Lola Brooke is all about love with On My Mind
LB comes through with the visual treatment to her newest single. With the hottest season of the year activated, it’s all about summer love in her music video.
Brooklyn's bold, eminent rapper Lola Brooke makes her highly anticipated return by releasing the official music video to her magnetic single "On My Mind." The LVTRKEVIN (G Herbo, Rich The Kid, Lady London) directed music video made its world broadcast premiere via BET Jams courtesy of Team 80 Productions as the efficacious rising artist steps thoroughly into the forefront.
"On My Mind" with its sizzling, sensual make, is brought to life with a cinematic visual offering that cements the internationally revered rap phenom's knack for grabbing viewer's attention with her irresistible demeanor and lethal lyrical cadence to match. The video finds Lola sharply painting a picture of a New York love story to complement the sultry track. The video features a cameo from rising, Philly-born rapper Lil Rekk.
The co-signs keep stacking up
With an entire summer planned with live shows and new music dropping, Brooke is doing her part to keep the big co-signs and salutes stacking up in her favor.
Most known for her ability to successfully unleash hard-hitting music offerings, "On My Mind" finds Lola turning a new page showing that there is not a genre of rap that defines her as she leads fans, critics, and spectators on the journey to her forthcoming project slated to be released later this year. The single, released earlier this year, received acclaim from Hot 97, This Is 50, and more as outlets such as One37pm went on record to state, "Lola Brooke is one of the hardest female rappers out of NYC right now.”
All Hip Hop poised the question of whether "Lola Brooke Is the Next Queen of New York"—setting the stage as to why she is flourishing to be just that and more. Dirty Glove Bastard stated, "Lola's voice, which was once considered nonexistent in her eyes, is an instrument. The result of a "well-rounded" artist whose sonics intertwine gritty storytelling with natural talent is what she represents. Her music is a rebellion against the idea of playing it safe, disconnecting from any assumptions that just don't fit into her archetype."
