Fershgenet Melaku was born in Ethiopia, but was raised in Washington D.C. She is part Ethiopian (Mother), part Afro-Trinidadian (Father). As a hip hop model she goes under the aliases Angel or Lola Luv; as a rapper she goes under the alias Lola Monroe, adopting 'Monroe' from the late Marilyn Monroe.^[1] Angel was found by professional photographer / model agent Mike Styles, CEO of his own Modeling Agency Style Entertainment. They met and talked about him doing her photo shoot & managing her. They started working together with Mike’s partner Michelle Vierya and though only 5'5", she has had a successful modeling career since March 2006.^[2] As a model, her accolades are far reaching having had spreads in leading magazines such as XXL, King, BlackMen and Smooth to name a few. Moreover, she has had leading roles in music videos by some of the biggest names in the rap arena such as 50 Cent, Kanye West, Lloyd Banks, Busta Rhymes and Young Jeezy. As a model and rapper, she is widely known for her figure with much attention going to her stunning 40" posterior in spite of her slender frame. In 2009, Lola Monroe released two mixtapes officially launching her career as a female MC. On being compared to Nicki Minaj (another female MC making a name for herself in 2009), Lola says:

Nicki Minaj is a dope artist...but I don't think we sound anything alike. There are just a few female rappers in the game right now that are really out there with their music, so I think that plays a major role in the comparison
