guest in the building, Big Lola, Lola welcome.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Uh uh uh?
Speaker 1 (00:21):
How you feeling?

I feel good. I can't complain, y'all like it early
Breakfast Club. I know, I know what's up. New project out, Yes,
new project out.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
I feel it.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Feel good? Oh my god, I feel like I just
feel like a new person.
Speaker 5 (00:39):
Why because the last project I put out, y'all, I'm
not gonna.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Hold you it just my mom wasn't there, Like I
wasn't there.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Why not? What was going on?
Speaker 5 (00:51):
Like I said, success, once you get it, you don't
know how to navigate it like when you first get there.
So it took me some time to like really enjoy
my moment, be grateful for my talent, and just celebrate myself.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
So mentally I wasn't there.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
That's why with Dennis Project Thennis Daughter Project, I was
so vulnerable because I started thinking about what happened before
my moment and I couldn't tap in.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
But now I'm like, I bet I got it, Like
I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
So you didn't enjoy the moment of your your when
when you released your first.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Album, No No, And I just sitting there pretending like
I remember the last time I was with you. I
was like, I'm good now.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
No, I was not. I was just trying to I
was trying to trick myself into thinking that I was okay.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
But I wasn't.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
I tell you talk about and when I heard you
say this, so I was like I felt it. It
resonated with me. You were talking about how that feeling
but also feeling like wait, is this really happening? Am
I supposed to be here? Is it all gonna be
going tomorrow? Like yeah, like it was freaking you out,
like you didn't know what one day after the other
was going, Yes, that's exactly how it was feeling, And
then you don't know what that feeling is. Like you
(02:09):
know you're feeling something, but you want how to explain it,
and you don't want people to look at you like
you crazy, but you know you going through something. And
then I don't vent to everybody about things like I'm
not that person that'd be.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Like, I'm going through this and I'm sad.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Nah, you could be sensitive, So you could be sensitive, Lola,
I mean I guess.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I guess I like that though, because you know you
rap with such a big voice, that big Brooklyn energy.
But what's something in your life you still feel small about,
like something you scared them you're still working on? Is
that confidence?
Speaker 3 (02:42):
My confidence is there.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
It's not about having a confidence, it's about being confident
enough to not care to show my confidence because you
think about other people before yourself, Like I think about
stepping on people toes before I'm.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
One hundred percent me, and you shouldn't do that because
that means you holding back. So that's what it be.
It's like, I know I can do this, I know
I can do that, but then with this.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
Person feel away, if I start feeling myself a little
bit more, and it's like, so what right exactly?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
You should?
Speaker 2 (03:13):
But I was gonna ask, what with this project?
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Do you ever chase?
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Try to chase the first project? Because you had successful records,
big records, You ever say I gotta stay on top?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Does that bring you the pressure?
Speaker 6 (03:24):
No?
Speaker 3 (03:24):
See, the pressure was doing the last project.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
This time around it's like, no, I'm having fun, Like
I gotta remember that I'm rapping because I enjoy doing it,
so no pressure, Like.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
People underestimate you because of your size.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Yeah, that's why I'd be rapping, like I'm six foot two.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I've never seen nobody have a security guard that has.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
To put you.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
He puts you, he puts you on his shoulders to
get you in and out of spot. Like that is
the craziest thing I've ever seen.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Yeah, and I'd be like, we.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Do you like pooling people wrong?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
I used to like proving.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
People wrong, but not no more because I realized that
that's a dead end. Like you, you can't waste your
time trying to prove people wrong. You gotta prove yourself
right on this project, I bet from the first song,
what's up with it? It seems like it's like a
temperature check, So that's not proving people wrong. What temperature
are you checking? Because it seems like you're like, oh,
y'all was looking for me.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I'm here. I was checking everybody body temperature, like because
my body.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
Check everybody body temperature because it's like my body different,
Like I'm all body over here, Like, what's up with
it like this ain't no play play.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
I'm for real, So let's get into it.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
What do you feel like has been like the biggest uh?
I guess things that have been thrown that you're from opposition,
that you felt like you had to let people know. Like,
I'm not worried about I see it, but I'm not
worried about y'all because's kind of what that song gives me.
It's like you were dressing some things or.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Being a female artist in the rap business. I feel
like they put so much pressure on you.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
It's like unnecessary pressure and then you'll get tricked, like
you get tricked out your spot.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
So I'm like, basically, I'm saying, you can trick me
out my spot? What's so with it?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Chat saying picture ship?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Oh, the chat, all the pooviies. You not really got nothing,
but it's looking good?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (05:20):
But yeah, they give you unnecessary I'm good now, Yeah, the.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Good it's.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
All on display.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
No, yeah, I just think they saw the top of
your broa. It was the top.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
It's new.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
It's just you know, the chat disrespect. Don't look at
the chat when nigga like ship.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
We like it, but you know they put they put
unnecessary pressure on you.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
So it's like at a point, yeah, I did feel
like my back was against the wall, and I'm like, no,
I'm not going out like that, So what's up with it?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
What's something about the rap game that's that's way nasty
than you expected it.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
It's really a game you gotta play and you gotta
learn to play it.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
It's like everybody is not your friend for sure, and
this is a business and if you do a create
some friends along the way, it's a great thing.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
But keep it to a minimum.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah. I heard on the album you was talking about
people that was fronting on you, but you gave a
Boogie a lot of props.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Yes, I did.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Yeah, because he took me on my first tool and
he set me up clean, like my set was on
his set in the middle of his set, so the
crowd is already warmped up.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
You know what I'm saying. And then I come in
and then I'm like, ah, y'all ready for boogie again,
and they're like, yeah, so he set me up right?
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Can you talk about how because so it's a buggie.
I remember I came and saw you a while ago.
Future was at the Barclay and they loved you there,
and they gave me so much love there. How impactful
and important was it for people like that that wrap
their arms around you but do it in a very
authentic way that gave you the best platform, put you
in the right place on the ses and things like that.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Yeah, it just it.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
It allowed people to accept me more a little more faster.
But it wasn't forced. It was just like, dang, why
we ain't see this girl before?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
So do people ever say that you to New York.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Make you cut New York.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
Down a little bit?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Nah?
Speaker 5 (07:21):
No, If anything, they asked me to be more new York,
like can can I hear? They'd be like, can I
hear your exit? Can I can I hear some lingos?
And I'll be like, I don't just talk to me.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
You are new York. I was saying, this morning new York.
But I was like, yeah, it would be ill. She
was almost like Dmxico on some type I love because
of how you look aesthetically. She kind of is though.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
The videos that's kind of me. I was going to
put on some times, but I was gonna put on
the hills.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
I was, but I was like all right, girl packed
the butters up like, but I'm very much influenced by
DMX though. It's a song called what on a project
and oh it give It, Give It, give Norri too,
and it's very New York.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
You mentioned people switching up on you too once you
got your your first plaque. Yeah, was it family? Was
it an artist?
Speaker 4 (08:15):
What was it?
