Lola Brooke Talks New Album, Motivation, Favorite Food, and More

People often think an explosive music career just happens, but that is not typical for most people in the music business. From time to time, things move pretty fast, but for the most part, they move slowly.

For Lola Brooke, things started slow, but once TikTok got its hands on her music, things started to blow up, and her talent and charisma helped Lola propel her to fame.

Brooke initially dropped her break-out single Don't Play With It in May 2021. The song, which was produced by Dizzy Banko and features additional vocals from Billy B, was considered by many to be a sleeper hit and started to blow up in 2022 when it took off after being shared widely on TikTok.

Now, with her debut album, Dennis Daughter on the streets, the You rhymer is poised for greatness in the music business.

Who Is Lola Brooke

Born and raised in Brooklyn's Bed-Stuy neighborhood as Shyniece Thomas, Lola Brooke knew from an early age that rap was for her. Growing up listening to the likes of 50 Cent, Meek Mill, and Lil Wayne helped to inspire her to pursue her career in the music biz.

As an established artist in the game, Lola plans to continue Brooklyn’s legacy of producing great music on her terms, sealing her spot among New York’s finest.
