Yung Miami's Hometown Honor Follows Her Solo Album Watch Dis!
The recognition comes just weeks after Yung Miami released her debut solo album, Watch Dis! , on October 23 through Uptown/Republic Records.
The 23-track project marks a new chapter for the rapper following her success with City Girls and features appearances from major names including Lil Baby, Summer Walker, Quavo, Rick Ross, Trina and Kodak Black.
Its lead single, “Spend Dat,” reached No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned platinum certification.
