[nx_pullquote]“What you gon’ do for Big Mama, for real?”[/nx_pullquote] That is a fascinating, mind-boggling question, Latto (Alyssa Stephens). The Grammy-nominated rapper released “Big Mama” as a single in 2024. It modestly impacted the pop charts, spending one week on the Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at number 92. It’s a bummer, but that doesn’t keep the second track from her 2025 album, Sugar Honey Iced Tea, from being a certified rap banger. Oh, and by certified, I mean that the single received gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America. Not too shabby! “Big Mama” features lots of writers, including Latto, and producers COUPE, OZ, and Kid Masterpiece. It samples the 1989 song, “Shadow Love”, by Jaya.
“Big Mama” is the tale of two songs. Part one features cool, rhythmic production (the Jaya sample). You might describe it as a chill vibe. Still, Latto brings the heat, delivering a rhythmic, melodic cadence and flow. Even though the sound of the first part of the record is kinder and gentler, Latto is still profane and offers plenty of NSFW lyrics. “Can you give me some good dick ‘til I cum? (Cum for you),” she asks, and continues, “Then can you make me nut again, where’s your tongue?” Oo-wee! If that wasn’t enough, the second part of “Big Mama” goes harder. Latto rids of the pitch, dropping hard-nosed, unapologetic rhymes
“Thought I told you bitches, I pull up in twenty Cadillacs (Skrrt), yeah
Money long, cheetah thong, thick as hell, Georgia Dome
Sharin’ niggas, sharin’ clothes, I don’t know what y’all be on.”
Holy shyt! Beyond the verse, you won’t be able to get the repeated “Big Mama(s)” unstuck from your head during the chorus. “Big Mama” = banger, PERIOD!