Speaker 3 (08:16):
It was a lot of people man like, And you
know the thing is for me, it's like.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
I didn't even pay no much attention to it because
I'm not I'm not a person that's into drama. So
I know when you feed into drama, then you don't
feed into yourself. So yeah, switched up like you know,
but that's what that's what comes with it, you know
what I'm saying. At least that part I kind of
(08:44):
already knew, but it's different when you go through it,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
And this album, you got a Mary J.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Blige sample, Yes, it's a sample.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
How difficult was it to get to marry Clear?
Speaker 3 (08:58):
That was it difficult? Okay? No it wasn't. No, I
mean no, was it difficult?
Speaker 1 (09:04):
No?
Speaker 3 (09:04):
I wasn't it.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
I had to wait, you know, you know, I gave
I was patient because I knew she was on tour
and I wanted her to.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Do her thing.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
And then she get back to me, you know, and
I was just I was waiting. But it's a producer.
His name is es Dot and he'd be on the
road with her, so he you know, he helped out
a lot with that.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Gotcha. Do you feel like female rappers get boxed into
things like they want you to either be sexy or
gangs to just.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Do club records, Like they don't know what they want
us to do.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
You gotta know what you want to do because it's
like whatever you're thinking, that's not what it is. This
is whatever I'm giving you is what you get. You
gotta be confident. You got you have to have way
more confidence than the male artists for sure.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Which lane do you think people try to People wrongly
try to put you in.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Drill.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
They tried to a clean thou your energy, but then
you came with the Brison tailor situation, which I would
I love that for you to. So many people got
to meet you as an artist because the song was
so big, But it's the energy of your music that
feels like Drew.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Yeah, that's what But I'm not gonna front yeah, because
I love pop smoke. You know what I'm saying. I
love his energy.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
I might I might get on the drill beat, but
I might talk about different things. But my tempo in
my pocket and my energy is gonna be high.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Selling records mean a lot to you or do you
just like the music you put out? Because you just
talked about the briceon Tailler bracket, like there's like plaques.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
And the fact that you.
Speaker 7 (10:50):
Behinf girl on behalf for Team eighty and arist the records.
We want to congratulate you on a gold plata.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Oh my god, wow?
Speaker 4 (11:13):
What is it? What does that mean to you?
Speaker 3 (11:15):
This means that as you.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Let me see, let me see, let me see if
they switched up on you before they switch up on
your wow wow, wow, my god, wowing single.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Okay, we should.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
You know.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
I think I love that for you because I feel
like when that record hit, and it really hit, it
was at a time where people were trying to figure
out if you would be able to do everything you did,
but you don't.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Play with it and do it again, and you did
it bigger. I'll slap y'all. I can't believe this. I
call my mom's.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Yo.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Oh man.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
Yeah, because listen, people was doubted me before I got
my first one, Like they was doubting me all around
the board. And then it's like, sheesh, I gotta do
it again. Yeah, okay, cool, and then you do it again.
But you know, you still get slept on. You know
what I'm saying. You still get slept on. But it's cool.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Like, if you not strong enough to be in this game,
then the success ain't gonna come.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
But talk about what that means for you, right, the
fact that you're selling records, this one is gold.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Seeing that plaque and all your hard work coming through
with these seals.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
It just means that all my dreams are coming true.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
And it means that when I was saying to my mom,
like I just feel like I'm somebody in this world,
somebody important that I wasn't tripping, it was true, like
I really felt it. And it just shows that I'm
I'm gonna be able to take up y'all.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Ma, I got you, baby. I continue paying no bills.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Girls, Is your mom your biggest fan? Cause that's the
first thing he said, I need to call my mom.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
Yeah, my mom is the reason I resigned for my
job to pursue a music career, so I will always
like have her back because she always had minds.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
I know you got a record card. It was all
a dream. And you mentioned that survivor's remorse held you
back from celebrating your win. Are you gonna celebrate this?
Speaker 5 (13:21):
Yes, I'm gonna celebrate that. I promise it's a different time.
I'm gonna celebrate that when I promise you that.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
So you've reached the place now where you can celebrate.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Those yes, Like I feel like, dang, I should be
happy for myself and I shouldn't feel like because I
done went and found this success that I gotta worry
about where you at in the level of success of
your life. You know what I'm saying, Like yours is
gonna come. I waited for minds. I've been on a
bench for a very long time. I sat on a
(13:50):
bench and I watched the game. Now I'm in a court, like, dang,
can you cheer for me? Let me?
Speaker 1 (13:55):
So what were you feeling? Survi was remorse about exactly?
Speaker 5 (13:59):
Like just with everything, the littlest things like being able
to pay my bills on time, and I still know
people that that's not able to do. So you know
what I'm saying, Like the littlest things was holding me
back that I felt bad, And it's like, why would
you feel bad when it's your time and you got
to keep going so that these people could be in
your position too.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Right, So, at what point in your success did you
realize it was okay to help yourself first.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
When nobody was there when I was going through it
in my room by myself, when I was like I
was depressed and nobody was there. And I'm not saying
that nobody didn't want to be there. I just dealt
with it by myself. But I got through it.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
So I'm like, Okay, now you got to start putting
yourself first.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
You do know that you got to take care of
yourself and family first because a lot of times that
happens to a lot of people and they take care
of everybody else.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
That's right, You do understand that part of it, though, Yes,
what was.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
That downpoint depression like caused from us? It one thing?
Was it like a music industry thing? Was it personal life?
It was everything?
Speaker 5 (15:11):
It was. It was so much that I couldn't I
couldn't think like I was overthinking like it was clashing.
So that's why again I was telling y'all when I
did Dennis Daughter, I couldn't think about my moment and
what my future was was gonna look like. I kept
thinking about what was going on before. I'm like, oh,
(15:33):
I came so far, but I was just so I
was just still trying to get over trauma.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I want to ask, you know, she mentioned the drill
music before. I feel like New York music is not
flowing like it used to, like that Boom bab that record.
So do you stay focused on that as well as
say I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna be that type
of artist regardless and let it catch up with me.
Or do you say, you know what I'm gonna have to,
you know, transform a little bit and do what other
rappers are doing to make sure I stay relevant.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
I've always been like different, so I stay focused on
doing that. And I always say like, I don't want
to be responsible for saving certain parts of the music industry,
Like I don't want to be responsible for that because
that's a lot of pressure.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
I don't want. I only deal with pressure that I
know I could deal with.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
I feel like your money is a little like it's
still the lowler, high energy, but it got a little
bit of that boom back in it somewhere.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Yeah, yeah, a little bit. I think it's maybe it's
the beat that kind of I told you just gonna
be this one right here.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
I only say that because I think your flow in
it is kind of reminds me of the storytelling that
would happen over those type of beats.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Yeah, I feel like, get money. It's like, what's that with?
You want to push ups?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:48):
I always tell people I am not competitive when it
comes to.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
Competing with other artists, but when it comes to being athletic, yeah,
I will challenge you.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
You know, when you're working out with somebody, they're like, yeah,
get money. Get I know in her life that's right.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
I've seen people do it. Can you do tempushups?
