Atlanta Rapper Kali’s Debut EP ‘Toxic Chocolate’ Turns The Tables On The F-Boys Of Hip-Hop

by

For quite some time, hip-hop has been dominated by a style that fans have come to describe as “toxicity.” Pioneered by moody rappers like Future and Drake, it’s marked by passive aggression, avoidant attachment, and audio gaslighting, with rappers and singers delighting in keeping their significant others guessing in the narratives of their songs. Notably, this style has also been dominated by men — until now.

Atlanta newcomer Kali looks to shake up the status quo with her debut EP, Toxic Chocolate, in which she turns the tables on the f*ckboys of hip-hop, using their manipulative tactics to even the odds and give them a taste of their own medicine. After initially gaining popularity on TikTok — how else? — with her breakout single “Mmm Mmm,” Kali makes the most of that attention on Toxic Chocolate, demonstrating her gift for wordplay and her spicy relationship sensibilities.

In the standout single “UonU” featuring Yung Bleu, Kali promises to play an Uno reverse card on a cheating boyfriend, while on “Standards,” she throws down a gauntlet, explaining why she “ain’t doin’ that back and forth sh*t.” Further promoting the new EP, she revels in other women’s relationship drama and gives them some supremely bad — but satisfying — advice via her Toxic Chocolate Hotline skit, which you can watch above.

Kali’s already off to a great start and will build on that momentum this month when she joins her “Mmm Mmm” collaborator, fellow Atlantan Latto, on the Monster Energy Outbreak Tour kicking off March 19 in Santa Cruz, California, with more episodes of her Hotline to come.

Latto Showboats And Pops A ‘Wheelie’ With 21 Savage In Their Boastful Video

by

It’s been a little over 18 months since Latto dropped her major-label debut album Queen Of Da Souf. The project arrived after she earned a spot on the 2020 XXL Freshman Class list. Altogether, Queen Of Da Souf helped push the Atlanta rapper into the spotlight and she’s absolutely made the most of it. Her 2021 single “Big Energy” has grown to be her most successful track so far. Now, Latto is looking to match the song’s success with her latest single, “Wheelie.” The track arrives with a guest verse from fellow Atlanta native 21 Savage and a thrilling new video.

The new visual is filled with motorbikes and luxury vehicles doing donuts which is fitting action for the new song. Elsewhere, Latto shows off her dance moves and later stands tall and confident with 21 Savage as they flex some muscle through boastful raps. The new track is not the duo’s first record together as Latto previously recruited 21 Savage for “Pull Up” from her Queen Of Da Souf album.

The new record comes after Latto delivered song strong guest verses over the last year. They include a remix of “Sorry Not Sorry,” her most recent effort with Atlanta rapper Omeretta The Great, as well as records with Toosii, Don Toliver, and Lil Durk. 21 Savage, on the other hand, has recently laid verses with JID, King Von, Rick Ross, and more.

Clayco native Latto is continuously earning her stripes in her industry as a heavy hitter in the game. The rapper’s consistency, rap flow, and originality have charted her on Billboard and won the rapper several awards.

As Latto is still beating the odds on the mic, the 23-year-old rapper hinted at a new collaboration in the works with a fellow emcee. According to her post on social media, the female lyricist explained that the guest on her single titled “Wheelie” is a parent, has attended the Met Gala, and has a diamond record.

Fans immediately swarmed the comments believing that the guest appearance on the track could be Cardi B. “Probs Cardi. Sounds like a beat she’d use. I can hear her chasing the beat already,” one fan wrote.

“She’s been interacting with Cardi alot and this sound like a Cardi-type beat,” another fan commented.

While some fans believe that the feature could be coming from Cardi, others speculate that the feature could be coming from Nicki Minaj. “We all know Latto a die-hard fan of Nicki and always wanted a collab with Nicki,” one fan wrote.

While many are excited about this upcoming collab, fans are missing that Latto never stated the rapper was a female. This also leaves the options open for a male emcee to hop on the collaboration.

Who do you think Latto is teaming up with for her upcoming single? We will all find out this upcoming Friday, March 11th.
