Miami teased this back at the beginning of January.

The City Girls rap duo consisting of Yung Miami and JT, is looking to turn a new leaf in 2024. Yung Miami had a great year from a business standpoint with her award-winning podcast. But, on the music side of things, production was lacking. Their album RAW was a flop sales wise, as fans and critics clearly we not too intrigued with what they were doing. But, things seem to be on the up-and-up for JT and Yung Miami individually. Lil Uzi Vert's boo dropped a solid banger, "Sideways," this past weekend.

For Miami, she has a new era she wants to usher in. She first hinted at this back in January in a vague tweet. She wrote, "Welcome to the "Yams Era" I'm so excited for this era of my life we about to have some FUN!!!" To this day, fans still are not sure what this all means. If you search the web for what Yams is there are a couple of explanations. One of which is a way to pronounce Miami (My-Yam-Me). Not surprisingly, the Urban Dictionary also has some unique definitions of it.

Yung Miami Is Hungrier Than Ever Before

Overall though, it seems Yung Miami is really embracing where she is from and is going to bring that into whatever she does. A month later after hinting at this new approach, she posted a "Yams" trailer on her Instagram. In the video, she is talking to whoever is recording her about making a comeback with shots of her in the studio making new music. A sneak peek of a ginger hairstyle also seems to be her next look as she states it in the visuals as well. Miami captioned the post, saying, "Welcome to the YAMs Era! The Yams Era is my Prime time! In the Yams we do ginger hair…focus on ourselves…& get money! Yams is the new lingo… To my fans, The YAMS…this is the new us. Drop a 🍠 if you’re ready!" JT, Saweetie, and others flooded her comments with the yam emoji and support for this new outlook.

What are your thoughts on Yung Miami's trailer for her "Yams Era?" What do you think all of this means? Could an album be in the works? Is this more of a mindset or an approach to her music?
