With so many female rap artists on the rise right now, it can be hard to stand out. With her latest release, 24-year-old Latto is certainly proving that she's had no problem carving out her own lane. On the upbeat, "Lottery," she works with Congolese-Canadian artist LU KALA over a disco-infused beat that's sure to remain in rotation well into the summer months.
The Ohio-born starlet teased the track on Instagram a few weeks ago. At the time, she told followers that "pop Latto [is] loading," and boy did she deliver. While the beat is a far departure from what the "Wheelie" hitmaker usually rhymes over, her lyrics are as raunchy as ever.
"Ooh, you lookin' at a centrefold / Playboy bunny, wanna take me home?" she flirtatiously asks on the second verse. "Bad bitch from head to toe / Tryna fold me up and lick it like an envelope." On the chorus, KALA's voice shines as she sings about unwrapping in the sheets and revealing dirty fantasies.
"Lottery" marks Latto's first release of the year, following a triumphant run throughout 2022. In December, she gave us "Another Nasty Song" – a previously unreleased title that fell victim to her massive leak. Prior to that, we heard her collaborate with GloRilla and the late Gangsta Boo on "FTCU" as well as Chlöe on "For the Night."
The quick-witted rhymer is also approaching the one-year anniversary of her debut album. At this time, it remains unclear when her sophomore effort will arrive, but fans certainly hope to see a strong roster of collaborators again. On 777, she tapped the likes of 21 Savage, Lil Wayne, Childish Gambino, and more to aid her.

Quotable Lyrics:
You gotta work for this, can’t purchase this
Gotta prove yourself and show me what your purpose is
Show me that you’re really worthy of my services
I keep a n*gga on my arm where my purses is
