Atlanta, GA/August 29, 2024 – Trap Music Museum (TMM) celebrated its annual “Trapper of The Year” event with a grand unveiling and an evening filled with excitement, recognizing the achievements of rap sensation Latto. The event, which drew over 500 guests, marked one of the most memorable nights in TMM history.

This year’s celebration was powered by the dynamic energy of Revolt, the official media partner for the evening. The red carpet was a star-studded affair, with renowned hosts Kay and Trap Fairy Princess guiding the way. Atlanta’s top personality, Fly Guy DC, kept the momentum going as the evening’s main host, while DJ AD and DJ Smartt delivered non-stop vibes with their curated sets.

Adding to the star power of the night, industry heavyweights and celebrities including Fat Joe, Young Dro, comedian Karlous Miller, and rap artists Big Boss Vette, Kamillion, Seddy Hendrinx and Quay Global were in attendance, showing their support for Latto and the Trap Music Museum.

Comedian Navv Greene brought an additional layer of entertainment by hosting the “Lil Karaoke” segment, where attendees took to the stage to perform some of Latto’s biggest hits. The night also featured expertly crafted cocktails by Hennessy, Mercer + Prince, and Volcan Tequila, each named after Latto’s most iconic tracks, alongside complimentary hot wings provided by Wingnuts—a true homage to Atlanta’s vibrant food culture.

The installation also includes several breathtaking portraits, each meticulously crafted by talented artists who have poured their passion into this project.
