The international rap star Lola Brooke has returned with a brand new single today (March 10) titled, “So DISRESPECTFUL.” The new single we hear today is the follow-up to her recent showstopping appearances on the tracks, “Opp” with Coach Joey and “Conceited” with Flo Milli. In the new single, the Brooklyn native makes the most of the bass-heavy instrumental that Reefa and Gyard co-produced with her signature gritty flow by combining it with Reefa’s signature beats– all of which she uses to her advantage.
Despite enjoying viral success through her popular single “Don’t Play With It” featuring Billy B, Lola Brooke has been able to maintain her momentum all throughout the month of 2022 with tracks such as “Dummy Ummy,” “Here I Come,” “Gator Season,” and “On My Mind.” There has been no let-up for the “718 Princess,” whose signing to Arista Records in collaboration with Team Eighty Productions was officially announced back in January.
As a side note, Lola Brooke recently completed a very successful tour run as an opening act for A Boogie WIt Da Hoodie as part of his “Me Vs. Myself Tour.” On Feb. 7, 2015, the two New York natives and accomplished singers hit the road for their North American tour and have blessed major cities such as Chicago, Boston,Toronto, and many others during the tour. On the night of March 4, the guys performed an unforgettable homecoming concert at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn for their fans.

As early as this year, J.I. made his way back with a lot of loose drops such as “Black Roses” and “It’s Officially Done”, the latter of which premiered exclusively on Complex. As he continues to build on his momentum, on March 3rd, the New York City artist released a new song titled “Save You.” This song tells the story of a person needing someone to get them through hard times. Featuring a group therapy session, the short was directed by Derek Dreamfilms and Artixan and is set in a psychiatric hospital. It is only after he reveals to the group of musicians that he is addicted to pain that the 21-year-old rapper reveals to them his regret-filled hook:
It was in 2022 when the artist J.I., who is best known for his “Need Me” record, released his last album Young & Restless, Vol. 1 Baby Don, an album with 12 songs comprised an assortment of fan-favorites such as “Taken for Granted” and “Love Letter.” While this album was slightly lacking in features, it featured production by names like Whippit Up Sensei, Hagan, D.O.C, Chef Dior, Ambezza, GLVCK, CorMill, and more.
According to an interview with J.I., the musician spoke about what it was like to sell out SOBs, a famous venue in New York City, at such short notice. It was a very emotional moment for me because it was a result of hard work. The story of my life is a crazy one. In the future, you guys will be able to understand why it is that I’m so dedicated to my craft and why I go to such lengths to make it successful. I have had a long journey ahead of me. I find myself overwhelmed even by the fact that I am here. In my city, most people do not leave the city. At least, I don’t know of any people who do.” he said.
