Lola Brooke On My Mind
The visual for the tune was inspired by “DMX’s ‘How’s it Goin’ Down’ and ‘Can’t Leave Em Alone’ by Ciara and 50 Cent,” according to the Brooklyn emcee.
In recent years, there has been an influx of women in Rap asserting their claims in the genre, and there is another newcomer on the list aiming to break into the mainstream spotlight. Lola Brooke, a Brooklyn rapper, has made a reputation for herself in recent years by drawing inspiration from female emcees who came before her, and she recently revealed the LVTRKEVIN-directed music video for her new track, “On My Mind.” Brooke’s low-toned lines compliment the sensuous ambiance as she spits lyrics about her love affair with someone who holds her down like no other.
“Immediately after cutting ‘On My Mind,’ I knew I wanted a visual that captured a soft and sexy look to match the feel,” she told us exclusively. “Most know me for my aggressive manner… it’s the New York in me [laughs] but when I’m in love, I’m more of a lover. My inspiration for the video came from DMX’s ‘How’s it Goin’ Down’ and ‘Can’t Leave Em Alone’ by Ciara and 50 Cent. I wanted to take things back to that late ’90s, early ’00s kind of vibe.”
Keep a watch out for Brooke as she tackles the Rolling Loud New York stage this fall, and we’ll keep you updated on future releases.
