But amid the questions, one name rang loudly: Latto. The “Georgia Peach” and “Big Mama” rapper may have been a last-minute replacement, but she commanded the stage as if she was always meant to be the main performer. She was preceded by a set from DJ Drama and performances by Jeremiah and 2 Chainz. However, while their sets were filled with high energy, anticipation for Latto’s performance crescendoed into impatience. When it hit 10:15 p.m. with no sign of Latto and 15 minutes left of the allotted time at the P&G stage, that impatience was evident when DJ Drama asked if he could play one more song. “No,” the crowd yelled. “Alright, dim the lights. Get ready for Big Latto,” he said. Photo by Kerri Phox/The Atlanta VoiceAbout 5 minutes later and with only two days of preparation, Latto burst onto the stage with her recent hit, “Georgia Peach,” a love letter to her roots. The performance came a day before the start of the North American tour for her third studio album “Sugar Honey Iced Tea.” Her appointment as the new headliner was a sort of redemption for her fans who criticized her lack of an Atlanta date on her tour, a glaring miss for her hometown. “Let’s treat this like we’re on tour,” she said to the crowd of hundreds who packed Central Park and waited over an hour to see her perform. In a cropped fur jacket and leather shorts, she performed hits such as “Brokey,” “Put it on Da Floor Again,” “Nasty,” and “Muwop,” the latter two of which were assists from Southern rappers Boosie and Gucci Mane early in her mainstream career. Her 20-minute performance was filled with slick and raunchy rap lyrics, dancing, and an attempt to pay the rent for someone celebrating their birthday (an attempt that failed after two people lied about their birth date). “What do I get for my birthday,” Latto sang. Unfortunately, those two OMF-goers did not find out, but the performance, while not without its problems, was a last-minute gift in and of itself.The post Latto shows why she’s a ‘Georgia Peach’ during One Musicfest performance appeared first on The Atlanta Voice.
