Latto

“I stood in line for 'Pink Friday,' like crazy for Nicki.”

“The day that I actually tied with RCA, I didn't even go to sign. The energy was that good. I wasn't in the buildings that day specifically decided it was just more of furthering the relationship and seeing in the building and just meeting more people or whatever. But I don't know the interview was right.”

“In 5th grade, I cut my hair in bangs, did the pink highlights, everything. I remember when Nicki came out, her impact on our generation. Nicki is the G.O.A.T., fo sho'.”

“Everything about my brand is where I am from like the title of my album 'Queen of Da Souf'... I always credit my city because that is my brand.”

“My dad would build these cars with the candy paint, big rims and hydraulics and rappers would rent them for their video shoots. Growing up around this lifestyle in Atlanta inspired me.”

“I swear to God, you would think based on my aesthetic and my image and stuff I like to be glammed up. My favorite is sweats on, no nails.”

“I was in love with metaphors and similes and alliteration, just the play on the words. I was fascinated with that concept.”

“Being a part of this whole female rap movement, wave, whatever you want to call it, is so cool. You've got so many of us. There's like, different skin tones, different aesthetics, different accents, just like, a whole different style.”

“I don't freestyle much.”

“Little Latto would tell me now how proud she is because I'm doing all of these things that little Latto dreamed of. Big Latto sometimes gets consumed in everything to the point where I don't even realize I've been dreaming of doing the things that I'm doing now.”

“If I encourage people to vote, they'll come out and vote.”

“I want people to know my come-up, my grind, my authenticity. I don't come from rich parents. I just come from hustle.”

“My dad had Tupac playing all the time.”

“My mom was pregnant with me when she was 15 years old. She went to a majority white school so of course her being 15 years old, pregnant by a Black man, that was just too much for them to handle.”

“Yeah, you can't discredit my come-up.”

“I'm a female face for Atlanta and that's never been done before on a mainstream massive scale. That alone is my lane. And then, my Southern open flow with the bars, that separates me. And my authenticity.”

“I grew up on video shoots, in the studio, backstage at concerts.”

“Being biracial and being around my White family, I have to educate them.”

“Do not slide in my DM if you broke.”

“I'm really growing as a woman, and it just reflects in the music.”
