Latto Fans Barely Recognize Her In Teenage Rap Video

Latto has been rapping for a long time, as she has plenty of old performance clips from when she was just a teenager . However, a new example of this that hit the Internet this week might be the most unrecognizable and shocking yet. Moreover, it's a music video of her with two friends rapping over a trap beat that sounds right out of the early 2010s, and this is when she was still going by "Miss Mulatto.

" In it, the Atlanta femcee has some fun in front of a green screen and delivers a charismatic verse with a much higher pitch than what you'll find on Sugar Honey Iced Tea . It's always heartening and at least pretty cool to see where rappers came from, especially when they are such huge stars now. It also goes to show that Latto's been about female rap from the jump, even if some shade she sent Ice Spice 's way might put that in question for some today.



Nevertheless, everybody has to start somewhere. Setting up the timeline for her artistic evolution reveals a pretty step-by-step progression thanks to videos like these.

In fact, she was named " Trapper Of The Year " at T.I. 's Trap Music Museum in Atlanta, which is the highest honor because it's a source of hometown pride.

Of course, we can't discount 2023 either, which held "Put It On Da Floor" and all the groundwork that provided this massive 2024 in the first place. Much like this old rap video, it's always important to connect the dots and understand that there's levels to the amount of work hip-hop's icons have to put in. Even though Sugar Honey Iced Tea didn't perform the best commercially , that doesn't reflect the dominant conversation that Latto was at the center of this year.

There's a lot of ink over the state of female rap and their interpersonal career dynamics, and she's been a big part of that discussion for better or worse. Ultimately, we're just excited to see what 2025 looks like and what the next evolution will be. Maybe we'll look back on this moment years down the line in the same way that we admire this music video.
