Lola Brooke

Lola Brooke Was Celebrated For ‘Carrying Hip-Hop Into The Next 50 Years’ In Timberland’s Anniversary Campaign

by

Lil Kim told her audience at the Apollo Theater last month that she’s “so proud” of Lola Brooke before the two New York rappers performed Brooke’s “Don’t Play With It” together. Timberland has noticed Brooke’s potential, too.

The iconic brand shared its Hip-Hop Royalty Boot last week in honor of the 50th anniversaries of both hip-hop and Timberland. Brooke is the star of the accompanying 30-second campaign.

“The Original Timberland® Boot and Hip Hop were born in 1973 — that’s 50 years of an iconic combination,” Timberland captioned a joint Instagram post with Brooke. “Hip Hop has impacted our brand enormously over the past five decades, so we’re proud to present Brooklyn MC, @lola.brooke, who is one of the voices carrying Hip Hop into the next 50 years, in the Timberland® Hip Hop Royalty Boot.​”

The collection is available here.

In the video, Brooke narrates, “This is not a boot. This is how we thrive. It’s truth in living color, where the art comes alive. This is the cypher circling ’round the globe. Every gender, every nation adding to the flow. No limits to the vision. We defy definition. This is not a boot. It’s 50 years of ambition.”

Brooke discussed her lifelong ambition with Uproxx last month.

“Since a little girl, I’ve been saying that I wanted to be this entertainer,” the Brooklyn native said. “Sometimes you get discouraged because when you don’t receive the good feedback [that you wanted]. It just means that you got to keep working.”

She continued, “[There are] a lot of people that you going up against that want that same spotlight, so regardless if you’re not in competition with everybody else, the people will make you in competition with everybody else. So you got to find a way of being different so that you won’t get caught up in the drama and still win.”

Brooke is racking up more wins as the opener on A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie’s Me Vs. Myself Tour. See the remaining dates here.

[WATCH] Rapper Billy B Says She Saw Lola Brooke Following Lil Kim Performance Snub

This week, Rapper Billy B went up to DJ Self’s show on Power105.1 and discussed the recent drama behind the scenes with rapper Lola Brooke. The ‘Don’t Play With It’ feature MC shared that she wasn’t the only one wondering why Lola didn’t invite her to any of her NYC performances. Rightfully, the BKMC says that ‘Don’t Play With It’ is both of the artists biggest records and felt since they come up together on the same song, morally they should do certain things together. This all came after this weekend when Lola appeared at Lil Kim’s Apollo Theater Show in Harlem, NYC. Lola performed her own verse twice to a roaring crowd while many anticipated Billy B entering the stage.

After a back and forth with Lola’s best friend on social media, Billy revealed there was more to the story behind the scenes. Billy accused Lola’s management team of blocking promoters looking to book her as well. Lola’s friend defended her, reminding her it’s Lola’s song.

“ITS LOLA SONG! SHAWTY IS A FEATURE! SHE IS ENTITLED TO HER OPINION HOWEVER IF SHE FELT AWAY SHE COULD Have EASILY CALLED LOLA NOT GO TO THE INTERNET! TOPIC DONE!,” Rodriguez wrote.

Disappointed because Billy thought their relationship was deeper then what it was–it turned out to be strictly business.

Billy revealed that she recently saw Lola Brooke after the back and forth with Lola’s best friend Monàe Rodriguez.

“I seen her today but we didn’t have no conversation.” Billy shared

DJ Self interjected, “Why wouldn’t there be a conversation, that would be the first thing…”

“Listen man I don’t know.”

“Did yall shake hands and hug?” Self asked.

“No.”

Lola Brooke Will Join A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie’s ‘Me Vs The World’ International Tour As A Supporting Act

Lola Brooke is a just barely five-foot musical flame that has stolen the hearts of some of rap’s most influential acts, such as Lil Kim. The Brooklyn native has garnered the admiration of not only her peers like Coi Leray but acts like Cardi B. As the “Don’t Play With It” rapper continues to dominate across streaming platforms, she has set her eyes on the big stage.

With Brooke slated to make an appearance at several music festivals this summer, including Wireless Festival, she’ll have plenty of time to work out any kinks in her set now that she’ll be listed as the official opener for A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie’s upcoming Me vs. Myself Tour for both the North American and Europe wings.

This isn’t the first time the pair will share a stand with one another. A few weeks ago, the “Drowning” rapper brought Brooke out during his performance at Total Mortgage Arena. The following day, Brooke took to Instagram to share a clip of the surprise with the caption, “All these lights ain’t come overnight! Are you dumb?” responding to claims that she was an overnight success.

