She's been here before. She's been waiting. and the world is just now catching up

1:04

2:14
It's like, say you see this guy on the wall right there pointing at you, the white guy
2:18
Yes. Eminem? Uh-huh. When I first met him, I met him at a place where he was similar to where you are right now
2:25
We knew the dude had talent, but the world didn't know yet. And then the world started finding out
2:30
I get nervous. It's a good nervous because I know I'm going to be a part of your journey
2:35
Yes. You know what I mean? And I love that. And I love that, too. So welcome to the show
2:39
Welcome to Sway in the Morning, Lola Brooke. Thank you. Welcome. Here I come
2:44
Here I come. Here I come. Here I come. Hey, what you saying that
2:50
Actually, hold on, man. we ain't even gonna start with the interview uh still ain't got a hundred bands still ain't got
3:00
a hundred bands still gonna wrap some circles around these s about the running man
3:04
es uh es i don't understand you can say it es i don't understand what does that
3:12
mean it's like it's basically like it's like i don't understand why you coming for me that's not
3:18
even your body like what's up with you like you know what's up with me so why are you even trying
3:22
me i'm not the one to be played with come on remember yeah you find that as you got more
3:28
popular more people tested you yeah like come on now and i'm a vibrant person like i don't walk in
3:34
a room and just be mean and grilling people i'm i love i love love so then you know the music
3:41
the music starts to confuse people of who i am and they don't know how to really approach me
3:47
so it'd be like uh-uh uh-uh uh-uh uh-uh they misinterpret how what are they how do they how does the music make them think you are and
3:56
how is it different from who you actually are they make it seem like i'm such a a monster i'm a gator
4:02
but i ain't a monster like like and then when they get around me they like oh my gosh she's so cool
4:09
and yeah i'm gonna always be cool i'm just letting you know it can't get like that yeah if you give
4:15
me the choice. I feel like people from Brooklyn get excited when it's time
4:19
to say it can't get like that. Yeah, it can't get like that. But I don't want
4:23
it to be that way. But I'm going to let you know. Look at how you smile every time
4:29
you say, but I'm going to let you know. Heather, this is a bully rapper right here
4:33
I love it. I'm going to let you know. Sadie. How did you grow up? What was your
4:38
home? What was your family life like? How did you arrive to this place
4:43
I'm the only child. I grew up in a home with a single parent, my mom, and watching her just basically bust her ass every day by herself
4:59
So that's what I know, independency, and that's all I know. So a lot of times when she was at work, you have the freedom to be in the neighborhood
5:08
Right, yeah. Like the neighborhood was basically my home because it was like my mom wasn't home
5:12
I didn't have nobody to really speak to. I don't have no siblings. I had to figure it out
5:19
Mike Muse, you're an only child. No. No, no, no. You're not
5:22
You're the youngest of four. I'm the youngest of four. But it feel like. You act like it. So I got confused, my bad
5:29
I think like you said, because for me, Lola, it's a gap between me and my other siblings
5:33
I'm like the oops baby. Okay. So there's about like nine to eight years difference before the next one is ahead of me
5:39
So yeah, I always say I'm kind of the only child raised in a family of siblings, though, so I get it
5:44
But your energy, though, fills a room. Sway, I was just telling you, when she walked in, I had the chance to see her at the Brooklyn Nets game
5:52
And the way she ran out onto the floor and just got it rocking immediately
5:59
And the energy of the arena just lit up everybody. Sway, that's your second home
6:04
Everybody rushed down to the front with the cameras out and the pictures and was rapping word for word with all your music
6:12
I was super excited to know you were coming in here today so you could bring in all that energy
6:17
And you did not disappoint when you walked in that door. I came in the same way, right
6:22
I have to. I have no choice. I finally made it. So how were you in the neighborhood, as you're talking about the block, in terms of meeting people
6:30
Were you the friendly one on the block? Were you the protective one on the block
