Crowned: Doechii Makes Hip Hop History
HerStory is being written, and we are all enjoying the view. What a year it has been for femcee Doechii. Its only February and its seems to be only up from here. 2025 belongs to #Her and she’s blazing trails along the way.
“I felt heavily inspired by the lineage of Hip Hop and how it contributes to who I am today.. This is my first self-choreographed performance and one of the most important things I wanted to highlight was my connection to black women through Hip Hop. With the help of hair artist Malcom Marquez, we were able to make this symbolic art performance come to life in just a short week.” ~Doechii
The multihyphenate credits black women and authentic hip hop as the inspiration behind the The Late Show performance that we were all left captivated by as she closed out 2024. The creativity and innovation is unreal.
This, just days before appearing on the popular Tiny Desk Concert Series, fully loaded with nostalgic bars, cadences and the type of energy we remember from late 90s Hip Hop.
The Swamp Princess may has just started to ride the wave a mainstream stardom the past few years, but make no mistake, she’s been grinding in the trenches with eyes on the top spot for almost a decade. From independently released underground mixtapes to EPs and projects produced under Top Dawg Entertainment, buzz worthy festival appearances and an acting debut, Doechii’s body of work is strong.
There’s no denying the originality, unapologetic rawness and work ethic that led to this history making moment when Doechii became the 3rd woman ever to win the Grammy for Rap Album of the Year.
The critically acclaimed mixtape ‘Alligator Bites Never Heal’ landed the femcee her 1st Grammy, a historic win for Best Rap Album. The award was presented by Cardi B, the first solo female artist to win the category following Laruen Hill’s victory as a part of the Fugees in 1997.
Beating out Common & Pete Rock, Eminem, Future & Metro Boomin, and J. Cole in the category, Doechii accepted the title with grace, passion and a moving speech that surely inspired a multitude of brown girls and women across the globe.
As she encouraged creatives to embrace their uniqueness while aiming for the sky, Doechii honored the work of God and her dedication to sobriety for her success.
Since the 67th Annual Grammy Awards, Doechii can be seen eating down Fashion Week Paris and sharing the stage with THEE Lauren Hill. Queens certain recognize Queens, and we see no signs of this one slowing down any time soon. What a triumph, well deserved!
