Take a load off, pull up a chair and pour yourself a glass of some Sugar Honey Iced Tea because Latto’s third studio album is finally here!
Featuring contributions from Ciara, Coco Jones, Hunxho, Young Nudy, Teezo Touchdown, Megan Thee Stallion and Mariah the Scientist, Sugar Honey Iced Tea stands as Latto’s ultimate ode to her hometown of Atlanta. With the help of close collaborators Pooh Beatz and Go Grizzly, Latto skates over a soundscape that pulls from trap, Atlanta bass, R&B and old-school hip-hop for a journey through the years since 777. Those years have been marked by massive success — a pair of Grammy nominations (including best new artist) and a Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper in “Seven” (with Jungkook) — as well as age-old signifiers of maturity: a new house and a new relationship.
Before the Sugar Honey Iced Tea era kicked into high gear with the release of “Big Mama,” Latto kicked off 2024 with a pair of high-profile collaborations with pop icons Usher (“A-Town Girl”) and Jennifer Lopez (“Can’t Get Enough”). Those collabs set the stage for “Sunday Service,” a shot-firing single that Latto later remixed with Megan Thee Stallion and Flo Milli, launching the song onto Hot 100 (No. 100). Both the original and remix versions of “Sunday Service” appear on Sugar Honey Iced Tea as bonus tracks, as do the original and remix versions of 2023’s “Put It On Da Floor,” which Cardi B helped lift to No. 13 on the Hot 100.
Sugar Honey Iced Tea is the follow-up to 2022’s 777, which reached No. 15 on the Billboard 200 off the strength of its breakout single “Big Energy.” Latto first reached the Billboard 200 with 2020’s Queen of da Souf, which also spawned her very first Hot 100 entry, “B-tch from da Souf” (No. 95). On the Hot 100, Latto has charted eight songs, including the top ten hits “Seven” (No. 1, with Jung Kook) and “Big Energy” (No. 3).
