Lattovo Iced tea with sugar and honey the tour follows the release of her third studio album, an ode to her Georgia roots featuring fellow Southerners Megan Thee Stallion, Ciara, Coco Jones, Young Nudy, Flo Milli, Teezo Touchdown and more.
The “Big Mama” rapper talked about what inspired her for the album title Billboard cover story earlier this summer, saying, “When I met [producers] dormouse [Beatz] and [Go] Grizz[ly] and closed with them, everything felt simple southern.”
Latto says working with Mariah Carey made her feel like ‘anything is possible’
“One day, not long after we dropped ‘Put It on Da Floor,’ I just walked into the studio like, ‘Sugar Honey Iced Tea’ is the name of the album,” she added. “People try to be messy and think that’s the answer to something. I promise you, this is before any of that s—. This is something that felt Southern to me. Where I’m from, we’ll be like, ‘I’m sugar and honey iced tea!'”

A few days after her album arrived, on August 13, Latto dropped a bonus track called “Chicken Grease,” a spin on TI’s 2003 hit “24’s,” which she listened to in her Iced tea with sugar and honey trailer (which also starred the latter). The track is already a fan favorite that patrons are hoping to hear on Latt’s tour this fall.
