A force to be reckoned with in the world of rap and hip-hop, Doechii is one of the best new artists rising to fame. From her unique sound to her fun style, her wide range of talents is setting her apart from other artists.

Originally from Tampa, Florida, she took an interest in music at a young age. However, it wasn’t until 2020 when her single “Yucky Blucky Fruitcake” went viral and received widespread attention, making her a well-known name. Not long after, in 2022, she signed with Top Dawg Entertainment, an impressive record label that has also signed artists like SZA and Kendrick Lamar, helping her solidify her place in the music scene.

Doechii incorporates not just rap into her music, but also a variety of other genres, like R&B, pop and alternative music. Some of her best songs include “Denial is a River” and “Balloon”, which have catchy, fun beats that are impossible not to love. They also have introspective lyrics that talk about love, identity, and mental health. She’s not afraid to be vulnerable and explore many topics that most artists would shy away from.

Another thing that makes Doechii stand out is her use of vibrant visual imagery and aesthetics. Her music videos are full of bright colors and thought-provoking concepts. Two of my favorites are “Nissan Altima” and “Girls.”

Doechii is also a powerful performer. Just this year she performed at the Grammys with her song “Catfish”. Her bold choreography and her stage presence is captivating, and every performance is high-energy! I definitely recommend checking it out. 

Pushing boundaries with her creativity, Doechii is quickly becoming one of the most exciting voices in the industry. As she continues to release music and grow her fan base, it's clear she is here to stay.
