Atlanta-bred Hip Hop star Alyssa “Latto” Stephens is the latest recording artist to enter the media space.
This week, Latto announced she will begin hosting Apple Music 1’s 777 Radio show. The 777 album creator tapped her “For the Night” collaborator Chlöe Bailey for the first episode.
“I’m going to keep it very personal and play what I actually listen to,” said Latto about 777 Radio. “I’m going to highlight new artists that I feel like the world needs to hear, artists that I think deserve more spotlight.
The 2023 Billboard Women In Music Award’s Powerhouse Award winner continued, “I listen to a lot of female rap, so definitely supporting the girls, and definitely a lot of Southern music.”
