The rapper plays to her strengths. Latto knows what works. She's at her best when making brash pop-rap. It's what led to her break out with "Big Energy" in 2021, and shot her back up the charts in 2023 with "Put It on da Floor Again." it's a formula that works, and the rapper wisely decided not to tinker when it came to her brand new album. Sugar Honey Ice Tea is every bit the smooth musical ride fans want. Latto is talking trash to her haters, and flexing her skills over sugary instrumentals. It's a little long in terms of runtime, but taken as songs, there's a lot of good material on here. The singles sound especially good in the context of the album.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