Speaker 1 (17:05):
No?
Speaker 3 (17:06):
You know you can do push up? You can complete
let's do let's go gil.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Was you can you do?
Speaker 1 (17:22):
You are not dressed?
Speaker 4 (17:22):
For get it.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get the.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Fact that she signed you don't think you can do?
Speaker 4 (17:32):
To make you do temple ups?
Speaker 5 (17:35):
Now?
Speaker 4 (17:35):
I could do like three.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
I'm not okay, They're gonna do something.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Come on, that's go get money to take my shoes.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Give money, all right, money, I'm gonna get money, all right?
Speaker 6 (17:46):
Ready, ready, yeah till three steps one, so right out.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
No, come on, come on seventeen, come on eighteen, come
on nineteen, come on. Because he a.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Little slow, I thought you were working out. I did
a little quick clip.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Yes, I did a quick, little fifty clip.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
I thought, y'all get money. Y'all told me, y'all get money,
was working This is where I come on, y'all told
me castings. She just did five push ups celebs doing.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
W's in the chat y'all, I just went pack.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
I'm surprised. Lola the twenty no problem.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
No, she does push ups all over her Instagram in
the video. No, I did five, okay, but you did five. Yeah,
it was like, okay, so you said you could do
three so far. I'm proudly God he is good.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Just five push ups.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
I do want to ask you, Lola, what did you
learn in the process or releasing your first album that
made things easier this time?
Speaker 5 (19:14):
Just continue to be yourself, Like, the only way to
sell music is if you being yourself. So when I'm
making music now, I only make songs that I know
I could sell. So after that, everything just be it
be easy, not well, I'm not gonna say it gets
it gets rough sometimes, but it's not as hard as
(19:36):
the last time.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
When you're writing, what emotion do you tap into first?
Is it hunger? Is pain? Is it confidence? Or something
else we don't even know about.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
It just depends on what the day looking like for me,
like or sometimes I could be going through it with
family or whatever.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
But when I get in the studio, I make a
record like Get Money. You know what I'm saying, Like, don't.
I don't make a song dwelling on my feelings of
feeling pain or anything like that. I just be like
I'm in the gym doing push ups on Get Money,
like I'm.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
Sure on pain though, right, Pain is about you going
through something but you flip it into like confidence, feel
like stop playing with me, just stop playing with me?
So what inspired the Pain record? Okay, so okay, So
shout out to Mary because she cleared that. But the
Pain Record was basically me saying, I bet you want
(20:38):
to you wanna play with me?
Speaker 1 (20:40):
I got you?
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Hoh that thought because.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
I'm really that girl, like I shouldn't be the girl
that you're playing with. I literally told you.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Not to play with it.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
And that's not just to a man either, that could
be for anybody. So if you have some drama in
your life that you want to clean up, you listen
to pain and be like, listen, I'm cleaning house.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
But how is your love life Derek and being an artist?
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Right?
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Because does somebody get it? The fact that you're in
the studio, the fact that you're on the road, the
fact that you can't be there like a normal person
would be.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
So get.
Speaker 6 (21:12):
You know.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (21:23):
You said, oh, with my relationship?
Speaker 5 (21:25):
Oh, I mean when you have somebody that's like you're
soul made and they love you. When somebody love you,
they willing to work whatever.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
He understands.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
The understand being in the studio and being on the
road and.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Mm hmm, he understands, he supported.
Speaker 1 (21:42):

records like most artists, No, don't know.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
I am.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
I just had to get my ship off, like I
have to get it off. It's been a minute. I
was told I was popping it. That's why it's like
I bet I you know, it's been a minute since
I was popping it.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
So it's like, I bet hold that thought, let me
go crazy and then y'all won't y'all not gonna be
surprised because you y'all are super in love all over
the ground normally. But I didn't realize that you took
a little break from like the posting and all that,
and it's just you now. But that it's dope boy
(22:19):
right yeah, yesfriend, so, but that's what See, that's because
we have this thing where we were not hiding. Yeah,
but we still private, you know what I'm saying. It's
not a secret, but it's private. The last time I
saw you was the media room. Actually, I thought it
(22:40):
was a future concert. Remember I sat down with y'a
at the media room. It was me.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
See, that's why I'm clue, I'm not flu uh self
and Ivy.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
Yes, that's why I'm like. I sat them in the
middle of that conversation and you were talking about being
ready to have kids. No, wait, hold on, they tricked me, wait, wait,
hold on wait, Okay, well I'm not gonna see him
act like I yes, yes, yes, I do, yes, I
do yeah, existence yeah, because I look at it like
this right as a female, when you give life, that's
(23:11):
not something that you put a hold on, like you
playing with God saying. You know what I'm saying, if
you if you have someone that you're in love with
and you sit here and you say no, not right now,
not right now?
Speaker 6 (23:23):
What is what?
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Why y'all together?
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Especially if y'all doing things?
Speaker 4 (23:27):
Yeah? Right?
Speaker 5 (23:32):
If the head ball rocket, then what's going on?
Speaker 1 (23:37):
People that want to get married first, they want the
ring first.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
I mean, yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
But what I'm saying is to sit there and try
to put a hold on it purposely, like I don't.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
I don't believe in that. At first, I used to.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
How do you feel about bars? Like your man left
rights on my night stand and still left with no sex.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
He loved it because he's like, ooh, you ain't give
it up. Boom, Yeah, he's like, yeah, that's what I'm
talking about. You ain't give it up. You ain't easy.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Get the money back for what?
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Economically for what?
Speaker 3 (24:16):
He shouldn't have never tried to. He should have never
tried to link me.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Damn, you pay something.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
You know what I'm saying, I'm stingy, I ain't gonna
for it.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
I'm so stinchy, so he's definitely not getting that money back.
It go up and down. I'm not gonna, Frank go
up and down.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
How do you think you've involved as an artist since
your last album?
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Uh speaking?
Speaker 5 (24:42):
Besides like the music as a person, I grew with
just allowing myself to live, you know what I'm saying.
I feel like that's the most important thing because when
I'm I'm doing music because it helps express I I
expressed myself really well when I do it. So now
it's like when you don't hold yourself back, when you
(25:04):
be yourself, when you live in your moments, when you
you be yourself, just that's the best growth that you
could have. And I'm not perfect. I take accountability a lot,
you know what I'm saying. So when you make mistakes
and you correct them, it's the best thing you need
to do for yourself.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
I like.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
I like I can hear it on records like invest Daughter, Yes,
New York La. Yes, Yes. Yes. Because you say, ask
if I want bags, I said.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
When yeah, but and I could.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Go on And because you say you want somebody that
you can build a foundation.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
With, Yes, because okay, being financially stable. Of course I
want that in a relationship. But just because a man
got money don't mean he gonna treat you right. You
know what I'm saying, Like.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Is that the chat keep telling that?
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Is it the ch It's sad the chat love it right?
