Latto put her own spin on a highlight off of SZA’s S.O.S. for her latest freestyle.

While everyone immediately claimed “Kill Bill” as the best song off of S.O.S., “Smokin On My Ex Pack” was another highlight that showcased SZA in a new light. The record, produced by Jay Versace, found SZA coming through with bars over Roc-A-Fella-esque production.

The ATL rapper surprised fans on Thursday night when she unveiled her new freestyle over “Smoking On My Ex Pack.” The rapper expertly navigates through the Jay Versace-produced banger as she details grievances with her ex, social media, and the rap game at large. It’s another solid offering from Latto that showcases that she hasn’t lost her roots as a lyricist, despite her immense commercial success.

Latto released her last studio album, 777 last year but she hasn’t held back from dropping new music. She released the single “PUSSY” in response to the overturning of Roe V. Wade. Then, she linked up with Bantu, Maroon 5 and Yung Bleu on the “One Light” remix. However, the singles she dropped in late 2022 indicated that she might be in album mode. She unleashed “FTCU” ft. GloRilla and the late Gangsta Boo before unveiling, “Another Nasty Song.”

Quotable Lyrics
Sundress with no panties on but I wear the pants
I been showing my ass without a Onlyfans
You know, the rumors come with privacy
Hmm, more money, more anxiety
