Recently releasing the deluxe edition of her 2023 debut album Dennis Daughter, Lola Brooke shares a video for “Shelter Baby (Be That B*tch).”
The song elaborates on her experiences and the significance the shelter system has on her life. “You never treat people like sh*t,” she said to Vulture in 2023 about her times working at a men’s shelter within NYC’s Acacia Network Housing. “I’m the same person catering to these people and telling them when they could sleep and when they could wake up. I have authority to make them feel like I’m bigger than them. Now I’m in that lunchroom by myself with no service; if I was being dumb, people would not make sure I was okay. But they felt like, ‘You took care of me before, I’ll take care of you.’”