Chat w is in a chat.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Chat for dear life.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Over Yeah, but you know it's you know, I had
the titty I got titty problems. Now that it's that
happy way, it's that happy way.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
I want to talk about your team too, because've been
with your team of course we know you know, teammate,
talking about how important your team is to making sure
that you still are still relevant, making sure that all
your business.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Is right too.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Yep, they know they know what I want in life.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
And I always say when you meet someone new, like
a friend or a spout, it takes three years for
you to know somebody.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Their true self.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
So I feel like, even when I'm not around, my
team see things and they be like, Lola, love this.
And that helps me sleep at night because it's like
I'm not an it by myself, you know what I'm saying.
When I wake up, I know I'm gonna have a
team that's laying stuff out for me and saying here,
just say yes or no.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
And that's all I want you. I just want to
say yes or no.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
We know, don't they. We're having a guy like sav is, like,
you know, he cares about you as a person.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
Yes, that's that's the most important thing, because people do
not be caring about people.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Yo. On the song Investor, what did you learn about
yourself and your values while putting a song like that together?
Speaker 5 (27:25):
I realized that money is not everything for me. I
mean I wasn't raised in a household of a lot
of wealth. It was a single parent. So I like
to be loved on and I like to give love
as well. So that's what I learned about myself. Invest
in me spiritually, mentally, physically.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
So that's what investing is. Not just financial, it's all
of those.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
Things, not just right is everything else the financial thing
that's just to secure everything else.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
But we could get that together, Like I'm down, this
makes money, baby, he knows, he knows what's up. Okay, okay, okay, yeah,
we got we we talk about plans and stuff.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
You have to have someone where you could build with,
you know what I'm saying, So that when you do
have kids, what you gonna tell your kids? Like, you're
just glad you don't feel like you gotta put a
lot of that on hold, because that is a thing
for women in any industry. Like you always feel like, dang,
if I do it too wrong, too soon, too late,
where am I gonna end up?
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Where's my career? Yeah? And I think that's unfair. I
really do think that's unfair because it's like, as women,
y'all don't know.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
What we deal with.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
And once you get like thirty, after thirty four, they say.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
Women most likely gonna have a lot of complications with
giving birth and things like that.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
They say that. I mean, I don't know how true
it is now, but that used to be. You see
every little stuff like that that's messed up after this,
we could jump him, but you needed to get with him.
It's not envy NB.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
Yeah, I'm sorry envy you, but yeah, I feel like
really a thought that you'd be having. It's like, dang,
you worked so hard for this, but at the same time,
you do gotta do this thing over here too.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
That's why for me, I say, what do you want
in life? Forget?
Speaker 5 (29:13):
What do you want for your career? What do you
want in life? Because your career is gonna support what
you want in life. And I want a family, So
I have a career so that I could support my family.
And whenever I feel like that time coming, I'm going
Was your mindset always like that, though, because I think
that is yes, because that's the difference between understanding that
you're surviving versus understanding you're living. And a lot of
(29:34):
us women who grew up with single parents, all I
knew how to do was survive. I didn't know how
to create family. We were just talking about this family
and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
You just know how to survive. You just know how
to work hard. And that's all I say. My moms
do was work hard. So and then they make it
seem as if kids is just gonna make things harder,
and it's like, what's the point of living? Like this
is what we're here for.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
I feel like there's people that are shattered them like Cardi.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
Yeah, shout out to Carti for sure. Yeah, because she
still went out and did it and she's still doing it.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
I recently read that car Trance and she studied you
to tap into her wrapper bag for her new movie.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Yeah, it was Fashion Week out here in New York
and she she just I was like I was thrown
off because we was talking and she was like, yo,
you know I channeled you, and I'm like channel mean
She like, yeah, I got a new role and I
channeled you because you're.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Small, your voice is powerful and I'm small too.
Speaker 5 (30:34):
And I was like dazed out, like what me? She
like yeah, girl, like it was so regular for her,
and I'm like, it's not regular for me. Like your
actress telling me this.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Like that you feel like you haven't real impact.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
Yeah, I'm like, girl, keep going, keep going, don't stop,
because yeah, sometimes you you can't get to see out
looking in, you just in looking out, So sometimes you
don't feel your impact. Somebody got to tell you sometimes too,
you know, because you're so busy working, do.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
You still haven't pop syndrome or do you feel like nah.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
No, I'm here, God is my witness. I'm here.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
I'm not holding back no more, because it's like holding
back is saying I'm stepping on someone else's toes. That's
not my intentions. And if that was my first intentions,
then that means that yeah, you you tripping, but that's
not my intentions.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
To be stepping on. Nobody told I'm just trying to
keep winning so I could support my family and my goals.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
You know, when did you first recognize your voice? Like
when did what was? What was the moment you said
something scared yourself.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
When I was mad, probably one of my old flings.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
They pissed me off, and I was like, oh what hmm.
I can't even tell y'all what I said because it might.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Be a case. I said, I got it in me word,
I got it in you got it?
Speaker 1 (32:00):
And then you girl, hm hm, and you took that
right to the booth from there.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Yeah, well uh yeah I did.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Yeah, yeah, I'm kind of scared of a little.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
But she thought getting to that voice, she'd be like,
oh ship.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
So what voice?
Speaker 4 (32:16):
I like? Not like.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Loud, funny, because like it matches you, like your aesthetic.
Maybe small, but I ain't nothing about you little for real?
Speaker 3 (32:26):
Now it is the calling card. Like it's like you
hear that. I swear.
Speaker 5 (32:30):
I keep talking about this Barclay show because it was
so crazy for you and I was lit. But I
remember you literally did the and they went crazy. We
couldn't even see you where I was saying that, like
you were so little, but they just it just I
don't know, it's so big for you to be so small.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
I remember A future was bringing me out that night
and he couldn't even get my name out.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
He was like, oh, okay, I wear right past.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Normally when I run on stage, like I show love
to the person bringing me up. I was like, I'm
so sorry, bro. I was just so happy to be
on that stage, like I felt like this is my
house because it is my home, and I ran on it.
I was like, I finally fucking made it, and we
all made it. I felt like we all in that
room made it. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
When young girls from Brooklyn look at you and say
I want to rap too, what's the what's the realest
guy that you can offer them?
Speaker 5 (33:21):
I will say when they tell you to aggressive, be
even more aggressive. Yeah, say with your chest.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Girl, say with your tatars. Just don't show them check.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
It's something you manifested for twenty twenty six that scares
you and the best of me.
Speaker 5 (33:41):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
The scariest thing right now for me would be knowing
that I know my worth. I know my worth, and
that's the scariest thing when somebody know they worth. They
ain't taking no, I ain't taking nothing from nobody. I
don't care who it is. I'm standing on it like
I'm six to two.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
You are because I am. I'm sec I'm seven two,
but today i'm six two because I'm sitting down.
Speaker 4 (34:13):

Speaker 1 (34:27):
All right, now you play.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Cut out, bully. I could do two.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Let's do pain.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Let's do pain, and let's do give money.
