s only right City Girls keep their brand blazing with those signature sounds and vibes especially on their new ‘Face Down’ anthem. Yung Miami and JT link up for another hard-hitting tune slated for non-stop weekend goals.

City Girls deliver with their new ‘Face Down’ anthem

It’s more than just a fire tune. JT and Miami unleash their mind-blowing audio gem to the masses and keep the attention on them with a certified summer single.

Today City Girls release “Face Down” via Quality Control Music / Motown.

This marks their third brash, straight-talking single this summer, as the Miami rappers’ third studio album is close to arriving. In June City Girls’ JT and Yung Miami gave the world the ‘rich, young and pretty bitch anthem’ “I Need A Thug”, followed by the clever word-play of the “Pinata” single. In addition JT’s “No Bars” came last month, as well as being prominently featured on Diddy’s “Act Bad (featuring City Girls and Fabolous).”

Wasting no time swaggering into summer, they have also played festivals such as Rolling Lou’s California and Miami, as well as Sumer Jam Houston. City Girls’ last album came back in June 2020, which was “City On Lock.” At the time, that project went on to debut at number 29 on the Billboard 200 chart. It was led by hit singles such as “Jobs” and “P**** Talk” featuring Doja Cat.

The trailblazing duo left their mark on 2022 with "Top Notch" featuring Fivio Foreign and "Good Love" — an up-tempo linkup with R&B legend Usher. The latter was the latest in a long line of outrageous hits stretching back to 2017's “Fuck Dat N***a.” Since then, they have landed platinum records with bangers like "Act Up" and the Cardi B-assisted "Twerk."

Having recently been named one of the 50 greatest rap groups of all time by Billboard, Yung Miami and JT are primed to make your summer bad – real bad. Times two. 

With more than 15 billion cumulative streams to their credit and co-signs from hip-hop heavyweights ranging from Missy Elliott, who directed the video for 2021's "Twerkulator," to Lil Wayne (a featured artist on 2020's "Pussy Talk"), City Girls are a legitimate phenomenon, who continue to rewrite the rulebook with every new release.

City Girls Tell Apple Music About What It Was Like To Flip The LL Cool J Original…

JT: I think it was both of our idea because we heard the beat, and then the sample was already in there and it just sounds fun. It sounded like a fun sample. We be holding onto to the hot records and then we put them out the fun seasons, summer, spring.

City Girls Speak On When Fans Can Expect A New Album…

Yung Miami: I know I always say spring, summer, but it is coming next month. I can tell y'all that it's coming in July.

City Girls Speak On Whether Fans Can Expect New Music Before The Album Releases…

JT: The world is about to get a few more [songs] before the project drops.

Yung Miami On What Her Experience Has Been In the Music Industry…

It's very exciting. I'm not going to lie. It's exciting. Something new, something fresh. I enjoy being an artist. I take the good with the bad. I just enjoy it. I got love, being an artist. It taught me a lot about the industry, and I can say that it's very exciting and I'm having fun.

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.

City Girls Talk What Their Fan Experience Has Been Like, Touching on Accessibility, And Experiencing Things For The First Time…

Yung Miami: I feel like it gets tricky, because I feel like... Go ahead, JT.

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?
