Yung Miami Signs With WME as Solo Debut Album Approaches

Yung Miami just leveled up on the business side. The South Florida rapper and City Girls co-founder has signed with WME for worldwide representation across all areas, and the timing is no accident. She's gearing up to drop her first solo album and has real momentum behind her right now.

"New team, same pressure. We outside," she told Billboard. "Let's make some money & history!!!" That energy makes sense when you look at where she's standing.

'Spend Dat' Is Carrying Yung Miami to Career Firsts

"Spend Dat" is doing the kind of numbers that make agency deals easy to close. The track debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 66 and has since climbed to No. 19, peaking at No. 17. On the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart it's sitting at No. 4, and it just hit No. 1 on the Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart, the first solo No. 1 radio record of her career.

The song is also No. 10 on the TikTok Top 50, which means the streaming numbers are backing the radio story. And when the New York Knicks played it in their locker room after winning their first championship in 53 years and then invited her to perform it on the victory parade float, the cultural imprint became undeniable.

Billboard also ranked her No. 2 on its Hottest Female Rappers of 2026 list. She is not on the come-up right now. She is at the peak of a run.

Beyond the Music, Yung Miami Has Built a Whole Portfolio

The WME signing covers more than just music, and that reflects how she has built her brand. Her podcast, Caresha Please, won the BET Hip-Hop Award for Best Hip-Hop Platform in 2023 and remains a consistent draw. Her "Resha Roulette" card game hit No. 1 in the drinking game category on Amazon and sold out on its first drop.

This is a creator who has stacked multiple revenue streams and cultural touchpoints well outside of rap. An agency deal structured for worldwide representation in all areas suggests the next chapter expands that footprint even further.

Her solo debut album does not yet have an official release date, but with WME now in her corner and a chart-climbing single building the runway, the rollout is clearly already in motion.

What This Means for Independent Artists Watching the Move

For artists and creators building their own lane, Yung Miami's trajectory is worth studying. She used a recognizable brand, a side hustle in podcasting, and a product drop to build leverage before the solo album even arrived. By the time she signed with a major agency, the numbers were already speaking. That sequencing matters.
