Just months after serving up the hard-hitting “Bon Appétit,” Lola returns with a defiant new track that reaffirms her status as one of the most commanding forces in hip-hop. “WASSUP WIT IT” hits hard and makes it clear that Lola Brooke can take it wherever it needs to go.
Alongside the release, Lola also announces her forthcoming EP iight bet (stylized as: iight bet!), set to drop on November 14 across all digital platforms. [Pre-save HERE.]
iight bet will mark Lola’s first project since her 2023 debut Dennis Daughter, which delivered the platinum hit “Don’t Play With It” and the now gold-certified “You” featuring Bryson Tiller. As Dennis Daughter told the story of Lola’s come-up and personal growth, iight bet is about leveling up, doubling down, and owning her path with a “say less, I got this” mentality. And while the phrase is rooted in New York slang, its energy isn’t just for New Yorkers. It’s a universal mindset, with origins that trace back to NYC but a message that resonates far beyond city limits.
“I just so happen to be a rapper that expresses myself, so you’re always going to feel me in the music but iight bet came to me as a mindset even before all the songs existed,” Lola shares. “It wasn’t forced; it flowed naturally because it’s how I live. The music is just one part of it, blending into my everyday life without trying to. The real blessing is connecting with people who don’t just hear the music—they feel it. They see themselves in it. When I make music, I’m speaking to them just as much as I’m speaking to and up for myself. I had a lot on my mind and basically iight bet is me processing everything—fame, pressure, expectations—and letting it all be known I'm ready for whatever comes my way.”
With “WASSUP WIT IT” kicking things off, and iight bet on the way, Lola Brooke is ready to take center stage—on her own terms.
