Lower Your Expectations And You’ll Love It

JT has claimed the throne as the City Cinderella on her debut solo mixtape, which she dropped on Friday (July 19) via Quality Control.

The 16-track tape includes collaborations with DJ Khaled (“Oh”), Stunna Girl (“Lemon Pepper”), Clip (“All Stars”) and Jeezy on the remix of her hit single “OKAY,” which reached No. 72 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 22 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.

In her recent Paper cover story, JT clarified that City Cinderella is a mixtape, not an album. “People work on their albums for a year, albums are just different. So City Cinderella is not my first album, being that I made this project so damn fast,” the rapper said. “I had to create this project throughout the tour and moving around, so I didn’t have time to really nurture and doctor it. This is just something that I’m putting out with my pure instincts.”

Ahead of its release, JT dropped a 22-minute documentary about the making of her debut solo project.

City Cinderella is the debut studio mixtape by former City Girls member JT. The 16-track album makes frequent reference to JT's sexuality, wealth, and self-love as a black woman.

The City Cinderella has made her highly anticipated long-form debut. JT has unleashed her aptly entitled City Cinderella, which signals her first-ever solo studio record and a proper introduction to her artistry.

“I have literally NO words but I’m gonna say this. When I listen to City Cinderella, it’s what I want to hear,” she began in an Instagram caption. “I was being completely true to myself, the south, my city & my day 1’s who loved my verse on ‘Where The Bag At’ lol… ahhh I’m so happy it’s out!!! I feel free.”
