Lola Brooke – Just Relax

Breakout artist Lola Brooke returns with the unveil of her new single “Just Relax” today via Arista Records/Team Eighty Productions. The preeminent new single from the Brooklyn-born rapper is a dynamic flip of one of Hip Hop’s most revered classic tracks, “The Choice Is Yours” by Black Sheep, and is met with an accompanying music video directed by Shanghaii, out now HERE.

With her latest “Just Relax,” 2023’s artist to watch, Lola Brooke delivers on her natural, undeniable ability to bridge generations jointly in song. With her distinct sound and razor-sharp cadence, Brooke brings a burst of dominance to today’s culture of Hip Hop. “Just Relax” magnifies this notion to a magnitude as she breathes an up-to-minute life into a culture-shifting Hip-Hop classic by Andres “Dres” Vargas Titus and William “Mista Lawnge” McLean, who make up the collective Black Sheep. Dres makes a memorable cameo in the video to “Just Relax,” which blesses the new track in all respects. Known also for her story-telling visuals, Lola leaves no stone unturned as she pays homage to the golden age of Hip Hop with styling contemplative of bamboo earrings remixed into a ready-to-wear piece made for the runway, a timeless denim-on-denim ensemble and classic tracksuit that shows the lasting impact of the culture of Hip Hop. As Hip Hop enters its 50th anniversary, “Just Relax” serves as the quintessential soundtrack for the now in celebration of the world phenomenon genre.

At a high with her first official single for the year, Lola has remained at the top with her single “Don’t Play With It,” which topped the Urban radio charts for two weeks straight at number one via MediaBase. The track debuted on the Billboard Top 100 charts earlier this month and has amassed 100M+ worldwide streams to date. Lola was recently announced as one of the official performers at Hot 97’s Summer Jam this year, which is set to take place on June 4 and UBS Arena for its first year back in New York.

Reebok – My Name Is

Reebok has revealed ‘My Name Is’, an ‘80s sport footwear collection remixed for Gen Z and accompanied by an irreverent campaign short film that mocks today’s over-styled brand advertisements. Featuring Classic Leather, Club C 85, BB 4000 II, LT Court, and a matching retro apparel lineup, the ‘My Name Is’ collection drops April 4 from Reebok.com and select retailers.

Inspired by Gen Z’s self-confidence and demand for respect, ‘My Name Is’ represents the idea of calling someone by their name. The concept is brought to life throughout the collection where footwear model names are boldly emblazoned across the tongue of each ‘80s Reebok sneaker fused with branding and colors from its ‘90s performance design catalogue.

The collection includes:

Classic Leather “My Name Is” (IE9383/IE9384 – $85): Reebok’s historic running shoe built with a leather upper, EVA midsole, and rubber outsole, remixed with archival colors and “Classic Leather” embroidered on the tongue.

Club C 85 “My Name Is” (IE9387/IE9388 – $90): Reebok’s iconic tennis sneaker built with a leather upper, a rubber midsole and outsole, remixed with archival colors and “Club C 85” embroidered on the tongue.

BB 4000 II “My Name Is” (IE6832/IE6833 – $90): Reebok’s archival cupsole basketball shoe built with a leather upper, EVA midsole, and rubber outsole, remixed with archival colors and “BB 4000 II” embroidered on the tongue.

LT Court “My Name Is” (IE9385/IE9386 – $100): Reebok’s low-profile ‘80s court model built with a leather upper, EVA midsole, and rubber outsole, remixed with archival colors and “LT Court” embroidered on the tongue.

Alongside the collection, a ‘mockumentary’ campaign short film imitates the over-styled, over-scripted, and overproduced brand advertisements of today. The irreverent 60-second video brings viewers to the set of a mock Reebok photoshoot where models pose in simulated environments as a stage director shouts for lighting adjustments, rain, snow, and facial expressions from behind the camera, eventually stripping it all away to leave just the ‘My Name Is’ shoe on stage in its own limelight.

“We wanted to have some fun with this spot and flip the script on what’s become of today’s over the top campaign creation process,” commented Caroline Machen, VP, Global Brand Marketing at Reebok. “The end result is a light-hearted piece that we hope will give people a laugh or two.”

Reebok’s ‘My Name Is’ collection is available beginning April 4 from Reebok.com/My_Name_Is and select retailers.

Reneé Rapp – Deluxe EP

Yesterday, the singer, actress, and Broadway star, Reneé Rapp, released a deluxe edition of her first EP Everything to Everyone.

The young starlet got her start by winning Best Performance by an Actress at the Jimmy Awards, formally known as the Nation High School Musical Theater Awards. These awards, given annually, recognize musical theater performances by high school students in the United States.

In September 2019, she made her Broadway debut as Regina George in MEAN GIRLS, a musical adaptation of the iconic 2004 movie. After nearly a year in the role, Broadway went dark due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

She has since transitioned into on-screen acting, starring as Leighton Murray in The Sex Lives of College Girls, an HBO Max comedy series released in 2021. In the show, written and produced by comedian Mindy Kahling, Leighton navigates her sexuality while trying to portray her preppy, put-together persona.

Her debut EP, Everything to Everyone, was first released in November 2022, just before The Sex Lives of College Girls’ season 2 premier. Everything to Everyone, originally containing 7 songs, now boasts 2 new tracks: “Bruises” and “Everything to Everyone (Extended Version).” The EP explores Reneé’s vulnerability, sensitivity, and love life- It’s not fair, I’ve got acetone for veins. I’m so sensitive, just one touch and I feel pain. “Bruises.”

In December, Reneé was named the MTV Global PUSH Artist of the month. With around 5 million listeners on Spotify monthly, as well as multiple TV performances, it’s safe to say her musical career is off to a booming start.
