Latto, Sunday Service | Song Review 🎵

Female rap beef continues to be all the rage in 2024, and Latto offers up her diss track, “Sunday Service,” to her nemesis, Ice Spice.

“Idon’t sing R&B but, bitch, I’m really her, fuck wrong with niggas?” Didn’t you hear that female rapper diss tracks are all the rage? Grammy-nominated rapper Latto gets into the female rap beef with her first single of 2024, “Sunday Service”.  “Sunday Service” features slinky sounding production courtesy of Go Grizzly, Pooh Beatz, and Bankroll Got It.  The sound catches the ear, featuring a banging beat. It’s fuel for the fire of Latto, who disses miss, “Think U The Shit (Fart)”, Ice Spice. Notably, Latto makes her own diss track longer than her nemesis’, but, it’s still sub-three-minutes in duration.

Post-intro, the chorus is the first major section of the song heard.  Latto is hard-nosed and unapologetic, serving up plenty of unique lines. “You ain’t my daddy, bitch, I’m big mama (Bitch) / Every time y’all book me with them hoes, it’s gon’ be big drama (Grrah),” she asserts, before dropping the gem of the chorus – maybe the whole song: “Twenty black Suburbans, we pull up like Sunday Service (Skrrt) / I just want a one on one, don’t know why she so nervous (Boop, ha) / Fuck what these hoes sayin’ ’cause my nigga say I’m perfect.” Well, damn! Expectedly, Latoo performs with a unique flow to match her biting, scathing bars.  Besides the colorful chorus, she also serves up two verses with no shortage of one-liners. “You a clown and I’m allergic, niggas straight up out the circus (Haha),” she spits in the first, adding in the second, “He can’t tell if it’s authentic or it’s surgery, please, Lil Nas X the only nigga curvin’ me.” Wow! And one more insult for good measure, also from the second verse: “Do you rap, or do you tweet? ‘Cause I can’t tell, get in the booth, bitch.” “Sunday Service” is entertaining.  Is it the second coming or incredibly deep? Nah, but if you’re in need of a musical soundtrack to this female rap beef, Latto has added her two cents in.
