GRAMMY NOMINATED RAPPER LATTO AKA “BIG MAMA” RELEASES HER THIRD STUDIO ALBUM, SUGAR HONEY ICED TEA

Today, ATL-based Grammy nominated rapper Latto aka Big Mamareleases her highly anticipated third studio album Sugar Honey Iced Tea via RCA Records.

The album is centered around Latto’s Georgia Southern roots and displays her signature raw, witty lyricism over magnetic beats. The 21-track album features A-List Southern artists including Megan Thee Stallion, Ciara, Coco Jones, Young Nudy, Flo Milli, Teezo Touchdown and more.

This album release follows Latto’s major Billboard July cover print issueand the release of the singles “Big Mama,” “Sunday Service,” “Put It On Da Floor” and latter two track’s respective remixes.

The 2023 BET “Best Female Hip-Hip Artist” award winner has brought everyone to her ATL church this summer starting with the original version of the single “Sunday Service” which garnered viral buzz when Latto teased a snippet of the song on her IG a few months prior, giving fans her signature witty bars over a catchy beat. Directed by Hidji World and Latto herself, the video features Latto in various settings including the Bronx with “twenty black suburbans we pull up like Sunday Service” – click here to watch. 

In June, Latto released the remix to her single “Sunday Service” featuring Megan Thee Stallion & Flo Milli and her next single, “Big Mama.” The latter track was dropped right before her two performances at the 2024 BET Awards – one for a medley of “S/O To Me,” “Big Mama” & “Sunday Service” and the other for Usher’s tribute. She garnered two nominations at the award show this year, “Best Female Hip-Hop Artist” and “Best Collaboration.” Latto also headlined ATL’s Hot 107.9 Birthday Bash that same month and made history as the first-ever female headliner. Big Mama showed up and showed out giving a stellar performance to her fans and surprising them with major special guests including Usher, Flo Milli, Mariah The Scientist and more. Most recently, Latto has been nominated for two 2024 MTV VMA awards –  “Best Collaboration” and “Best K-Pop” for “Seven” with Jung Kook.

In addition to music, Latto wrapped up taping Season 2 of Netflix’s Rhythm & Flow as a judge alongside DJ Khaled and Ludacris, which is coming out this year.

With over 1 billion streams worldwide across all platforms and accolades continuing to rack up from her success, Latto has the stage to become a global superstar. Since the release of her hit RIAA-certified and Music Canada certified 3x Platinum single “Big Energy” in 2021 Latto has been inescapable.

She went on to make history with the single as the first female rapper to ever have a #1 record at Pop, Rhythm and Urban Radio with the same single. Overall, she’s also the first female artist in 12 years to accomplish this feat, joining the company of Rihanna (“Rude Boy”), Alicia Keys (“No One”), Beyonce (“Irreplaceable”),  Mary J. Blige (“Be Without You”) and Mariah Carey (“We Belong Together”), the last five to previously achieve this. Since then, she has won various awards including: “Best New Artist” at the 2022 BET Awards, “Best New Artist”at the 2022 People’s Choice Awards, Variety Hitmakers “Breakthrough Artist” Honoree, 2023 Billboard’s Women in Music “Powerhouse Award,”“Song of the Summer” for “Seven” with Jung Kook at the 2023 MTV VMA Awards, and “Best Female Hip-Hop Artist” at the 2023 BET Awards.

In addition to all the awards Latto has racked up over the past few years, she was also nominated at the 2023 Grammy Awards for “Best New Artist” and “Best Melodic Rap Performance” (for “Big Energy (Live)”) and has graced multiple print covers in 2023 alone such as Cosmopolitan, Rolling Stone “Musicians on Musicians” Issue with Snoop Dogg, XXL Magazine – which included a video component for XXL’s first-ever all female cypher curated bby Latto (that trended on Youtube and went viral) – and a digital cover for Forbes ’30 Under 30’ as the call out for the Musicians section. 

