Who Is Flame C A Latto? Marrero, LA’s Best Kept Secret

The city of Marrero, Louisiana, located on the West Bank of New Orleans, has long been a hidden gem in Louisiana’s powerful music scene. While New Orleans gets much of the national attention, Marrero has consistently produced major talent that helped shape Southern hip-hop culture. And now, after years of quiet, it looks like the city might have another star ready to rise — Flame C A Latto.

Before we get to the new wave, let’s pay homage to Marrero’s legacy. The city has a strong musical lineage with artists who made noise far beyond Louisiana. It all started with MC Thick, who was signed to Atlantic Records and made his mark with the hometown anthem “MARRERO.” Then came Bustdown, who signed with Luke Skyywalker Recordsand gave the world hits like “Nasty Bch”** and “Put Your Ballys On.”

Next up was Choppa, who joined Master P’s No Limit Records and took over the early 2000s with his classic club anthem “Choppa Style.” Following that, Baby Boy Da Prince kept the city’s name alive with his mainstream smash “This Is The Way I Live.”

Now, nearly 20 years later, Marrero’s music scene is buzzing again — this time around a rising artist who’s earning respect for his raw talent and lyrical authenticity: Flame C A Latto.

Flame C A Latto represents the next generation of Louisiana hip-hop — sharp delivery, powerful storytelling, and a hunger that feels both fresh and rooted in tradition. He’s bringing that true Marrero energy back to the forefront, proving that the West Bank is still a force in Southern rap.

We believe Flame C A Latto has what it takes to be the next breakout star from Marrero. The city has a legacy of turning local legends into national names — and Flame might just be next in line.
