Yeah, they fire too now! Don’t get me wrong, but my purpose is bigger than that. I feel like my purpose is bigger than booty-shaking singles. How does it feel to make a record so impactful with your platform? You’re on fire sis, I know people tell you all the time. I’m like, ‘Oh, this gotta come out now.’ It literally fell in my lap, it was crazy. Then it ended up being overturned a month after I recorded that song. Still crazy! So I touched on a little bit of that, just the ways of society right now in general. It was just in talks of being overturned. I’m like okay, I can elaborate on that subject. I liked it, what is it? They told me what it was. I asked, ‘What is this sample? What’re they talking about? What’re they saying?’ I just heard that high-pitched voice. My process is always hearing the beat first. I first heard the beat, and I loved how different the beat was. Bring us back to that studio session-what inspired the record?
We definitely want to talk about “PXSSY,” we love how relatable it is. It was more like, okay, let me take a break. We were on the Big Island, it was so fun. How was Hawaii? You went for your birthday?įor my sister’s birthday, she’s so spoiled.
I’ve been out here in LA for almost a month now, just working. How are you doing? How does it feel to be here? You look fabulous. In fact, she recently announced she will be joining Lizzo on The Special Tour, with Lizzo personally choosing Latto as her opening guest-the perfect example of women supporting one another within the industry. Because if you’re lucky enough to have seen Latto perform in person, you know she’s giving you your money’s worth. Meaning, Latto’s work ethic is unmatched: spending endless hours in the studio perfecting her craft, overseeing all the creative direction in her outfits and visuals, and, of course, relentlessly practicing choreography in rehearsals to give her fans the best show possible. In 2020, Latto signed with RCA Records, and the Capricorn in her kicked into overdrive. At age 16, she dominated the spotlight on the reality television show called The Rap Game (hosted by Jermaine Dupri), even coming out as the winner of season one. Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia-Clayton County to be exact-real name Alyssa Michelle Stephens, she has been rapping since the age of 8 years old. But Latto is no overnight story-she has been grinding for a very long time, and her ascent to the forefront of hip-hop has been anything but easy. This year alone, Latto took home the trophy for Best New Artist at the BET Awards, brought out the iconic Mariah Carey at the award show to perform the official remix to “Big Energy,” and released her critically-acclaimed album 777, with standout features from Lil Wayne, Childish Gambino, 21 Savage, Lil Durk, Nardo Wick, and Kodak Black. Boasting 9.5 million followers on Instagram, 14.1 million monthly listeners on Spotify, and 1.49 million subscribers on YouTube, it’s safe to say Latto has created her own lane in the music industry, unleashing hit record after hit record, while giving audiences all around the world the confidence that they, too, can make their wildest dreams come true. She also launched her inaugural ‘Latto 4 The Ladies & Babies’ Christmas party, in partnership with Rainbow House, to offer meals and Christmas gifts for young moms and their children.Īt only 23 years old, Latto is already accomplishing what most artists wish they could in a lifetime-and she’s doing her part in giving back to the community all the while. What most people may not know is that the Platinum-selling recording artist launched her own Win Some Give Some Foundation to provide resources and support for at-risk teens and mothers. This is an anthem for women all around the world, to unite and speak out for their freedom to do as they wish with their bodies. While you may know Latto for her bangers-with Latto even going on record herself saying she does “way more than just rap about sex”-“PXSSY” is the perfect example of the artist using her platform for the greater good. One of the VMA nominations is for the Video for Good Award for her newest release, “PXSSY,” arguably her most impactful song during the height of the Roe v. Latto recently woke up in the morning to not one, not two, but four MTV VMA nominations, and she couldn’t be more elated.