Speaker 5 (34:35):
Yeah, because the people need to they need to get
you know, yeah, and they need to do them push ups.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Girl, Hey, you gotta work on the next time. She
come you.
Speaker 3 (34:45):

more than you did.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
I was on the phone, hunt, I was acting like
I was getting jumped by this girl, and you came out.
Speaker 1 (34:56):

Speaker 3 (34:57):

guest in the building, Big Lola, Lola welcome.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Uh uh uh?
Speaker 1 (00:21):
How you feeling?
Speaker 3 (00:22):
I feel good. I can't complain, y'all like it early
Breakfast Club. I know, I know what's up. New project out, Yes,
new project out.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
I feel it.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Feel good? Oh my god, I feel like I just
feel like a new person.
Speaker 5 (00:39):
Why because the last project I put out, y'all, I'm
not gonna.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Hold you it just my mom wasn't there, Like I
wasn't there.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Why not? What was going on?
Speaker 5 (00:51):
Like I said, success, once you get it, you don't
know how to navigate it like when you first get there.
So it took me some time to like really enjoy
my moment, be grateful for my talent, and just celebrate myself.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
So mentally I wasn't there.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
That's why with Dennis Project Thennis Daughter Project, I was
so vulnerable because I started thinking about what happened before
my moment and I couldn't tap in.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
But now I'm like, I bet I got it, Like
I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
So you didn't enjoy the moment of your your when
when you released your first.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Album, No No, And I just sitting there pretending like
I remember the last time I was with you. I
was like, I'm good now.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
No, I was not. I was just trying to I
was trying to trick myself into thinking that I was okay.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
But I wasn't.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
I tell you talk about and when I heard you
say this, so I was like I felt it. It
resonated with me. You were talking about how that feeling
but also feeling like wait, is this really happening? Am
I supposed to be here? Is it all gonna be
going tomorrow? Like yeah, like it was freaking you out,
like you didn't know what one day after the other
was going, Yes, that's exactly how it was feeling, And
then you don't know what that feeling is. Like you
(02:09):
know you're feeling something, but you want how to explain it,
and you don't want people to look at you like
you crazy, but you know you going through something. And
then I don't vent to everybody about things like I'm
not that person that'd be.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Like, I'm going through this and I'm sad.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Nah, you could be sensitive, So you could be sensitive, Lola,
I mean I guess.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I guess I like that though, because you know you
rap with such a big voice, that big Brooklyn energy.
But what's something in your life you still feel small about,
like something you scared them you're still working on? Is
that confidence?
Speaker 3 (02:42):
My confidence is there.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
It's not about having a confidence, it's about being confident
enough to not care to show my confidence because you
think about other people before yourself, Like I think about
stepping on people toes before I'm.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
One hundred percent me, and you shouldn't do that because
that means you holding back. So that's what it be.
It's like, I know I can do this, I know
I can do that, but then with this.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
Person feel away, if I start feeling myself a little
bit more, and it's like, so what right exactly?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
You should?
Speaker 2 (03:13):
But I was gonna ask, what with this project?
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Do you ever chase?
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Try to chase the first project? Because you had successful records,
big records, You ever say I gotta stay on top?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Does that bring you the pressure?
Speaker 6 (03:24):
No?
Speaker 3 (03:24):
See, the pressure was doing the last project.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
This time around it's like, no, I'm having fun, Like
I gotta remember that I'm rapping because I enjoy doing it,
so no pressure, Like.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
People underestimate you because of your size.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Yeah, that's why I'd be rapping, like I'm six foot two.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I've never seen nobody have a security guard that has.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
To put you.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
He puts you, he puts you on his shoulders to
get you in and out of spot. Like that is
the craziest thing I've ever seen.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Yeah, and I'd be like, we.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Do you like pooling people wrong?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
I used to like proving.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
People wrong, but not no more because I realized that
that's a dead end. Like you, you can't waste your
time trying to prove people wrong. You gotta prove yourself
right on this project, I bet from the first song,
what's up with it? It seems like it's like a
temperature check, So that's not proving people wrong. What temperature
are you checking? Because it seems like you're like, oh,
y'all was looking for me.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I'm here. I was checking everybody body temperature, like because
my body.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
Check everybody body temperature because it's like my body different,
Like I'm all body over here, Like, what's up with
it like this ain't no play play.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
I'm for real, So let's get into it.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
What do you feel like has been like the biggest uh?
I guess things that have been thrown that you're from opposition,
that you felt like you had to let people know. Like,
I'm not worried about I see it, but I'm not
worried about y'all because's kind of what that song gives me.
It's like you were dressing some things or.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Being a female artist in the rap business. I feel
like they put so much pressure on you.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
It's like unnecessary pressure and then you'll get tricked, like
you get tricked out your spot.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
So I'm like, basically, I'm saying, you can trick me
out my spot? What's so with it?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Chat saying picture ship?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Oh, the chat, all the pooviies. You not really got nothing,
but it's looking good?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (05:20):
But yeah, they give you unnecessary I'm good now, Yeah, the.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Good it's.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
All on display.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
No, yeah, I just think they saw the top of
your broa. It was the top.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
It's new.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
It's just you know, the chat disrespect. Don't look at
the chat when nigga like ship.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
We like it, but you know they put they put
unnecessary pressure on you.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
So it's like at a point, yeah, I did feel
like my back was against the wall, and I'm like, no,
I'm not going out like that, So what's up with it?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
What's something about the rap game that's that's way nasty
than you expected it.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
It's really a game you gotta play and you gotta
learn to play it.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
It's like everybody is not your friend for sure, and
this is a business and if you do a create
some friends along the way, it's a great thing.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
But keep it to a minimum.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah. I heard on the album you was talking about
people that was fronting on you, but you gave a
Boogie a lot of props.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Yes, I did.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Yeah, because he took me on my first tool and
he set me up clean, like my set was on
his set in the middle of his set, so the
crowd is already warmped up.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
You know what I'm saying. And then I come in
and then I'm like, ah, y'all ready for boogie again,
and they're like, yeah, so he set me up right?
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Can you talk about how because so it's a buggie.
I remember I came and saw you a while ago.
Future was at the Barclay and they loved you there,
and they gave me so much love there. How impactful
and important was it for people like that that wrap
their arms around you but do it in a very
authentic way that gave you the best platform, put you
in the right place on the ses and things like that.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Yeah, it just it.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
It allowed people to accept me more a little more faster.
But it wasn't forced. It was just like, dang, why
we ain't see this girl before?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
So do people ever say that you to New York.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Make you cut New York.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
Down a little bit?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Nah?
Speaker 5 (07:21):
No, If anything, they asked me to be more new York,
like can can I hear? They'd be like, can I
hear your exit? Can I can I hear some lingos?
And I'll be like, I don't just talk to me.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
You are new York. I was saying, this morning new York.