6:35
What was your vibe like? I was all in one. I was like the cereal package, the family pack with roasted flakes, the pops, and what else
6:47
Apple Jacks? Yeah, the Apple Jacks. Two-paned sandal fruit loose. Yeah, that was me
6:52
Whatever you gave me is whatever you was going to get, basically
6:57
I fed off people's energy. Whatever energy I felt, I was going to give it back
7:04
You petite. You know, a lot of times people assume that someone who's smaller got that Napoleon complex
7:10
Yeah, you know, that's the first thing they say. Like, you just an angry little person. Uh-huh
7:15
It is what it is then. It is what it is. I switch it up though. Uh-huh. Right? Yeah
7:23
Nah, you're amazing. Nah I give her a round of applause Lola Brooke And I tell you one of the things I appreciate about you is I could tell I saw a few of these freestyles you put out there And I was really blown away you know by
7:35
And then I saw you do one with Flex. That's my brother. And I was like, wow, this young lady is incredible
7:42
But me, I'm a hip hop dude to the core. And I start really yzing your songs and your music
7:49
At what point did you decide you wanted to be a rapper? I came out the womb
7:55
wanting to be a rapper but actually yeah I told my grandmother do something to make me feel good
7:59
I said ma I got you that's why I said in the freestyle
8:03
I said came out face down and still had the faith in me like
8:08
we all come out face down like you know we already let down so
8:13
when you get out you make sure you let up but my grandmother even
8:21
My grandmother told me that when I was about seven, maybe six, I said, Grandma, I'm going to be a rapper
8:26
But I don't remember telling her that. But I do remember feeling that way
8:30
But I know I said it out loud. So it's been it's just always been in me for sure
8:34
For a very long time. What was her first break, would you say? I mean, 2017 was like the real
8:47
All right, let's get it. Let's go. even if the world didn't see it to me i felt like this is it this is this is gonna start start my
8:54
journey so that's all that matters is how i felt lola brooke here 888-742-3345 but lola this is
9:03
the start of the new year so it's our year everyone has goals everybody had these manifestations right
9:06
so for you to 8-7 tell your grandmother you want to be a rapper you manifested it like so how does
9:12
that work i'm always curious about how do people get here right like how do people sit in this chair
9:16
right so like did you shop a demo with someone discovering on youtube were you doing something
9:21
on tiktok on instagram and somebody found you how did that manifestation turns into reality to get
9:27
you here because everyone says they want to be a rapper at the age of seven eight nine ten but
9:31
where do they make it up here to sway in the morning in this chair consistency confidence
9:36
hard work loyalty to your team as well because you can't get up here by yourself yeah for sure
9:42
but you got discovered like where like how okay so um with uh independent label as well as team 80
9:51
so shout out to team 80 shout out to team 80 so i had a teammate there's a teammate his name is
9:57
bleasy he's also an artist as well he hit me up and said hey i want you to do a feature for me or
10:03
whatever at the time i just i was rapping everybody knew i was rapping but i wasn't really taking it
10:07
serious i'm like all right cool i get there i'm ready to do the feature i see so much people in
10:12
the room i see uncle mano in there it's like a lot of people around so i finished the um the um
10:17
feature he like yo i want you to meet somebody you want me to meet 80 so i'm like all right cool like
10:23
i didn't know why but i'm like okay what's up guys but little did i know he wanted me to see like
10:29
yo you could really rap like come around and you might fall in love with it and really take it
10:35
serious and that's what ended up happening i was around him for a while seeing how the process was
10:40
of recording, going to radio stations, doing music videos, just bonding as artists
10:48
And then I was like, yo, I'm ready to get down. I was Team 80. Team 80, there you go, Lola Brooke
10:54
That's pretty interesting. Now, while this was happening, you know, because you still ain't got 100 bands
11:00
Still ain't got 100 bands. Yo, that voice. Still ain't got 100 bands
