City Girls' JT Heightens Anticipation For Her Solo EP With "Sideways" Video
Today (Feb. 2), City Girls’ JT launched her new solo single, “Sideways.” The accompanying visuals saw her wearing a coat from Bottega Veneta’s 2017 ready-to-wear collection and paying homage to the Jacki-O.
In the track, JT took aim at fake friends and anyone who changed up on her. She rapped, “B**ch, I ain’t friendly, I don’t f**k with y’all b**ches/ Try to take who? It ain’t enough of y’all b**ches/ H**s so phony, got me lookin’ at ’em sideways/ It’ll never be the same, motherf**k the old days.”
It signaled the Miami rapper’s further venture into solo territory ahead of her anticipated EP. So far, details like its release date and title remain forthcoming. However, it’s possible that July 2023’s “No Bars” might also appear on the body of work.
Watch the video below.
“I’m excited about dropping solo music because I can focus more on my creativity,” JT explained in a press statement. “I love everything about being an artist! I just wanna chill, look good and drop pretty, cocky b**ch music. I’m the City Cinderella!”
She continued, “‘Sideways’ is a mood! Sometimes, women are forced to be friends with everyone, and if we decide to stay to [ourselves], they call us mean. Most of these b**ches [are] nosey and phony! I love my b**ches, though, the real ones. Shout out to the real b**ches!”
Check out some reactions to “Sideways” below.