But I was like, yeah, it would be ill. She
was almost like Dmxico on some type I love because
of how you look aesthetically. She kind of is though.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
The videos that's kind of me. I was going to
put on some times, but I was gonna put on
the hills.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
I was, but I was like all right, girl packed
the butters up like, but I'm very much influenced by
DMX though. It's a song called what on a project
and oh it give It, Give It, give Norri too,
and it's very New York.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
You mentioned people switching up on you too once you
got your your first plaque. Yeah, was it family? Was
it an artist?
Speaker 4 (08:15):
What was it?
Speaker 3 (08:16):
It was a lot of people man like, And you
know the thing is for me, it's like.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
I didn't even pay no much attention to it because
I'm not I'm not a person that's into drama. So
I know when you feed into drama, then you don't
feed into yourself. So yeah, switched up like you know,
but that's what that's what comes with it, you know
what I'm saying. At least that part I kind of
(08:44):
already knew, but it's different when you go through it,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
And this album, you got a Mary J.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Blige sample, Yes, it's a sample.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
How difficult was it to get to marry Clear?
Speaker 3 (08:58):
That was it difficult? Okay? No it wasn't. No, I
mean no, was it difficult?
Speaker 1 (09:04):
No?
Speaker 3 (09:04):
I wasn't it.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
I had to wait, you know, you know, I gave
I was patient because I knew she was on tour
and I wanted her to.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Do her thing.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
And then she get back to me, you know, and
I was just I was waiting. But it's a producer.
His name is es Dot and he'd be on the
road with her, so he you know, he helped out
a lot with that.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Gotcha. Do you feel like female rappers get boxed into
things like they want you to either be sexy or
gangs to just.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Do club records, Like they don't know what they want
us to do.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
You gotta know what you want to do because it's
like whatever you're thinking, that's not what it is. This
is whatever I'm giving you is what you get. You
gotta be confident. You got you have to have way
more confidence than the male artists for sure.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Which lane do you think people try to People wrongly
try to put you in.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Drill.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
They tried to a clean thou your energy, but then
you came with the Brison tailor situation, which I would
I love that for you to. So many people got
to meet you as an artist because the song was
so big, But it's the energy of your music that
feels like Drew.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Yeah, that's what But I'm not gonna front yeah, because
I love pop smoke. You know what I'm saying. I
love his energy.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
I might I might get on the drill beat, but
I might talk about different things. But my tempo in
my pocket and my energy is gonna be high.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Selling records mean a lot to you or do you
just like the music you put out? Because you just
talked about the briceon Tailler bracket, like there's like plaques.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
And the fact that you.
Speaker 7 (10:50):
Behinf girl on behalf for Team eighty and arist the records.
We want to congratulate you on a gold plata.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Oh my god, wow?
Speaker 4 (11:13):
What is it? What does that mean to you?
Speaker 3 (11:15):
This means that as you.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Let me see, let me see, let me see if
they switched up on you before they switch up on
your wow wow, wow, my god, wowing single.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Okay, we should.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
You know.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
I think I love that for you because I feel
like when that record hit, and it really hit, it
was at a time where people were trying to figure
out if you would be able to do everything you did,
but you don't.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Play with it and do it again, and you did
it bigger. I'll slap y'all. I can't believe this. I
call my mom's.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Yo.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Oh man.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
Yeah, because listen, people was doubted me before I got
my first one, Like they was doubting me all around
the board. And then it's like, sheesh, I gotta do
it again. Yeah, okay, cool, and then you do it again.
But you know, you still get slept on. You know
what I'm saying. You still get slept on. But it's cool.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Like, if you not strong enough to be in this game,
then the success ain't gonna come.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
But talk about what that means for you, right, the
fact that you're selling records, this one is gold.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Seeing that plaque and all your hard work coming through
with these seals.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
It just means that all my dreams are coming true.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
And it means that when I was saying to my mom,
like I just feel like I'm somebody in this world,
somebody important that I wasn't tripping, it was true, like
I really felt it. And it just shows that I'm
I'm gonna be able to take up y'all.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Ma, I got you, baby. I continue paying no bills.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Girls, Is your mom your biggest fan? Cause that's the
first thing he said, I need to call my mom.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
Yeah, my mom is the reason I resigned for my
job to pursue a music career, so I will always
like have her back because she always had minds.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
I know you got a record card. It was all
a dream. And you mentioned that survivor's remorse held you
back from celebrating your win. Are you gonna celebrate this?
Speaker 5 (13:21):
Yes, I'm gonna celebrate that. I promise it's a different time.
I'm gonna celebrate that when I promise you that.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
So you've reached the place now where you can celebrate.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Those yes, Like I feel like, dang, I should be
happy for myself and I shouldn't feel like because I
done went and found this success that I gotta worry
about where you at in the level of success of
your life. You know what I'm saying, Like yours is
gonna come. I waited for minds. I've been on a
bench for a very long time. I sat on a
(13:50):
bench and I watched the game. Now I'm in a court, like, dang,
can you cheer for me? Let me?
Speaker 1 (13:55):
So what were you feeling? Survi was remorse about exactly?
Speaker 5 (13:59):
Like just with everything, the littlest things like being able
to pay my bills on time, and I still know
people that that's not able to do. So you know
what I'm saying, Like the littlest things was holding me
back that I felt bad, And it's like, why would
you feel bad when it's your time and you got
to keep going so that these people could be in
your position too.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Right, So, at what point in your success did you
realize it was okay to help yourself first.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
When nobody was there when I was going through it
in my room by myself, when I was like I
was depressed and nobody was there. And I'm not saying
that nobody didn't want to be there. I just dealt
with it by myself. But I got through it.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
So I'm like, Okay, now you got to start putting
yourself first.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
You do know that you got to take care of
yourself and family first because a lot of times that
happens to a lot of people and they take care
of everybody else.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
That's right, You do understand that part of it, though, Yes,
what was.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
That downpoint depression like caused from us? It one thing?
Was it like a music industry thing? Was it personal life?
It was everything?
Speaker 5 (15:11):
It was. It was so much that I couldn't I
couldn't think like I was overthinking like it was clashing.
So that's why again I was telling y'all when I
did Dennis Daughter, I couldn't think about my moment and
what my future was was gonna look like. I kept
thinking about what was going on before. I'm like, oh,
(15:33):
I came so far, but I was just so I
was just still trying to get over trauma.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I want to ask, you know, she mentioned the drill
music before. I feel like New York music is not
flowing like it used to, like that Boom bab that record.
So do you stay focused on that as well as
say I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna be that type
of artist regardless and let it catch up with me.
Or do you say, you know what I'm gonna have to,
you know, transform a little bit and do what other
rappers are doing to make sure I stay relevant.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
I've always been like different, so I stay focused on
doing that. And I always say like, I don't want
to be responsible for saving certain parts of the music industry,
Like I don't want to be responsible for that because
that's a lot of pressure.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
I don't want. I only deal with pressure that I
know I could deal with.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
I feel like your money is a little like it's
still the lowler, high energy, but it got a little
bit of that boom back in it somewhere.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Yeah, yeah, a little bit. I think it's maybe it's
the beat that kind of I told you just gonna
be this one right here.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
I only say that because I think your flow in
it is kind of reminds me of the storytelling that
would happen over those type of beats.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Yeah, I feel like, get money. It's like, what's that with?