11:05
I mean, how was you making an income during that time? Because a lot of times folks don't realize you still got to work while you're trying to get this work
11:13
How was you doing that? It's a challenge because I was working. I was a residential aide at a shelter, a men's shelter in Queens
11:19
Wow. And. Did expect that coming. I didn't see that. Yeah, so my mom actually got me the job too
11:26
That's crazy. Shout out to my mom. But I remember just going to work
11:31
It was like 8 to 4. I was going to work every day, leaving, going straight to the studio
11:37
I was leaving studio at like 6 a.m. Going straight home. Not going to sleep
11:43
Showering. Going back to work. It was draining. I wasn't really focused on my music because I kept looking at the time
11:49
All right. It's 3 in the morning. All right. I got to. All right. I could do like 5, 5 o'clock
11:54
All right. I could put you to 6. And it was messing with my creativity. So I was explaining it to my mom
11:59
I was like, yo, I don't know if I could keep doing it like this. Like, I'm not going to get nowhere doing it like this
12:04
She was like, yo, if you need to leave, just leave. I'm like huh
12:08
I talked about it with my team they was like yo look listen
12:12
if you're really serious leave we got you my mom said she got me and I left
12:17
but I won't encourage that to every artist because that does not work
12:21
for every artist I really had to stay down until I came up and not complain because
12:26
I made this decision regardless of anybody behind me saying they got me
12:30
I made the final decision this is what I wanted so it got rough
12:34
but I just knew one day I sit here in this chair
12:38
There you go. Come on, man. Lola Brooke. Come on, man. I love this
12:44
This is why I'm nervous. I got chills. This is what the culture
12:48
is at its best. Who are some of the... 2017, Rest in Power, The Pop Smoke
12:56
Favio, PMB, but I'm thinking take off. Where's that voice coming from
13:06
Oh, Scram. Oh, okay. I'm like, who was saying that? It's Scram Jones, by the way, Lola Brooke
13:11
Well, what I'm talking about, I'm going to stick to Brooklyn rappers. You know, Bobby Smurder and all these guys
13:16
Who was the... Young Devin, you know. I love Young Devin. Y'all ever collaborate
13:21
Yeah, we're cool. We meet her sisters. Yeah. Damn, that makes sense
13:27
It's her face she made. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm like You ain't know that
13:33
Oh yeah Cause young Devin's A fire spitter too Fire is Fire is Right Right
13:38
Who were those first Brooklyn Babs Shout out to Brooklyn Babs Who were those first
13:43
Artists to embrace you What did they say Who came up to you And said
13:47
Hey yo Well actually The ones that you just named Me and Devin
13:54
Clicked from 2017 Like we both It was a thing where it was a list of, I don't know what the list really said
14:07
It was like top ten or whatever Brooklyn artists or something like that
14:11
And a lot of people were saying me and her name. Like, why they not on the list? And then me and her just came together and was like, yo, we going to work
14:17
And this ain't for us to prove that we the top two in here
14:21
But this is just to prove, like, you made a mistake, but you going to see later
14:25
You find that, I know it's been that age old story when it comes to the music business, you know, how young women artists are treated differently from men
14:36
Yes. What have you experienced? What is your take on that? It's just a lot of people are very opinionated, like unnecessary, unnecessary opinions
14:50
like it could be the way a female walk the way she talk the way she carry herself just the littlest things and it be like but that who she is So it either you embrace it and try to help that young lady enhance it or just don even be involved with it at all
15:07
Like it is a saying, if you don't have nothing nice to say, don't say it at all. If it ain't your vibe, go to something that's your vibe because you're going to mislead that person just because you don't understand how to lead them
15:18
So that's how I look at it. Yeah. I see our sister Lizzo, who first big radio interview happened in that chair, too, who's also very outspoken about the criticism that women receive
15:31
Do you look at people like Lizzo and others, you know, as inspiration
15:35
