Doechii

There’s a point on Doechii’s "Alligator Bites Never Heal", the Grammy winner for Best Rap Album, when she yells to the heavens, “I’m everythiiiiing!” Her cry hits as a refutation to those who contort themselves trying to cram her into one genre or identity. As it turns out, the self-anointed Swamp Princess is defining herself just fine. The Tampa-born, L.A.-based rapper/singer is one of the most dynamic of her generation — as compelling delivering blunt bars over literal boom bap, as she is cooing affirmations over astral jazz, as she is barking orders over blistering house, as she is seducing over a radio-conquering R&B jam. In 2023 alone: Doechii scored her first RIAA Platinum plaque and Billboard Hot 100 hit, played Coachella’s main stage, popped in to perform on Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour, and hit the road with Doja Cat. Ultimately, though, what’s most impressive about Doechii isn’t simply that she excels at literally every form she explores. It’s that she is at home in her artistry, wherever it takes her. On July 5, it's Gdynia and Orange Main Stage!
