The City Girls find themselves in disagreement over which project should be labeled as their debut album, shedding light on an intriguing yet predictable revelation.
Caresha and JT, when asked by Complex to name the greatest hip-hop album of all time, naturally chose their own projects. However, a disagreement arose when JT referred to “Girl Code” as their debut project, and Caresha argued that their first album was “Period,” the predecessor of “Girl Code.”
Here’s where it gets complicated: both “Period” and “Girl Code” were released 6 months apart in 2018 through their long-standing label, Quality Control, with “Period” being released first.
However, “Period” was initially branded as a mixtape upon its release by Quality Control. Therefore, technically, JT’s claim about “Girl Code” being their debut album is correct. Record labels often label projects as mixtapes to test the audience’s response, which means minimal consequences if the project fails.
A representative from QC told TMZ Hip Hop that the label officially recognizes “Girl Code” as their first project, with hit singles like “Twerk” and “Act Up” making their debut on the Billboard charts.

If we dive deeper into the technical aspects, some may argue that the City Girls never had a definitive debut in terms of a proper rollout.
“Girl Code” was released while JT was serving a prison sentence for credit card fraud, and their follow-up album, “City On Lock,” leaked prematurely in the summer of 2020. This forced the duo to release the project incrementally and promote it as such.
