Beyond the Bars: All Eyes on Yung Miami as She Reminds the World Why She’s the One to Count In

The Miami-Dade native shows us what it’s like balancing motherhood, a new album, "Watch Dis," and leveling up

Whether you love her or not, Caresha (Brownlee), better known as Yung Miami, owns a persona that is entirely her own.

I love how she’s always her authentic self and what you see is what you get. In a world of curated celebrity images she isn’t trying to be anyone else. The self-proclaimed “Opa-locka’s finest” rapper has never shied away from where she comes from.



The bigger picture is how she balances motherhood and a solo career and still finds time to level up in a male dominated industry.

Her girlfriend aura pairs well with her fashion, charisma, and relentless grindset. She’s the fun friend you want to hang with at the party and everywhere else too. Her glamorous modern-day pin-up girl, hyper-feminine style makes her stand out as one of the coldest dressed females in the game.

Over the years the criticism has gotten louder online when it comes to her rapping. Some call it mediocre and cringe while others have pointed out that she has come a long way since “Fu** Dat N*a” and “Act Up.” Her past connection to the music mogul Diddy and the public drama around the City Girls split have kept her in the headlines.

Through all of it she clearly knows how to separate opinion from fact. The message to the world stays simple:

“I ain’t thinking I’m bigger than sh**. This is my program, though. My career is my motherfking** program.”

For a woman with almost a decade in the rap game who turned her rap career into a multimillion-dollar media and lifestyle empire she is not slowing down.

With “Spend Dat,” the lead single from her new solo studio album Watch Dis, that hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Rap Airplay and Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay charts, a talk show and podcast, Caresha Please, that has generated over $1 million in sales in a single month, a card game, Resha Roulette, that hit No. 1 on Amazon in the Drinking Games category, lucrative partnerships with Savage X Fenty and Fashion Nova and acting on her resume, she has proven time and again she is the one to be counted in.
