Probably the album’s first and only true filler track, “Liquor” isn’t a bad song by any means — she’s doing some fun things with her flow in the verses — but Latto has already done the “midtempo sex jam” shtick better several times over on the album by this point.

After scoring a pair of Grammy nominations off the strength of her monster hit “Big Energy” and topping thefinds Latto working at the height of her powers — and setting the stage for the most exciting and impressive phase of her career yet.
“Good 2 U” is, in a way, the de facto title track, and it’s not just because it’s the first song that finds Latto rapping out the phrase “sugar honey iced tea.” Between the rattling production and the union of two generations of ATL superstars, “Good 2 U” feels like the essence of— a femme-forward ode to the beauty of Atlanta, from the music to the women to the laid-back but self-assured understanding that anyone who hails from the city is indeed the “sugar honey iced tea.
“Squirtin’ on a n—a, he drinkin’ my piss/ Freak b—h, make him swallow my spit,” she opens the trap banger. In case it wasn’t clear, “Big Mama” was just the warm up, “Shrimp & Grits” separates the real freaks from the fake ones. This is the first full-fledged sex jam on the album, and Latto handles it deftly; her tone drips with swagger and self-assuredness, she’s not convincing us of her prowess in the bedroom.