Yeah, because they they got the I don't give a attitude
15:40
And I love that to confidence. Supreme confidence is everything. It don't matter what somebody say to you when you wake up, you're the only person that's going to look in that mirror
15:48
first tape. When I listen to your music, that's what I hear
15:52
is that supreme confidence. You know, and that empowerment. You know, and
15:58
I can't think of the line about you think I'm going to give somebody some nookie
16:02
for free. What's the line? I ain't giving out no nanny to no s just for fun
16:06
Are you dumb? Yeah. That line, Heather. That part. I love your hooks. Yummy, yummy
16:16
and what is yummy yummy exactly it's really dummy ummy ummy ummy it's like it's like three times
16:24
like dummy dummy but three times that dummy yummy yummy that mean you that dumb that's like that's
16:31
like going crazy that's like going crash dummy i mean i ain't gonna crash out but you know so in
16:37
the bay where i'm from i'm from oakland lola brook like brooklyn uh we get dumb we say we going dumb
16:43
It's the same definition? It's the same definition, like going dumb, going stupid
16:48
What's some other Brooklyn slang you could hit me to? The Gleazy? The Gleazy
16:54
Gleazy? But I don't really think that's New York slang, honestly. I think that came from, I don't want to mess that up
17:01
It came from somewhere else. But in Brooklyn, we'd be like, it's brick dick outside
17:08
They don't get that, it's brick ass. you're I deadass though worth a mother
17:15
but I be like worth a mommy that's a me thing I be like worth a mommy
17:19
I don't know it's a lot dick outside yeah yo I was just having
17:28
a conversation over the holidays we were just talking about how difficult the English language is to learn
17:32
it is one of the most difficult languages to learn and this is proof right here
17:36
of why the English language is so hard because there's so many definitions is like dumb for you
17:40
is different sway in the bay. Dumb is different than Brooklyn. Dumb is just a different definition
17:45
I think this language is something special. You have a command of it. But we do be like
17:49
it's dumb brick outside. Like we still say that too though. Like OD
17:56
Like OD. Dumb means, I don't know, it can mean so many things
18:01
Like dumb can mean 10 different things. Yeah, a lot of things. Okay, okay. Learn the language
18:06
with Lola Brooks. We gotta get the book going. Rosetta Stone. All right
18:10
I want to do a couple of things. Congratulations. Thank you. Because when you ran out on that stage and before you said don't play with it, you said I finally made it
18:23
Something about that just really resonated with me. I think with everyone, I think people all in your corner, you sat in this chair today and said I made it
18:32
Yeah, I made it to this chair. Yeah. What was the dream initially? the dream was to just be heard now i'm being heard and i'm definitely being heard on sway
18:45
come on you better come on you gotta let them know i find it interesting because you had a lot
18:51
of people who were at at some point you had a lot of labels that were coming at you right
18:56
and so you got to make a decision you had to make a decision what did you base this before we talk
19:01
about the one you chose but what did you base it on what were you looking from looking for from a
19:05
label um just unity love loyalty they didn't want to change anything about me they loved everything
19:14
about me they didn't see they didn't see the people that made me feel like my flaws was a
19:19
problem they made it seem like it was it was the icing on the cake like you're a star they made me
19:28
feel like a star like a true artist and that's all i needed to know because everybody always
19:34
wanted to change something about me really like what what is it to change about you i was thinking
19:40
that they'd be like you're too aggressive um you need to dim down your lyrics um you're too hard
19:49
um you're not you don't talk about sex enough just little things like that somebody must not
19:57
been listening to your music but see that's the thing because i said i was like i don't talk about
20:02
it. I just talk about it how I want to talk about it. Wait till you hear the opening
20:09
line of her new song, Relax, you'll see what we're talking about. That was a conversation we were
20:14
