‘Caresha Please’ Talks Podcast Show, City Girls, Diddy and More
At 28, Yung Miami, which she describes as her more “savage alter ego,” has laid down many wigs (two in the span of our time together–one pin straight that wisped by her hip and the other right above the shoulder, giving her the air of an anchor); the mother of two has had a rather unconventional and specially configured path to stardom that makes her feel both new and seasoned in the space depending on the setting. Music is what got her in all of the rooms. A mere four years ago, Caresha, the rapper, and JT were signed to Quality Control. Their story thus far—unraveled and presented in docuseries form by both MGX Creative and Mass Appeal—is one of triumph. The duo became the first two women on the label, also home to Lil Yachty, Lil Baby and Quavo; they had little experience and two songs under their name, but QC’s co-founders, Coach K and P, saw into their future. City Girls released their first studio album, Girl Code, in April 2018 and had an affirming co-sign when Drake tapped them to be part of his song “In My Feelings” that July. The song was released with much of their original contributions chopped with the exception of their interlude, Drake name-checking them in the hook, and Yung Miami’s appearance in the video. It came out on the same day JT turned herself in for credit card fraud in June 2018. She would go on to serve over a year of her sentence, and her counterpart was tasked with keeping the entity alive and relevant, while pregnant. “F*ck that Netflix and chill, what’s your net worth?” she spits on the track.
Yung Miami has taken a backseat to Caresha over the last few months with the growth of Caresha Please, but she’s still top of mind for the multi-hyphenate. She’s well aware of the inklings and commentary surrounding she and JT’s partnership. Duos are few and far between these days, and women duos are particularly so, with Salt-N-Pepa paving the way for them to have a seat at the table, a mission many opt to fill alone. Recently, JT’s sentiments on things coming between them, shared in conversation with Angie Martinez on her IRL podcast, sparked skepticism on the future of the duo overall. But, Caresha is cocksure.
“I don’t think that we would ever split up. Sometimes we go through shit. Like sometimes, we not speaking months, weeks… I can think, ‘Oh yeah, I could do it without her.’ She could think, ‘Oh yeah, she could do it without me.’ But it’s like we’re better as a group. I feel like two is better than one,” Caresha says. (The two just performed at Dreamville Fest and are on the lineups for the Roots Picnic and Broccoli City Festival.) “I feel like the world can push ‘cause I read a lot of tweets and everybody like, “You want JT to go solo, solo, solo, solo, solo.” And when groups separate, it’s really, like, when you come out as a group, you better as a group… Sometimes we don’t feel like doing it. But I don’t see us splitting up. That’s not a worry, and I don’t see it. I don’t feel it. Or at least I just feel like I don’t see it no time soon.”
Despite being willfully and joyously tethered and in pursuit of further growth with the City Girls, Caresha is building a solo name and identity for herself on her own terms. In the music studio, she recently exhibited her pen’s chops with a quick dip into Lola Brooke’s fun forewarning track “Don’t Play With It;” her pithy verse proves she can hold her own. In the podcast studio, she further leans into that unabashed, raw persona by drawing inspiration from no one… except maybe Oprah.
