Brooklyn’s Lola Brooke is having an explosive 2023, and the love from her city just keeps pouring in from all angles.
Just some days ago, Lola Brooke performed alongside Lil Kim at the Apollo Theater in Harlem. Now, she’s been invited by Bronx rapper A Boogie wit da Hoodie to open for his international tour.
Lola Links With A Boogie
The “Me vs Myself Tour” begins Feb 7 in Denver and includes stops like Washington, Toronto, and Oakland. The tour wraps up Mar 11 at the Main Street Armory in Rochester, New York.
Following the North American portion of the “Me vs Myself Tour”, Lola and A Boogie will visit the UK starting Mar 22 at O2 Victoria Warehouse in Manchester, England.
A Boogie is one of the most prolific rappers to come out of New York in the past decade. His latest album Me vs Myself had over 50,000 units sold in its first week, becoming his fourth top entry on the Billboard 200 chart. The LP, released in early December, went toe to toe with SZA’s massively successful project SOS and held its own despite the years of hype preceding her project. With features on the album like G Herbo, Lil Durk, and Roddy Rich, A Boogie had plenty of artists to consider to accompany him on his tour. Of course, the solidarity of two New York artists headlining together can’t be ignored.
A Career in the Making
‘Don’t Play With it’ featuring Billy B is the track that shot Lola to stardom. The song quickly gained traction on TikTok at the tail end of last year, then spread across social media like wildfire. Lola subsequently capitalized on that hype by collaborating with Flo Milli and Maiya the Don on the ‘Conceited’ remix. She then continued the theme of female rapper empowerment even further. On Saturday, Lola performed with fellow Brooklyn MC Lil Kim at the legendary Apollo theater. In celebration of the Harlem Festival Of Culture The Jump Off , Lola received her biggest co-sign yet from the Queen Bee herself.
In between all of that, Lola dropped a follow-up single titled ‘Here I Come’. The track is already on its way to seeing similar success. The song has over 700,000 views on YouTube, and 4,300 TikToks using the sound.
With Lola, Ice Spice, and Maiya the Don, the recent boom in New York’s female talent is growing every day.
