Latto, who had a big breakout in 2020 with the release of her debut album, Queen Of Da Souf, maintained her momentum in 2021 with songs like “Fast Lane” from the latest installment of the Fast & Furious film franchise, “Big Energy,” which marked a pop-leaning lane change for the normally hard-punching Atlanta artist, and “Soufside,” a rugged ode to her hometown. It looks like that trend’ll continue in 2022, as she preps the release of her sophomore album and announces a headlining spot on the upcoming Monster Energy Outbreak Tour.

The tour will begin in March in Santa Cruz, California, and continue through to April, when it will conclude right back in Latto’s hometown, Atlanta. Tickets will go on sale this Friday at 10 am local time, with pre-sale events today and tomorrow. You can get more information at outbreakpresents.com. In a press release, Latto said, “Monster Energy Outbreak Tour has backed a lot of big artists in the beginning stages of their careers so I’m super excited to work together. It’s been a tough year for a lot of people so I’m looking forward to letting loose and having some fun.”

Latto was recently profiled by Uproxx as our Winter 2022 Digital Cover artist. You can read our cover story here.

Latto’s ‘Soufside’ Video Gives A High-Speed Tour Of Her Hometown

by

A week after Latto ran roughshod over an impressive LA Leakers freestyle, the Atlanta native returns to give a high-speed tour of her hometown in the patriotic “Soufside” video. Shouting out the streets, businesses, and landmarks she grew up around, Latto delivers a boastful, assertive, and lyrically dextrous verse, name-checking Southlake, Pointe South, Rex Road, Riverdale, Lovejoy, and more as she cruises through Atlanta in a convertible and posts up outside the Southside Discount Mall (we call ’em swap meets in LA) with a massive crew.

The new track marks a return to the trap-inspired, bass-heavy sounds that first helped Latto make her name — y’know, before she changed it — after her last single, “Big Energy,” threw longtime fans for a loop with its pop-friendly beat. While it’s nice when artists can show versatility, rap fans are often skeptical of big stylistic changes, and here, Latto shows a powerful understanding of how to switch lanes while remaining anchored to her signature sounds. This gives her room to evolve without losing touch with her day-one fanbase, which is often the first step on the road to rap royalty. Give her another couple of years, and Latto just might go from “Queen Of Da Souf” to the ruler of the rap game (pun intended).

“Soufside,” along with “Big Energy” and “The Biggest,” are all set to lead up to the rapper’s second full-length studio album, which is due in early 2022.

Latto Trends On Twitter After Absolutely Demolishing Her LA Leakers Freestyle

by

When Latto released the pop-leaning “Big Energy,” the first new single from the follow-up to her debut album Queen Of Da Souf, some fans weren’t sure what to make of her stylistic evolution. After all, she’d made her name on bass-heavy, rap-forward trap anthems, with the most recognizable sample on her debut coming from Gucci Mane’s 2006 hit “Freaky Gurl.” Now, she’s using the same sample as Mark Morrison’s “Return Of The Mack” and Mariah Carey’s “Heartbreaker,” leaving some fans feeling like she switched up.

However, today, Latto reassured those fans with some absolutely devastating rhymes for the LA Leakers radio show as she flexed her lyrical chops over Yung LA’s “Ain’t I,” reminding folks that her pen game remains as sharp as her dagger-like fingernails. Boasting that she’s still spending money from The Rap Game and boasts that “I’m in my prime, Amazon can’t f*ck with my delivery.” She also takes a few bars to shoot down some of her detractors, many of whom took issue with her single “The Biggest“; “How you big, can’t name a track? / How you big, can’t hang a plaque?” she challenges. The verse was so impactful that “Big Latto” began trending on Twitter just an hour later and shows no sign of slowing down — just like Latto’s booming career.
