Background
In 2019, Mulatto broke through with her single "B*tch from da Souf" and consequently went on to sign a record deal with RCA Records in early 2020. The single peaked at number 95 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart and was certified Gold by the RIAA in the United States. The song would later receive a remix featuring rappers Saweetie and Trina. The remix was featured on both her 2019 Hit the Latto EP as well as Queen of Da Souf. A day prior to the album's announcement, it was revealed that Mulatto would be included on XXL's 2020 Freshman Class.[4] On August 12, 2020, Mulatto went on her social media accounts to announce the release of Queen of Da Souf and revealed the cover art alongside the release date.[5] Three days later, Mulatto revealed the track listing for the album, but replaced all unknown guest appearances with emojis, opting for her fans to guess the features.[6] Mulatto would reveal the features on August 19, which included the rapper duo City Girls and Georgian rapper 21 Savage.[7]
