Latto Celebrates ‘Sugar Honey Iced Tea’ Album Release With ‘ATL’ Inspired Skate Party
Latto celebrated her third studio album over the weekend (Aug. 10) in true Atlanta fashion. With inspiration in theme and attire from the film ATL the “Georgia Peach” rapper kept it local with a celebration at the famed skating rink, Cascade. The party, with guests including Yung Miami, Luh Tyler, Saucy Santana, Mariah The Scientist, and Andrea Kelly, was decked out with branded decor, leopard print, and candy-painted rides parked outside.

Sugar Honey Iced Tea, initially released last week to welcomed first-day reviews from fans, includes features from Mariah The Scientist, Coco Jones, Teezo Touchdown, Ciara, Young Nudy, Hunxho, and Megan Thee Stallion.
“I feel like what I’m doing has not been done before, so let’s start there. [Aesthetically], I’ve been pulling from Mariah Carey, Beyoncé, and Lil’ Kim,” she explained of the album.
“[Musically], I’ve been pulling from Kelis, but obviously with a Southern hip-hop twist. They have very feminine energy, but masculine in the sense of confidence. I feel like they was boss bi**hes. It just gave ‘I’m that girl.’ When you hear and see them in that prime era, it gave ‘I’m here to stay.'”
