Lola Brooke Bends It Ova: Rap star Lola Brooke has released new track “Bend it Ova,” featuring A Boogie Wit da Hoodie and Big Freedia, via Team Eighty Productions/ Artista Records.
“The enthralling cut from Brooklyn-born rap star Lola Brooke interpolates breakout Cash Money Records hit ‘Back That Azz Up’ by Juvenile, Mannie Fresh and Lil Wayne, which recently marked its 26th anniversary,” reads the press release. “‘Bend It Ova’ takes on a new twist for the call-and-response cultural hit track with an upbeat, shock-value vibe that magnifies the flare and intensity of New Orleans bounce music while spotlighting the swag and dimensionality of the New York City rap scene today.”
It’s the vocal interplay between, in particular, Brooke and ABWDH, that his so impressive, as they verbally bounce off of each other before spitting out the “Back that ass up” key line.
The song precedes the deluxe edition of Brookes’ debut project Dennis Daughter, out April 5. The project was originally released in November.
“I’m ready to raise the temperature on Dennis Daughter,” Brookes said in a statement. “It’s Gator season, and I’m gearing up to release more music that makes my fans want to go outside and have a good time. It was very important for me to share my story first, but now the Brooklyn girl wants to go out and do the things she likes to do. On Bend It Ova, two worlds come together here and Boogie [A Boogie] and Big Freedia were the perfect fit for the energy I needed on this one. I know the energy while performing this song will go to the roof.”
