ABOUT LATTO:

Two-time Grammy nominee and 2023 BET “Best Female Hip-Hop Artist” winner Latto has been making a name for herself since she was eight years old and hasn’t stopped since. In the past few years since signing to RCA Records, the 25-year-old released her project Queen of Da Souf, her Gold album 777 and loose singles while continuing to elevate and garner accolade after accolade. When Latto dropped her critically acclaimed album 777 in March 2022 it debuted in the top 20 at #15 on the Billboard Hot 200 chart and top 10 at #6 on the Billboard Top Rap Albums chart. To support its release, she embarked on her first headlining tour, the 777 Tour, that hit major cities across the U.S. The impressive accolades she’s earned over the years throughout these releases include the following – she’s the first female rapper to ever have a #1 record at Pop, Rhythm and Urban Radio with the same single (“Big Energy”), the first solo female rapper from Atlanta to receive an RIAA-certification (both Gold and Platinum) and amassed her first solo  top five hit on the Billboard Hot 100 with RIAA-certified 3x Platinum single “Big Energy” (peak #3). She was also honored with the “Breakthrough Artist” award for 2022 Variety Hitmakers and the “Powerhouse Award” at Billboard’s 2023 Women in Music Awards. Latto also won the 2022 BET Award and 2022 People’s Choice Award for “Best New Artist” in addition to presenting at the 2022 AMAs where she was three-time nominee and the 2022 VMAs where she was a four-time nominee. Latto’s ability to entertain is never questioned, she’s no stranger to putting on a great show. She’s performed on various late night television shows and televised award shows as well including the 2022 Billboard Music Awards, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Late Night with Seth Meyers, 2022 + 2023 BET Awards and more.

Following her 777 album, she also released multiple singles, one being the track “PUSSY,” a reply to the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Shortly after her own tour ended, Latto hit the road again, this time being a guest on Lizzo’s Special Tour. To ring in 2023, Latto performed at Miley's New Years Eve Party and then attended the 2023 Grammy Awards where she was nominated for “Best New Artist” and “Best Melodic Rap Performance” (the latter for the track “Big Energy (Live)”). That same weekend she performed at Clive Davis’ iconic pre-Grammy Gala and was a part of his 2023 class. For the first time last year, Latto went overseas performing in various cities such as London, Paris and Gdynia (Poland). She also ran the U.S. festival circuit, one of the festivals being Coachella where she debuted her hit Platinum single “Put It On Da Floor Again” – the remix featuring Cardi B – which landed in the top 10 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. She’s recently collaborated with BTS star Jung Kook on his single “Seven” (went #1 on Billboard Hot 100 chart and was #1 on Billboard’s Global chart for six weeks straight) and went on to win an MTV VMA award for “Song of the Summer” for her collaboration. Other recent collaborators include Davido, Sexyy Red, Young Nudy, BabyDrill, Luh Tyler and more. Outside of music, the Atlanta-based rapper loves to experiment in the fashion space. She attended her first Milan Fashion Week and attended various shows including Roberto Cavalli, Diesel and GCDS. She’s graced major covers – Cosmopolitan, Rolling Stone, XXL, etc. – the past few years showing off her style. Latto is also using her platform to support her native town community in many ways, one being her foundation Win Some Give Some, that just hosted it’s third annual “Christmas In Clayco” event to help families in need during the holidays. The chart-topping global rapper and 2023 Forbes “30 Under 30” honoree is embracing this new phase in her career – manifesting good fortune and hitting bar after bar with witty, captivating lyrics, but staying true to herself and her Clayton County roots. Big Latto’s ‘got that real big energy’ and shows no signs of stopping.

Mariah The Scientist: Of course the 'To Be Eaten Alive' world tour is happening

Ready to see your favorite R&B crooner take over in-person? Say less. Music star Mariah The Scientist is gearing up to tour the globe with a full-fledged To Be Eaten Alive tour slated to go down this winter.

Ready to see your favorite R&B crooner take over in-person? Say less. Music star Mariah The Scientist is gearing up to tour the globe with a full-fledged To Be Eaten Alive tour slated to go down this winter.

Mariah The Scientist’s ‘To Be Eaten Alive’ tour is going down in ‘24

While you’ll have to stay put until February to see this action go down, tickets become available later this week for all you loyal day ones.

Emerging as one of the culture’s hottest rising stars, Mariah The Scientist will embark on an extensive Worldwide tour in 2024. She will visit over 40 cities in support of her unanimously acclaimed new album, To Be Eaten Alive, out now via Epic Records. Listen HERE

Tickets go on-sale December 1 at 10am local time HERE. 