In the same post, Brooke went on to thank Boogie for his support, writing, “You a real one, A Boogie. Thank you,” closing with the Statue of Liberty emoji to show New York unity (even though the monument is actually physically located in New Jersey waters).

Flo Milli Taps Lola Brooke And Maiya The Don For “Conceited” Remix: Stream

by

Hot Girl Summer is still several months away, but that doesn’t mean we can’t start preparing with some female-first anthems in the winter. One of the artists who’s never been afraid to let her confidence shine on the track is Flo Milli – fans will know this from her viral “Conceited” track that landed last summer.

The catchy song is just one of 17 on the Alabama artist’s debut album, You Still Here, Ho?. It’s remained in rotation far past its original debut, and to ensure her work markedly sticks in the minds of listeners, the 23-year-old is back with a remix featuring Lola Brooke and Maiya The Don.

On Friday (January 27), the official remix of “Conceited” chiefly landed on DSPs, along with a cool new music video on YouTube. In a celebratory Instagram post, Milli warned listeners, “Pump Ya Breaks Bitch, ‘Cuz This Our Weekend!!!”

For Lola’s part, she came through with impressive bars on the second verse, following the original rap diva’s braggadocious intro.

“Pump your brakes, bitch, ’cause this how we came / How you feelin’ the day Lo? I’m far from conceited,” she begins. “Still a hood bitch, catchin’ dues out of Niemans / No discount for the LV snizzers.”

Afterward, we hear from Maiya, who also has some things to get off her chest. “Cocky ass bitch, I need ya neck to put my foot on / If I ain’t posted wouldn’t know what the put on / I pop shit just to show you who the biggest / I made a career out of shittin’ on bitches.”

Stream Flo Milli’s “Conceited” remix featuring Lola Brooke and Maiya The Don on Spotify or Apple Music below. Afterward, revisit the Alabama native’s debut album here.

Quotable Lyrics:

I huff then I puff then I blow shit down (Ooh)
Stand-up bitch, ho, go sit down (Damn)
Put your ear on my coochie, hear this ocean sound (Uh)
(I fuck once) Boy, you old d*ck now

Lil Kim Brought Out Lola Brooke At The Apollo Theater And Sang Her Praises: ‘I’m So Proud Of You’

Lola Brooke is set for a huge breakout in 2023 and now, she’s been anointed by the Queen Bee herself. The Brooklyn rapper — Brooke, not Kim — has the streets buzzing with her viral single “Don’t Play With It,” and many believe she’s poised to have a similar explosion in popularity to GloRilla or fellow drill rapper Ice Spice this year.

Last night at Harlem’s historical Apollo Theater, Lil Kim — who many still deem the foremother of the modern wave of female rap artists — kicked off the Harlem Festival Of Culture with The Jump Off With Lil Kim And Friends show. Apparently, one of those friends turned out to be Lola Brooke, who took the stage to an uproarious response from the crowd.

“I’m so proud of you, baby,” Kim told her as she emerged from backstage. “I got your f*ckin’ back!” Brooke followed up the exchange of mutual appreciation with an acapella rendition of her street hit, accompanied by what sounds very much like a full-crowd sing-along.

Judging from the reactions to her appearance at the Apollo, all Lola Brooke needs to complete her rap takeover is to remain consistent. She already has the ears and hearts of her hometown — and to quote one of her peers, with that, how can she lose?

Flo Milli Delivered On An Impeccable Remix Of ‘Conceited’ That Features Lola Brooke And Maiya The Don

by

Flo Milli returns with an impeccable remix of her song “Conceited” which now has new features from Lola Brooke and Maiya The Don.

“Milli got millis / ‘Cause Milli got hits,” she opens the song before breaking the beat to introduce the other girls.

“Remember that when you see this motherf*cking face,” Milli adds during the talking break. “Get used to both of these faces, b*tch / ‘Cause we ain’t going no motherf*cking where b*tch.”

The three women hype each other up in the studio, right as the song’s remix continues. Brooke’s verse brings the heavy-hitting vibes, and the red lighting in the video reflects that. Maiya The Don equally carries the track, giving her own spin on Milli’s lyrics.

Still, the updated remix version keeps the original hit’s chorus, as the girls repeat “Feeling myself / I’m conceited” — giving some seriously powerful energy in the process.

About two weeks ago, Brooke performed at Flo Milli’s Los Angeles concert, according to a TikTok video of her singing her own “Don’t Play With It.” Considering the duo now have also jumped on a track together, it seems their friendship is close in all aspects.