You want to push ups?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:48):
I always tell people I am not competitive when it
comes to.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
Competing with other artists, but when it comes to being athletic, yeah,
I will challenge you.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
You know, when you're working out with somebody, they're like, yeah,
get money. Get I know in her life that's right.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
I've seen people do it. Can you do tempushups?
Speaker 1 (17:05):
No?
Speaker 3 (17:06):
You know you can do push up? You can complete
let's do let's go gil.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Was you can you do?
Speaker 1 (17:22):

For get it.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get the.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Fact that she signed you don't think you can do?
Speaker 4 (17:32):
To make you do temple ups?
Speaker 5 (17:35):
Now?
Speaker 4 (17:35):
I could do like three.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
I'm not okay, They're gonna do something.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Come on, that's go get money to take my shoes.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Give money, all right, money, I'm gonna get money, all right?
Speaker 6 (17:46):
Ready, ready, yeah till three steps one, so right out.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
No, come on, come on seventeen, come on eighteen, come
on nineteen, come on. Because he a.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Little slow, I thought you were working out. I did
a little quick clip.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Yes, I did a quick, little fifty clip.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
I thought, y'all get money. Y'all told me, y'all get money,
was working This is where I come on, y'all told
me castings. She just did five push ups celebs doing.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
W's in the chat y'all, I just went pack.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
I'm surprised. Lola the twenty no problem.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
No, she does push ups all over her Instagram in
the video. No, I did five, okay, but you did five. Yeah,
it was like, okay, so you said you could do
three so far. I'm proudly God he is good.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Just five push ups.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
I do want to ask you, Lola, what did you
learn in the process or releasing your first album that
made things easier this time?
Speaker 5 (19:14):
Just continue to be yourself, Like, the only way to
sell music is if you being yourself. So when I'm
making music now, I only make songs that I know
I could sell. So after that, everything just be it
be easy, not well, I'm not gonna say it gets
it gets rough sometimes, but it's not as hard as
(19:36):
the last time.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
When you're writing, what emotion do you tap into first?
Is it hunger? Is pain? Is it confidence? Or something
else we don't even know about.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
It just depends on what the day looking like for me,
like or sometimes I could be going through it with
family or whatever.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
But when I get in the studio, I make a
record like Get Money. You know what I'm saying, Like, don't.
I don't make a song dwelling on my feelings of
feeling pain or anything like that. I just be like
I'm in the gym doing push ups on Get Money,
like I'm.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
Sure on pain though, right, Pain is about you going
through something but you flip it into like confidence, feel
like stop playing with me, just stop playing with me?
So what inspired the Pain record? Okay, so okay, So
shout out to Mary because she cleared that. But the
Pain Record was basically me saying, I bet you want
(20:38):
to you wanna play with me?
Speaker 1 (20:40):
I got you?
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Hoh that thought because.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
I'm really that girl, like I shouldn't be the girl
that you're playing with. I literally told you.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Not to play with it.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
And that's not just to a man either, that could
be for anybody. So if you have some drama in
your life that you want to clean up, you listen
to pain and be like, listen, I'm cleaning house.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
But how is your love life Derek and being an artist?
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Right?
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Because does somebody get it? The fact that you're in
the studio, the fact that you're on the road, the
fact that you can't be there like a normal person
would be.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
So get.
Speaker 6 (21:12):
You know.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
You're good.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
So how do you deal with that?
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (21:23):
You said, oh, with my relationship?
Speaker 5 (21:25):
Oh, I mean when you have somebody that's like you're
soul made and they love you. When somebody love you,
they willing to work whatever.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
He understands.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
The understand being in the studio and being on the
road and.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Mm hmm, he understands, he supported.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
So why you don't lean into the more in love
records like most artists, No, don't know.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
I am.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
I just had to get my ship off, like I
have to get it off. It's been a minute. I
was told I was popping it. That's why it's like
I bet I you know, it's been a minute since
I was popping it.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
So it's like, I bet hold that thought, let me
go crazy and then y'all won't y'all not gonna be
surprised because you y'all are super in love all over
the ground normally. But I didn't realize that you took
a little break from like the posting and all that,
and it's just you now. But that it's dope boy
(22:19):
right yeah, yesfriend, so, but that's what See, that's because
we have this thing where we were not hiding. Yeah,
but we still private, you know what I'm saying. It's
not a secret, but it's private. The last time I
saw you was the media room. Actually, I thought it
(22:40):
was a future concert. Remember I sat down with y'a
at the media room. It was me.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
See, that's why I'm clue, I'm not flu uh self
and Ivy.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
Yes, that's why I'm like. I sat them in the
middle of that conversation and you were talking about being
ready to have kids. No, wait, hold on, they tricked me, wait, wait,
hold on wait, Okay, well I'm not gonna see him
act like I yes, yes, yes, I do, yes, I
do yeah, existence yeah, because I look at it like
this right as a female, when you give life, that's
(23:11):
not something that you put a hold on, like you
playing with God saying. You know what I'm saying, if
you if you have someone that you're in love with
and you sit here and you say no, not right now,
not right now?
Speaker 6 (23:23):
What is what?
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Why y'all together?
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Especially if y'all doing things?
Speaker 4 (23:27):
Yeah? Right?
Speaker 5 (23:32):
If the head ball rocket, then what's going on?
Speaker 1 (23:37):
People that want to get married first, they want the
ring first.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
I mean, yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
But what I'm saying is to sit there and try
to put a hold on it purposely, like I don't.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
I don't believe in that. At first, I used to.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
How do you feel about bars? Like your man left
rights on my night stand and still left with no sex.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
He loved it because he's like, ooh, you ain't give
it up. Boom, Yeah, he's like, yeah, that's what I'm
talking about. You ain't give it up. You ain't easy.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Get the money back for what?
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Economically for what?
Speaker 3 (24:16):
He shouldn't have never tried to. He should have never
tried to link me.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Damn, you pay something.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
You know what I'm saying, I'm stingy, I ain't gonna
for it.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
I'm so stinchy, so he's definitely not getting that money back.
It go up and down. I'm not gonna, Frank go
up and down.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
How do you think you've involved as an artist since
your last album?
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Uh speaking?
Speaker 5 (24:42):
Besides like the music as a person, I grew with
just allowing myself to live, you know what I'm saying.
I feel like that's the most important thing because when
I'm I'm doing music because it helps express I I
expressed myself really well when I do it. So now
it's like when you don't hold yourself back, when you
(25:04):
be yourself, when you live in your moments, when you
you be yourself, just that's the best growth that you
could have. And I'm not perfect. I take accountability a lot,
you know what I'm saying. So when you make mistakes
and you correct them, it's the best thing you need
to do for yourself.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
I like.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
I like I can hear it on records like invest Daughter, Yes,
New York La. Yes, Yes. Yes. Because you say, ask
if I want bags, I said.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
When yeah, but and I could.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Go on And because you say you want somebody that
you can build a foundation.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
With, Yes, because okay, being financially stable. Of course I
want that in a relationship. But just because a man
got money don't mean he gonna treat you right. You
know what I'm saying, Like.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Is that the chat keep telling that?
