As Latto puts the finishing touches on her anticipated sophomore album, the Georgia-bred rhymer served up an appetizer last week in the form of a bristling freestyle over Mobb Deep’s “Shook Ones, Part II” as part of REVOLT’s Off Top series.
Latto leans heavily into her metaphors as she rides the classic ’90s instrumental for about a 40-second spitfire freestyle. She touches on her plans to build generational wealth to set her family up for life rather than collecting gaudy material items and even name-drops Mobb Deep and LeBron James.
“Investments and property/I’m not gonna be another white man’s mockery/The jewelry and cars ain’t a lot to me, generational wealth has been a plot for me/Everywhere I go I Mobb Deep, I ain’t one of them shook ones that’s gonna dodge beef,” she raps.
The 40-second sprint leaves fans wanting more, but luckily Latto also unleashed her defiant “Big Energy” single on Friday (September 24), which samples Mariah Carey and Tom Tom Club.
Latto told Billboard in May that her sophomore LP should arrive “soon” as she’s “finishing it up.” Expect the unexpected with her forthcoming album, where she’ll look to showcase a different side of her skillset.
“I just been catching different vibes,” she said. “I been recording in Atlanta and I been recording in Miami and I’m recording in L.A. right now. This shit is so crazy. I’m really pushing myself. I’m choosing beats I would’ve cut off and been like, ‘I can’t do that shit.’

“I’m really pushing myself and this shit is really gonna be big. My A&Rs asking me what I want it to sound like, but I want to lane-switch. I don’t want no shit that they expected. I feel like I got this name change and bringing a whole different tone. This music better bring a different feeling.”

Omg I wanna suck on them tatas!!! Bet that pus taste like a veggie burger – DEElicious!!!
They’re faker than LNX’s Country accent, she all plastic. Most these thots are used up and ran through by the time they hit the mainstream that every executive and low level manager has time stamped her walls. You can have everyone else’s foul shots.
You’re still hoping to marry a virgin bruh?
You’re used to hot dogs bro.
I think so too lol, Ball Park Franks!!
That’s 40 seconds that I can’t get back. How many times can she say Latto. That was pretty wack that even P giving her the middle finger from Hell.
Im still gonna call her Mulatto. Fuck that cancel culture BS. This chick is fine. I bet her puss tastes like candy.
Yeah, milk duds. Pass. I rather smash Megan The Stallion or Doja Cat since I know they have been ran through by the entire industry and they’re natural, not plastic Barbie dolls.
Hot basura and the writer of this article is a lame this site finna be done soon fell a long way I remember when the reviews and interviews were something to look forward to
She rips ass over shook ones. There are homeless dudes rapping for change that can out rap that horrible “freestyle.”
Love her
Lol who wrote this article? That’s an average freestyle at best. You need to really bring it if you want to rip this classic instrumental. And I can’t imagine anyone pulling it off. Prodigy’s verse on Shook Ones Pt. II might well be the most quoted verse of all time. FOH!
Bruh…the freestyle is LITERALLY 40 seconds. Like, how far has this art form fallen that the new generation thinks this is “Going off” on a freestyle??
