It’s slated to drop on August 7 to commemorate what would’ve been her 44th birthday.

Veronica Mitchell, mother to Gangsta Booβ€”born Lola Mitchellβ€”recently spoke with TMZ about her daughter, sharing how much she missed her and how proud she is of her impact.

β€œMy daughter, Lola, was my only baby girl. I was so proud when she would rap as a little girl. She became the Queen of Memphis and God brought her home to be with her daddy Cedric and her brother Derron. I miss her but I know she’s happy with them,” she said,

She later added, β€œI’ll always remember telling her GO GET THEM DOLLAS, but I had no idea how many people would love my baby girl. I’m grateful all y’all support my daughter. Thank you.”