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Is it the ch It's sad the chat love it right?
Chat w is in a chat.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Chat for dear life.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Over Yeah, but you know it's you know, I had
the titty I got titty problems. Now that it's that
happy way, it's that happy way.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
I want to talk about your team too, because've been
with your team of course we know you know, teammate,
talking about how important your team is to making sure
that you still are still relevant, making sure that all
your business.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Is right too.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Yep, they know they know what I want in life.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
And I always say when you meet someone new, like
a friend or a spout, it takes three years for
you to know somebody.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Their true self.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
So I feel like, even when I'm not around, my
team see things and they be like, Lola, love this.
And that helps me sleep at night because it's like
I'm not an it by myself, you know what I'm saying.
When I wake up, I know I'm gonna have a
team that's laying stuff out for me and saying here,
just say yes or no.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
And that's all I want you. I just want to
say yes or no.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
We know, don't they. We're having a guy like sav is, like,
you know, he cares about you as a person.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
Yes, that's that's the most important thing, because people do
not be caring about people.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Yo. On the song Investor, what did you learn about
yourself and your values while putting a song like that together?
Speaker 5 (27:25):
I realized that money is not everything for me. I
mean I wasn't raised in a household of a lot
of wealth. It was a single parent. So I like
to be loved on and I like to give love
as well. So that's what I learned about myself. Invest
in me spiritually, mentally, physically.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
So that's what investing is. Not just financial, it's all
of those.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
Things, not just right is everything else the financial thing
that's just to secure everything else.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
But we could get that together, Like I'm down, this
makes money, baby, he knows, he knows what's up. Okay, okay, okay, yeah,
we got we we talk about plans and stuff.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
You have to have someone where you could build with,
you know what I'm saying, So that when you do
have kids, what you gonna tell your kids? Like, you're
just glad you don't feel like you gotta put a
lot of that on hold, because that is a thing
for women in any industry. Like you always feel like, dang,
if I do it too wrong, too soon, too late,
where am I gonna end up?
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Where's my career? Yeah? And I think that's unfair. I
really do think that's unfair because it's like, as women,
y'all don't know.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
What we deal with.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
And once you get like thirty, after thirty four, they say.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
Women most likely gonna have a lot of complications with
giving birth and things like that.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
They say that. I mean, I don't know how true
it is now, but that used to be. You see
every little stuff like that that's messed up after this,
we could jump him, but you needed to get with him.
It's not envy NB.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
Yeah, I'm sorry envy you, but yeah, I feel like
really a thought that you'd be having. It's like, dang,
you worked so hard for this, but at the same time,
you do gotta do this thing over here too.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
That's why for me, I say, what do you want
in life? Forget?
Speaker 5 (29:13):
What do you want for your career? What do you
want in life? Because your career is gonna support what
you want in life. And I want a family, So
I have a career so that I could support my family.
And whenever I feel like that time coming, I'm going
Was your mindset always like that, though, because I think
that is yes, because that's the difference between understanding that
you're surviving versus understanding you're living. And a lot of
(29:34):
us women who grew up with single parents, all I
knew how to do was survive. I didn't know how
to create family. We were just talking about this family
and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
You just know how to survive. You just know how
to work hard. And that's all I say. My moms
do was work hard. So and then they make it
seem as if kids is just gonna make things harder,
and it's like, what's the point of living? Like this
is what we're here for.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
I feel like there's people that are shattered them like Cardi.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
Yeah, shout out to Carti for sure. Yeah, because she
still went out and did it and she's still doing it.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
I recently read that car Trance and she studied you
to tap into her wrapper bag for her new movie.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Yeah, it was Fashion Week out here in New York
and she she just I was like I was thrown
off because we was talking and she was like, yo,
you know I channeled you, and I'm like channel mean
She like, yeah, I got a new role and I
channeled you because you're.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Small, your voice is powerful and I'm small too.
Speaker 5 (30:34):
And I was like dazed out, like what me? She
like yeah, girl, like it was so regular for her,
and I'm like, it's not regular for me. Like your
actress telling me this.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Like that you feel like you haven't real impact.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
Yeah, I'm like, girl, keep going, keep going, don't stop,
because yeah, sometimes you you can't get to see out
looking in, you just in looking out, So sometimes you
don't feel your impact. Somebody got to tell you sometimes too,
you know, because you're so busy working, do.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
You still haven't pop syndrome or do you feel like nah.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
No, I'm here, God is my witness. I'm here.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
I'm not holding back no more, because it's like holding
back is saying I'm stepping on someone else's toes. That's
not my intentions. And if that was my first intentions,
then that means that yeah, you you tripping, but that's
not my intentions.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
To be stepping on. Nobody told I'm just trying to
keep winning so I could support my family and my goals.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
You know, when did you first recognize your voice? Like
when did what was? What was the moment you said
something scared yourself.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
When I was mad, probably one of my old flings.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
They pissed me off, and I was like, oh what hmm.
I can't even tell y'all what I said because it might.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Be a case. I said, I got it in me word,
I got it in you got it?
Speaker 1 (32:00):
And then you girl, hm hm, and you took that
right to the booth from there.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Yeah, well uh yeah I did.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Yeah, yeah, I'm kind of scared of a little.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
But she thought getting to that voice, she'd be like,
oh ship.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
So what voice?
Speaker 4 (32:16):
I like? Not like.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Loud, funny, because like it matches you, like your aesthetic.
Maybe small, but I ain't nothing about you little for real?
Speaker 3 (32:26):
Now it is the calling card. Like it's like you
hear that. I swear.
Speaker 5 (32:30):
I keep talking about this Barclay show because it was
so crazy for you and I was lit. But I
remember you literally did the and they went crazy. We
couldn't even see you where I was saying that, like
you were so little, but they just it just I
don't know, it's so big for you to be so small.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
I remember A future was bringing me out that night
and he couldn't even get my name out.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
He was like, oh, okay, I wear right past.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Normally when I run on stage, like I show love
to the person bringing me up. I was like, I'm
so sorry, bro. I was just so happy to be
on that stage, like I felt like this is my
house because it is my home, and I ran on it.
I was like, I finally fucking made it, and we
all made it. I felt like we all in that
room made it. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
When young girls from Brooklyn look at you and say
I want to rap too, what's the what's the realest
guy that you can offer them?
Speaker 5 (33:21):
I will say when they tell you to aggressive, be
even more aggressive. Yeah, say with your chest.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Girl, say with your tatars. Just don't show them check.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
It's something you manifested for twenty twenty six that scares
you and the best of me.
Speaker 5 (33:41):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
The scariest thing right now for me would be knowing
that I know my worth. I know my worth, and
that's the scariest thing when somebody know they worth. They
ain't taking no, I ain't taking nothing from nobody. I
don't care who it is. I'm standing on it like

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