This headline run kicks off on February 1 in Honolulu, HI at The Republik and visits major markets such as London, Paris, Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago, Boston, Washington D.C., and Brooklyn, before concluding nearly three months later on May 3 at Tabernacle in Atlanta, GA. It promises to be her biggest tour to date as she brings To Be Eaten Alive to life on stage. 

Beyond piling up millions of streams, the album earned widespread critical acclaim. Right out of the gate, HYPEBEAST raved, “Mariah’s experimentation with R&B, songwriting and composition has never failed to impress,” and VIBE proclaimed, “Her Scorpio nature dominates the project as she merges strength with emotional vulnerability.” Complex applauded how the album “delves into a spectrum of emotions and experiences, emphasizing Mariah the Scientist’s artistic versatility.”

Ahead of the release of her new album, Mariah broke down the metaphoric nature of its title. “As for the venomous scorpion,” she says, paying homage to her astrological sign, “To Be Eaten Alive is to kill.” Over the course of 10 tracks and a succinct runtime of 30 minutes, Mariah delivers on that principle, exuding strength derived from emotional vulnerability with every pulsating croon and note, weaving personal tales over mellifluous instrumentals inspired by a plethora of genres, including R&B, Blues, Hip Hop & New Wave. 

To Be Eaten Alive’s lead single, “From A Woman,” is indicative of this effort. Operating at a pace that doubles that of her previous singles based on first-week returns, “From A Woman” has firmly entrenched Mariah as a force within the 2020s alt-R&B movement, and provides a glimpse of the starpower she possesses. Uproxx notes Mariah’s ability to err on the intimate side, writing that the single is “a romantic jam in every sense of the word,” and Mariah instantly became a hot topic across streaming services, as the album itself hit #1 on the Apple R&B chart before it even released, while her lead single success allowed for Mariah to grace the covers of renowned playlists at Spotify (R&B Weekly), Apple Music (R&B Now, #OnRepeat) and Amazon Music (My Soundtrack, Fresh R&B, Endless Vibes).  

Elsewhere on the album, Mariah doubles down on her strength but also reminds her audience of her range. The tempo quickens when she locks in with Kaytranada for “Out of Luck,” and an acoustic-only outro with Young Thug, “Ride,” enhances the notion that while R&B is part of what drives Mariah The Scientist, it hardly defines her. “I told somebody I wanted to make a new genre,” she tells Complex. “And I wanted to call it A&B, as in Alternative and Blues.”

Prior to its release, the anticipation for the ‘Alt-Blues’ star was prevalent. The reveal of her scorpion-themed artwork was ‘liked’ nearly a quarter-million times on Instagram. To Be Eaten Alive peaked as high as no. 2 on Apple Music’s Global Weekly Pre-Adds chart, despite Mariah leading with just one single—a sign that her audience has bought into her vision holistically.

Mariah The Scientist signed a new deal with Epic Records in 2023 after four years of development on the major label and independent circuit. Her first two studio albums, Master & Ry Ry World, established her as an impactful newcomer with her uniquely thoughtful and emotional ballads and penchant for nostalgic soundscapes. “Mariah is a dynamic creative force with a clear vision for her music and the experience surrounding it,” says Ezekiel Lewis, Epic Records President.

Need more details about the album? Want to geek out about Mariah?

Atlanta singer-songwriter Mariah The Scientist reveals the official artwork to her highly anticipated new album ‘To Be Eaten Alive’ today. This unveiling comes off the heels of the release of her new single and music video, “From A Woman,” and the pre-order of the album to be released on October 27.

R&B singer-songwriter Mariah The Scientist hails from Atlanta, GA, and is releasing her first studio album on Epic Records, To Be Eaten Alive, in October. Her core following, cultivated through viscous emotional expression on her first three projects—Master, Ry Ry World, and The Intermission—continues to grow and helps position her as one of R&B’s brightest young stars. Mariah’s musical curiosity was born in childhood, exposed to a variety of musical acts by her father. “Coldplay comes [to Atlanta], someone that he was definitely playing for me as a child, and then I open for them,” she recalls. From there, Mariah’s journey took her to NYC via St. John’s University, where she studied biology. Though she halted her scholastic pursuit to chase her dreams as an entertainer, the “Scientist” moniker stuck with her. That said, it’s Mariah’s art that makes her unique. 

The vulnerable, raw expression that composes much of Mariah The Scientist’s catalog distinguishes her from much of today’s mainstream landscape, something she’s keen on continuing even as her profile grows. From performances at Coachella and Pitchfork Music Festival to collaborations beside Lil Baby, Youngboy Never Broke Again, Chris Brown, A Boogie and Young Thug, there’s no debating that Mariah is worthy of the spotlight. Still, she refuses to take the opportunity to genuinely connect with her audience for granted. “I don't think that creating art should be super forced. When you try to force art, you don't like it. At least the creator winds up not liking it.. And a lot of times, people don't realize that.”
