Amidst the sea of synonymous newcomers, Lola Brooke distinguishes out as she establishes herself in the hip-hop community. She has the self-awareness to acknowledge that she is still coming into her own as a young lady and the confidence to allow that aspect of self-discovery to reflect in her songs.
In her songs, she often navigates various themes, including the challenges of adolescent life. She quickly made a name for herself on New York’s unforgiving freestyle circuit, drawing the attention of producer Reefa Slater, who signed her to his newly formed Team 80 imprint in 2016.
Lola Brooke has committed to music showcasing her versatility and creativity when the beat drops. Her consistent releases and charismatic demeanour helped her to grow a devoted fanbase, which reflects in her amassing over a million streams across 91 countries on Spotify alone. She has also gained the attention of some of the music OGs, including Snoop Dog and Foxy Brown.
