With all the accolades and awards nominations continuing to mount, it’s clear that Latto is primed for an epic 2022. From her recent appearance on LA Leakers with her viral freestyle to her feature on F9: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack alongside Lil Durk and Don Toliver for “Fast Lane” to her energetic sets at festivals like Rolling Loud Miami & Los Angeles, and Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash, she continues to elevate.
