 Wow, what's up everybody once again, it's Brand Man Sean and today we got to talk about City Girls and how they went back to the basics to lay a foundation to blow up quickly and not only that why they're positioned for a unique space in the game. All right now first let's talk about how these girls blew up in the first place. Their first song for the niggas, they didn't actually mean to record that song they actually went to the studio trying to record a diss track to some girls that track actually just happened to come up out of it and then what do they do? They start posting that song on Instagram they start getting girls to sing that song and start posting and reposting videos of those girls singing those songs these are two basics that everybody has known many people have tried but then not only that they use the little bit of energy that they got from the Instagram as leverage to start booking shows and getting a few people out. Now for those of you guys who don't know City Girls are from the Miami area and their sound definitely reflects that which we'll get to in a second but on top of those two things they had another X factor yeah they had that stuff moving on Instagram just a little bit but they had a manager named Stan this guy right here we've talked about managers before multiple times how do you know you have a good manager and how do you know if you have a bad manager one thing that's been a constant is your manager knows how to make some shake basically right your manager has to know how to sell you as a product you as a squad if you're a group these girls are a group but not only that your manager might need to have some connections or know how to get to people if they don't have connections why that's so important this situation is they got coach K to hear their music the girls weren't even trying to make this happen by the way one of the girls said when she heard coach K was interested in them they were trying to go independent still like a lot of these other Miami Florida rappers but at the end of the day they ended up getting signed by coach K in quality control but even bigger than that this was just with that one song that was really moving if you actually watched the video for that one song it says quality control presents these girls got signed before their first video even dropped a lot of that probably had to do with the fact that coach K could see what it was and he understood what it was this was Trina reincarnated but better yet it was in the package of two girls instead of one that way it's not competing with Trina and that legacy this is that straight up Florida sound that a lot of people might not get because I've seen people say oh this is Ratchet or like these girls are trash if you don't really know that Florida sound then you don't get it but people know it when they hear it and they understand that era you just get that feeling it's a certain feeling that you can't get when you rap like it's just you got to know what I'm talking about another thing that's really important with these girls to understand that you might connect for a lot of girl artists that they might have want to try it's the fact that these samples have really been a great way for female artists to pop off fucking that nigga from the city girls was sampling my neck my back the uh I'll take your man that coach K actually recommended that they do was salt and peppers song which also sampled funkadelics flashlight which I did a video on funkadelics a couple of weeks ago but they're sampling they're sampling they're sampling samples just seem to be for some reason at least right now a great way for female artists to blow now with all that being said yeah they were able to use some samples that made them a little bit catchier yeah they were able to get some girls to post their stuff and repost their stuff on instagram and use that to get some shows and they had a manager that apparently had some game doesn't matter in the terms of the quality control situation if they already had a similar now what I mean by that is it's important for artists to realize if you want to try to get on the label or something like that make sure they don't already have what you have because quality control did not have a similar act to city girls they had demigos demigos are different than little yachty demigos a little yachty are different than a little baby right they're not going to put an artist that's going to compete with their own artists on their quality control didn't really have a female artist front and center and they definitely didn't have a female duo which probably made them more attractive and interesting because female duels are definitely lacking from the game all these things probably did work in their favor at some point there were some things that people did consider and when you have the system that is quality control obviously they know how to make things move but those unique things are what's going to make them ultimately more successful higher than just what the system's going to do for them they could pretty much take anybody and get them on a certain level but it's going to be that unique sound that they got going on the fact that they're a girl duo and the energy that they bring that's going to probably get them to a level that most people aren't really looking or checking that at them for at this point other than that though I would like to go ahead and see what you guys think in the comments because they're still pretty early on a lot of people don't really know about them I've been following them since pretty much the very beginning love to know your thoughts other than that if you liked this video go ahead hit that like button if you like it might as well share it and if you're not subscribed you know what to do hit that subscribe button