In the summer of 2023 Latto had her firstinternational festival run in Europe that included Wireless Festival (London), Roskilde Festival (Denmark), Rolling Loud Germany, and more. She’s also attended various fashion weeks over the years in New York, Milan, and Paris where shewent shows for Robert Cavalli, Etro, Blumarine, Diesel, Tommy Hilfiger, Rabanne, GCDS and more. With the release of her third studio album, this next chapter of Latto’s career will spolight her new music, have creative vibrant visuals and give more big energy from The Biggest.

In my opinion it depends on where in ATL you go that makes it worth it but you will NOT be bored there. There’s so much shit to do all the time. I’m actually in a college town northeast of ATL (as descriptive as i can get without full on doxxing myself) but a few times a year i go to actual ATL to do stuff. I like the surrounding cities better than actual downtown though 😂😂 I’m not a big city girl (which is surprising since I lived in downtown Orlando for 2 years) so it can get VERY overwhelming 😂 also, no one can fucking drive. Florida was obviously significantly worse but fuck dude. ATL drivers are another level so when and if you come prepare for that if you havent experienced it already

-♎️

No that makes perfect sense!! One of my colleagues recently moved to ATL and she’s said almost all the same stuff about it, I’m definitely a city girl so I’d love to at least explore what I can in the downtown area and then kinda explore the outskirts so I get a lil bit of everything. Also noted on the drivers LMAO that does not sound like a fun time 😀😀😀😀 THANK U BBY I will consider ATL when tour’s announced (granted they tour ATL but I’m sure they will) 💕🩷💖💓💘💞👼

two weeks or so ago i was on the beach with my man playing soccer goalie & tryna keep the ball he was kicking at bay. and playing a version of bowling, in which we dug a stick into the sand and lobbed our dollar tree ball at it, each keeping track of whose slow moving orb met its target.

we found 27 miles of beach that you could drive on & woke up by the ocean.

in meantime, there’s the litany of grading to do & the slow haul toward putting myself back on the job market to sell my labor & call it a living. met with my therapist today for the first time in a month & discussed my drinking, but here I am with a rita in my hand come nighttime. it’s all under control people don’t worry: i’m only on drink 2 of 3 I allow myself a week.

we’re all on this spinning lil planet on this big vast earth waiting to die. wondering what it’s like to die. terrified out of skulls about dying. i learned today that death doulas are a thing (shout out to ATL, one of the best shows ever broadcasted) & that the word doula itself means “woman who serves.” huh.

last monday hubs & i woke by the ocean to a car battery that was dead. we drove from texas to tulsa & midway thru decided we needed to fuck, but couldn’t find a place to pull over that was discreet enough. hour four or five of wanting that dick had my mind firing irrational shit like it’s alright let’s do it right by the side of the road. found a state park shortly beyond the OK stateline & fucked hard & fast in the back seat to a rainstorm, which worsened enough that shortly after we pulled to the side of the road and promptly got stuck in the mud. an hour later of digging and driving forward and backward revealed we’d have to give up the ghost and approach the darkened trailer in the woods to ask for help. its opened door revealed hoarder style living and the nicest country bumpkins i ever did encounter, including the husband lit AF and asserting that if we wanted to get out of the rain & stay at their spot for the night, we could: a suggestion he repeated over & over again. pawpaw up the street was called & promptly removed us from our stuckness with a couple of chains and a big ass truck. did i mentioned while stuck in the mud, we’d received hurricane warnings on our phone?

took the back roads home from there and at one point, the straight road curved without warning and goddamnit we were spinning here to there across the road. i said ahhhhhhhhhh and it felt like the damn car was slipping and sliding for ten minutes. bby straightened it and on our way we went.

the hurricane coulda gathered itself and taken us, or the car could have done the same. in meantime i can’t find the swing of things back at home: stayed up til three am colouring last night and watching an al pachino movie, woke at 11:00 and did a cute performance for my therapist. we’re all just trying at ways to measure and maintain our control  because we can’t fathom that our inevitable end is soon, and we’ve no idea what it will be like.
