Doechii is everything, period
if u don't know, now u know 💅
Please welcome to the (arena) stage: Doechii, the 24-year-old Swamp Princess who will be topping the charts in no time
Hailing from Tampa, Florida, and headed for world domination, Doechii is filled to the brim with talent, ambition, bars, and unparalleled star power. I first was introduced to Doechii by my younger brother (s/o Jah) last year with Yucky Blucky Fruitcake.
You’ve probably heard this song if you’ve spent time on TikTok. The song title comes from Junie B. Jones—yeah, that crazy and disruptive children’s book character—and by getting 100% raw with her lyrics, this schoolhouse rap is an excellent introduction to Miss Doechii, so it’s only fitting she went super viral for it.
In March 2021, Yucky was added to Spotify’s “Internet People” playlist, thanks to massive support from Spotify’s Carl Cherry (Head of Urban Music). Shortly after, it was added to 70 of Spotify’s editorial playlists and has since garnered 37.5 milli streams on the platform.
If you don’t know Doechii, start here:
Pardon the lack of professionalism but she’s so fucking dope. The Narnia, Lisa Frank, Oovoo, and Fear Factor references? Too real. She’s a ‘black girl who beat the statistics,’ and this song was just the beginning.
Later in 2020, she released her debut EP “Oh The Places You’ll Go” which was self-funded. Can your fave say the same? Another highlight from this EP, What’s Your Name (music vid), is giving 2012 Azealia Banks mixed with 2022 Beyoncé.
Still independent, in 2021, Doechii released four singles in a project titled “Bra-Less” and was featured on Isaiah Rashad’s Wat U Sed, her second-most streamed song on Spotify at 24 million.
Highlights from this era would be Girls (music vid) and Shit. The songs from this era are like if SZA, City Girls, and Leikeli47 had a gen z oddball baby—all while having zero major label influence or money. It’s impressive.
Now for the good part.
It’s 2022 and Doechii signed her deal… 😈
This year, Doechii has been on the come up in a massive way. She signed with Top Dog Entertainment and Capitol Records in a partnership deal that has given Doechii the key to music industry success—iconic producers, large budgets, and a path to world domination.
In the first month with TDE, she released one of my favorite songs of 2022, Persuasive, a vibey song about weed’s persuasion, and was featured on a David Guetta track with Missy Elliot, Trampoline. It’s a fine song, but I like my Doechii like I like my Gaga, as a solo artist, not a feature.
Next, she released Crazy which goes absolutely buck. 😩 No song gets me more hype in the gym these days—the chorus goes way too hard. And she recently played a TV-friendly version of it as her TV debut on J*mmy F*llon (bleh).
Her performance defied all expectations I had and turned me into a stan forever. Thousand percent worth a watch.
She came correct—polished, confident, and stunning. A born entertainer, she (and her team) know exactly what they’re doing. If I could bet on it, I’d say she’s about to get Doja’d. She’s flawlessly mesmerizing on the mic, and the world’s about to know it. What else would you expect from an August Leo?
That being said, a remix featuring SZA for her song Persuasive just dropped, as part of her sophomore EP and first major label release “she / her / black bitch.” The music video is not only high budget (pun intended), but it’s the groundwork for an official #1 hit.
If God really exists, she’ll launch Doechii into the Billboard Top 10 later this year or in 2023. That being said, I know God exists, and I know she’ll turn Doechii into the star that she really is, so please, watch this space.
Check out my favorite songs by Doechii on Wybrations, along with other songs I’ve been loving at the moment.
Another thing I’ve loved recently—and a good way to balance out the intensity Doechii brings—is Omar Appolo’s Tiny Desk Concert. He’s officially my new celeb crush too.
Until next time…
whenever that may be…
