In the past few years since signing to RCA Records, the 25-year-old released her project Queen of Da Souf, her Gold album 777 and loose singles while continuing to elevate and garner accolade after accolade. When Latto dropped her critically acclaimed album 777 in March 2022 it debuted in the top 20 at #15 on the Billboard Hot 200 chart and top 10 at #6 on the Billboard Top Rap Albums chart. To support its release, she embarked on her first headlining tour, the 777 Tour, that hit major cities across the U.S. The impressive accolades she’s earned over the years throughout these releases include the following – she’s the first female rapper to ever have a #1 record at Pop, Rhythm and Urban Radio with the same single (“Big Energy”), the first solo female rapper from Atlanta to receive an RIAA-certification (both Gold and Platinum) and amassed her first solo top five hit on the Billboard Hot 100 with RIAA-certified 3x Platinum single “Big Energy” (peak #3). She was also honored with the “Breakthrough Artist” award for 2022 Variety Hitmakers and the “Powerhouse Award” at Billboard’s 2023 Women in Music Awards.

Shortly after her own tour ended, Latto hit the road again, this time being a guest on Lizzo’s Special Tour. To ring in 2023, Latto performed on Miley’s New Years Eve Party and then attended the 2023 Grammy Awards where she was nominated for “Best New Artist” and “Best Melodic Rap Performance” (the latter for the track “Big Energy (Live)”).
