Latto unveils the tracklist for the new album “777”.
Last week, Latto announced that her new album “777” will drop on March 25th, and also revealed the official cover art for the project. Today, the 23-year-old decided to unveil the tracklist for the new album, which includes the recently released single “Wheelie” with 21 Savage.
The new album will have 13 tracks, with guest appearances from Kodak Black on “Bussdown”, Lil Wayne & Childish Gambino on “Sunshine”, Lil Durk on “Like A Thug”, and Nardo Wick on “Stepper”. The project will also have a bonus track “Big Energy” remix with a surprise feature.

In a recent interview with Big Boy’s Neighborhood, Latto revealed that one of the features on the album gave her a hard time clearing the verse because she wouldn’t respond to a DM. “Being a female rapper, I’m clearing my album right now. It’s been difficult to deal with these men. They don’t know how to keep it business,” she said. “I don’t care, baby. I’ma just keep it 100. It’s a feature on my album. It was difficult to clear and they tryna drop they nuts on me because I won’t respond to a DM.”
She continues without naming the artist, “Just because I love the song so much and I had to turn it in yesterday. So, I didn’t really have a choice. So, I was like backed into a corner, like bullied. I wish more females would speak up on stuff. I know the label they say, ‘Don’t do that. Bad business, or whatever.’ Man, these folks be trying to drop nuts on female rappers. I’m not gon’ shut up about that. “We tolerate too much. We think, like, oh, that just comes with the game of being a female rapper. No, it shouldn’t, though. That’s lame.”
Latto debuted “Wheelie” with 21 Savage in March, but her 2021 single “Big Energy” is reaching even greater heights. With over 59 million Spotify listens, the song has now reached its highest Billboard Hot 100 ranking ever, No. 14.

Latto released her debut album Queen of Da Souf in August 2020, featuring Gucci Mane, City Girls, 42 Dugg, Saweetie, and others. She told Uproxx in December about her early rap career. “I’ve been rapping since eight years old,” she said. “You know how people be like, ‘Oh, I’ve been rapping since I was two years old. Like, my momma put a microphone in my hand and I used to dance in front of the TV?’ No, I’m talking about full-blown, going to the studio, dropping music videos, promoting mixtapes, passing out mixtapes out the trunk of my daddy car.”
