Back in March, Lola Brooke dropped hints about a possible collaboration with Meek Mill during her captivating cover story with MEFeater. Expressing her admiration for the rapper, she playfully suggested that they should “tap back in.” It seems like there might already be something in the works between these two talented artists.
Not long after, other influential figures in the hip-hop industry, including Lil Kim and Cardi B, showed their support for Lola. Fellow New Yorker A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie even invited the self-proclaimed 718 Princess to join him on his “Me Vs. Myself Tour” in 2023, further solidifying her growing presence in the music scene.
Lola Brooke’s single “Don’t Play With It,” featuring Billy B, has been a reflection of her soaring career. Starting as a regional hit in 2021, it has now become a national sensation in 2023. The track has made its mark on various Billboard charts, reaching No. 69 on the Hot 100 chart and No. 21 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
Meanwhile, Meek Mill’s iconic song “Dreams and Nightmares” continues to be a beloved staple in hip-hop. In October 2022, Meek celebrated the 10th anniversary of the track with a concert at the Wells Fargo Center in his hometown of Philadelphia. The record has achieved double Platinum certification from the RIAA, selling over 2 million units.
Lola Brooke’s collaborations and chart success, combined with Meek Mill’s enduring impact, demonstrate the power of their artistry in shaping the hip-hop landscape. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for these talented musicians.
