When you talk about Brooklyn energy, that real, unfiltered, chest-out energy, Lola Brooke is the name that keeps coming up. The Bed-Stuy native, standing small in height but towering in presence, has built her name on raw delivery, sharp penmanship, and that signature Brooklyn bite that can’t be faked.
Ever since her breakout single “Don’t Play With It” flipped the internet upside down, Lola hasn’t eased up once. Now, after proving her lyrical stamina on her debut project Dennis’ Daughter in 2023, she’s back to remind the world that she’s not just part of the conversation, she is the conversation.
Lola kicked off her 2025 run with “Bon Appétit,” a track that’s all flavor and flex. She comes in swinging, flowing over bass that rumbles like the A-train, letting it be known she’s here to feast. It’s more than a single; it’s a power move. Every bar sounds like a warning: the Gator’s back in the water, and she’s hungry.
Then came “WASSUP WIT IT,” another reminder that Lola doesn’t miss. The record is pure attitude, all bark, bite, and Brooklyn. She spits bar after bar and is definitely reclaiming her territory. This one’s for the day-ones, the block, and anyone who ever doubted her grind.
A Celebration and a Statement from Lola Brooke
Her newest drop, “Get Money,” shows Lola leveling up. It’s less about proving herself and more about collecting what’s hers. Over slick production and a hustler’s hook, she flips the classic get-to-the-bag narrative into something personal, confident, unapologetic, and bossed-up.
It feels like the anthem of her new era: she’s no longer knocking on doors, she’s walking straight through them. It’s that same Brooklyn fire, just refined, focused, and entirely in control.
What’s Next Up for Lola Brooke? iight bet! — The Album

The album hits exactly how her rollout promised: a hard-hitting blend of street anthems, drill-driven bangers, and pure boss energy. But what truly sets Lola apart isn’t just the music; it’s the authenticity behind it. She’s Bed-Stuy to the bone, and every lyric, cadence, and flex carries the DNA of Brooklyn greats, delivered with her own razor-sharp twist.

Blige’s “No More Drama” on “PAIN” and the gritty storytelling on “It Was All a Dream” prove she’s more than consistent and that she delivers a full body of work every time.

She’s a must-listen artist, with every single, feature, and project demanding attention far beyond New York’s borders. The album leaves us in full Get Money mode, hungry for more and locked in on what Brooklyn’s Big Gator does next.
