Spotted on This Beat Goes:
The D.C. rapper Lola Monroe has been recruited by Wiz Khalifa for his Taylor Gang label revealing the deal in an interview with Greg Street of Atlanta’s V-103 radio. The video-vixen-turned-rapper announced that she is prepping for the release of her debut album and plans to drop a single in November.
Monroe agreed to sign with Khalifa’s label as the two share similar creative aspirations saying, “We got it in with Taylor Gang. We Taylored now. Wiz is like a positive free individual that’s about his business and that matches everything I’ve created on my side. When he reached out, he was like, ‘I feel as though our movements represent the same thing, so I want you to rep Taylor Gang.’ And I agreed, so it’s only right. Plus, out of all the situations that came to me, my business instincts and just the comfort level, I felt it was just the right move with him. He’s a stand-up dude and it just felt right.â€
Lola Monroe has dropped four mixtapes to date with the latest, ‘Batteries Not Included,’ landing in 2010 and received a nomination at the BET Awards for Best Female Hip-Hop Artist. The Washington-based rapper is also looking to put out two new mixtapes produced by DJ Ill Will with one called ‘Crown Ain’t Safe.’
Monroe has recently cut back on her modelling and acting career to focus on music although she has over 20 appearances in music videos on her resume including her most recent performance in the video for Lil Boosie’s ‘Green Light Special’ which came out in March this year.
