Caresha said watch, so we’re watching. Yung Miami’s long-awaited debut solo album, Watch Dis, arrived today, Friday, Oct. 23, and the City Girls star came with a guest list that reads like an awards-show seating chart.
A 21-Track Statement
Per the tracklist shared ahead of release, Watch Dis runs 21 tracks and includes the pre-release singles “F You,” “2008” and “Spend Dat.” That last one is her biggest solo hit yet, climbing to No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming her first solo Top 20 entry.
The features are deep. Travis Scott appears on “Just Might Go,” Summer Walker joins her on “Ride For You,” and Bryson Tiller and London On Da Track link up on “Old Time Sake.” Quavo and G Herbo share “TMTC,” while Pleasure P slides in on “Baby.”
Miami gets its flowers too: “Dade County” brings Rick Ross, Trina and Trick Daddy together on one track. And “Spend Dat” gets two remixes, one with Lil Baby and Kodak Black and an international version with Davido, Shenseea and Vybz Kartel.
Betting on Herself
When she announced the project earlier this month, Yung Miami made it clear this one is personal. In a post on X, she wrote, “This is me betting on ME.” She also told fans she knew people had counted her out, and that she chose to go big rather than play it safe with a single.
The rollout leaned into that energy, with London On Da Track producing “F You,” a reworking of the Yo Gotti and Meek Mill record, and J White behind “2008,” which dropped with a music video.
We’ll be curious to see how the Summer Walker collab lands with fans, considering everything the Atlanta singer has going on in her ongoing label dispute.
A Letter to JT
The most talked-about track might be the most personal one. On “Dear JT,” Yung Miami speaks directly to her City Girls partner, looking back on the broke days they survived together before the fame, and admitting that their public falling-out was embarrassing. She frames the song as a letter to a friend she still cares about, even with the friendship on pause.
Complex reports that Miami didn’t play the song for JT before it came out, and as of Friday, JT had not publicly responded. In a Pandora Playback interview cited by TheGrio, Miami said the two last spoke around JT’s birthday nearly two years ago. Asked about a reunion, she answered, “I mean, inshallah.”

Now we want to hear from you: How are you feeling about “Dear JT”? And should the City Girls get back together? Drop a comment below and let us know.
Why it matters: Yung Miami has spent years as one-half of a duo and as a podcast host with Caresha Please. A solo album with this many A-list co-signs, including Atlanta’s own Quavo, Lil Baby and Summer Walker, is a real test of her standing as a solo artist in the South’s rap economy.