talking about earlier about women and hip-hop. The fact that they said you didn't talk about sex
20:18
enough, that actually bothered me to hear that. How do you feel about that
20:22
when it comes to sexualization of women and hip-hop? Because some say that it's the women's
20:26
choice to be sexual, and then others would say that it's the labels who are forcing women
20:30
to be sexual. where do you stand on that I feel how I feel one day I wake up and I'm like
20:38
f s and then next day I wake up and I'll be like I love them so like it depends on how I feel
20:47
I'm an artist I express myself this is why I'm even rapping to express myself so let me just do me
20:53
I love it um so now you gotta you got a challenge though now Lola Brooke like you know it's
21:00
you know guys ain't go uh i'm assuming i don't know if you date men or women i'm just saying
21:05
but people you date let's just say that um they gotta come to you a certain way after listening
21:12
to these songs right so is it hard for you to find relationships and keep them
21:17
see it's not it's hard to find a relationships but it ain't hard to keep
21:25
for me. Okay. You know what I'm saying? I do my thing. Like
21:29
I'm very loving. You know, I know how to love a man. I really do know how to love a man though
21:33
But it's just that I need to know if they can love me. So
21:38
once I know that they can love me the right way, then, oh that
21:42
huh, huh, huh, they go out the window. They go that, uh
21:47
uh, uh, The right way. I like that. What's the right way to love Lola Brooke
21:51
The right way to love Lola Brooke is to protect me, Make sure that I feel secure
21:57
Make sure that you feed my mom mentally. Make sure that you, like, add on
22:03
You're a bonus, you know. Whatever I'm doing, you support it. And then if it's something that you feel like I need to work on, don't be scared to tell me
22:09
Let's figure it out. Okay, I like that Lola Brooke, man. What kind of guys are you into

There you go. You study the greats, huh? For sure. Like, who do you consider the greats
25:57
Who have you studied? DMX. Ooh. Damn. 50, Wayne, Missy, Michael Jackson
26:07
Okay. Meek Mills, that's my favorite artist. Fox, Kim, even Nicki. Like, I went back, even if it's things that I missed out on
26:19
or I felt like I probably was too young to understand, me as an artist now, I went back to study the greats
26:26
to understand Jay-Z for sure. Because he's not just an artist, he's a businessman
26:30
man so yeah what do you study do you study song structure do you study lyrical do you study
26:36
patterns words everything lifestyle um the way they approach situations and songs as well um

27:05
Congratulations to you and Team Eddie Productions for signing this collaborative deal with Arista Records
27:12
the legendary Arista Records. Word. And I can tell you, I got a lot of friends that work for Arista
27:18
and you're working with the best in the business. I don't owe nobody nothing
27:24
So when I say this, I mean it. And when I think about you at this stage in your career, I remember when Drake and OVO came out and Drake was an artist
27:36
And even though he signed with Young Money, he had OVO. You know, Wayne was an artist and he created Young Money
27:42
I think one of the first J. Cole with Dreamville Meek with Dream Chases
27:47
Right. One of the first people we ever saw do this, Heather, you can attest to this
27:51
Queen Latifah. Right. and she had Flavor Unit Records, right, in entertainment
27:57
And we haven't seen a whole lot of women do it like the guys
28:02
What is your plan? Okay, so I'm going to be all the way honest with you
28:10
Me seeing my team handle certain situations with other artists made me scared because I'm like, damn, I don't know why I do it
28:23
Like, I know I'm always make sure I show up. Like, if my team get down and dirty for me, I'm going to make sure I clean up
28:32
But it is a process. Like, you really have to be mentally ready for it. And that's like, an artist is like a kid, a child
28:39
I'm like, if you ain't ready for that, that ain't the way to go. But now I understand the business a little bit more
28:45
And I feel like I could have a little bit more control as well as the artist as well
28:50
And we combine and build on something great. I like it, Lola Brooke
28:55
We got knowledge on the line from Georgia. Knowledge, what's up? Rise and shine. What's popping
