Artist To Watch: Lola Brooke

Tap in with Lola Brooke.

As the Brooklyn rap scene grows, more artists are finding their footing in the game and that includes Lola Brooke. The NYC native has been rapping for years now and her hard work is beginning to pay off. With a cosign from Meek Mill, her takeover is right on the horizon.

Lola Brooke does not shy away from dark, aggressive beats and her hard hitting lyricism compliments this nicely. She uses her voice as a weapon and her delivery is deadly. With influences from trap and drill as well as classic hip hop, the artist creates a style that is uniquely her own. 

Although she only has a handful of singles and a few notable features out now, I have no doubt that Lola Brooke’s debut album will be a significant release for Brooklyn. Check out the visual for her most recent single “Back to Business” here and give her a follow on Instagram.

New Music: Your Old Droog – “Unlimited MetroCard” (Prod. Statik Selektah)

9 years ago view-show 424,908
Despite residing from essentially the same place (Coney Island, Brooklyn) and sharing virtually the same exact cultural background (Ukrainian-American) I never really messed with rising rapper Your Old Droog all that much. I mean, in the interest of full disclosure and not frontin', I think dude is super talented and a great altogether MC but frankly I'm not "feeling" it, you know? I always find the beats to be dated and seriously lackluster and I can never quite relate to Your Old Droog. Like, who is Droog? But this track right here, with its super kitschy and ultra NYC-indebted song title, is right up my alley, fam. Droog delivers the goods with "Unlimited MetroCard" which is produced by the always reliable Statik Selektah. Check out "Unlimitated MetroCard" after the jump and peep Statik's new album Lucky 7 dropping this July.
