Rapper Lola Brooke grew up in Brooklyn, and even without the countless videos of her riding a four-wheeler through her borough, her gruff tone and accent are a dead giveaway for her roots. On “Here I Come,” her palliative bars lull you into a false sense of security, until you realize she means business: “Do something to make me feel good,” she commands, over arpeggiated synths. Her aura is intimidating; like a black widow, she shows that she’ll seduce and devour to get to the top.
With artists releasing songs at a fast and furious pace, it’s difficult for the average hip-hop head to keep track of it all—no matter how tapped in they are. That’s why we created The Ones, a daily post to highlight the song you need to hear.
