It is apparent that there is not just one woman in charge when it comes to the female Hip Hop industry. Obviously, Nicki Minaj has made quite a name for herself as the current female Hip Hop “HBIC” but the world has opened up for relatively newer artists like upcoming female rapper/entertainer Lola Monroe. Besides her appealing looks, her talent speaks for itself. Her foreign roots and exotic beauty has caught America’s attention and quite a few major publications, making her the extra special spice in this business that cannot be compared to any other artist; male or female. Beginning as a sultry model for major magazines such as King and XXL, she wanted to break into the industry as a female rapper. Her true love was music. Successfully breaking into the music scene, major artists are making room for her. She is associated with several mainstream artists like Wiz Khalifa, Trina, Juicy J & Lil Boosie including the biggest accomplishment to date, joining Wiz Khalifa’s Taylor Gang Label as the first female rapper. Before that offer, she had already created her own label, Blue Rose Entertainment and she signed herself. She has released four mix tapes thus far including Art of Motivation, Untouchables, Boss B*tch’s World and Boss B*tch’s World II: Batteries Not Included. It was said that she released her newest mix tape Lipstick & Pistols in October 2012. Currently, she is touring with Wiz Khalifa on the 2050 Tour and posting Vlogs of the tour via her website and YouTube of the performances.

“To be a Bosset is beyond the material facades. It’s about standing for something as a woman, being in control of you and everything you allow to come into your life. It’s about being a strong, independent leader who goes after whatever she wants”-Lola Monroe

She has become the first female from the DC area to go national and international with her music. She strives to become something bigger than herself on a regular basis. Monroe is an active philanthropist as well as being involved in several organizations that benefits the community.
