Ua hoʻonohonoho mauʻo Doisiii i nā manaʻo no ia iho.

"ʻAʻole maopopo iaʻu pehea e wehewehe ai i kēia, Akā ke manaʻo nei wau i ka intuitive aʻike wau i ka wā e mākaukau ai wau no kekahi mau mea," Ua haʻi mai ka rapper iaʻu i ka mea maoli o hoʻokahi o ka lā ma hope o Iulai, Ke noho nei ma ka home ma Los Angeles e loaʻa iā ia ke kiʻiʻo ia ma mua o kahi lā luhi a me keʻano mele. "He pilina hohonu loa koʻu me ke Akua, No laila he nui loa kaʻu mau manaʻo e kauʻia mai nāʻike i loaʻa iaʻu."

E lawe i kona inoa, ʻo kahi laʻana. Beachon jaulla hockmon, Ua hoʻomakaʻia ka mea kākau moʻolelo "Dopomii" I ke kula waena ma kahi neʻe wiwoʻole e hoʻokaʻawale iā ia iho mai kāna mau hoa hana hou. "Ua like wau, Maopopo iā 'oe? E hele ana wau e lilo wau. I'm going to be a superstar and brand myself." Though she "didn't even know what 'branding' was at the time," she knew she was meant to stand out. "I started wearing these tutus and coming up with silhouettes, just implementing my creativity. I started to mold this woman that God kept showing me I would be. And now, I'm her."

Whatever God's vision was, it must have included great success. Over the last seven years, Doechii has risen from the depths of Soundcloud to the upper reaches of the Billboard charts. Though she's yet to release an official debut album, she's already scored collaborations with artists like Janelle Monáe, Ravyn Lenae, and SZA. Doja Cat is a huge fan, as is UGK's Bun B. She's such a hot commodity right now that, when asked to reflect on 2023 Alone, she has to pause to refresh her memory. "Coachella. ʻO kaʻu mele mua mua. A me nā wahine bilboard i loko o ka mele i kēia makahiki, akau?" (Ua ___ ia. Ua lanakilaʻo ia i ka makana hōkū e piʻi ai.) Ua hana maʻalahi ka hoʻonohonohoʻana i nā manaʻo no DonechIi i kēia manawa. No laila ke'ōlelo neiʻo ia, "Lākahi, He mea nui ia inā manaʻo ka poʻe e pili ana i ka 'oʻi moʻomeheu,'Manaʻo lākou e pili ana iaʻu," ʻAʻole paʻakikī keʻikeʻole i kaʻikeʻoleʻana.

I ka lā o kā mākou kāhea, ʻO Docohou aʻe hoʻokahi, "He aha ia (Poloka)," hiki i kahi papa hou ma nā kumu, ʻO ka hoʻopiliʻana i ka hoʻopiliʻana i ka piko o ka bilboard 50. ʻO kāna mele mua ia e hana pēlā. Ke mele nei, a "NOSTALGIC" R & b anthem e hana mua ana i kāna mau papa hana maikaʻi, he pivot mai ka pohō ikaika paʻakikī āna i hōʻike ai ma ka hana hana e like me ka makahiki i hala "Lōlō" Akāʻo ka mea kiʻi kiʻi, ʻO wai ka mea i helu ai i ka puʻu lau nahele a me Erykah Badu ma keʻano he nui, i mau mea i kekahi mea o kahi mele mele. Ka Tampa, ʻO keʻano o keʻano o Florida. He aha kāna mea iʻikeʻia e ka mea leʻaleʻa dawg dawg, ʻO ka mea i hāʻawi mua iā ia e like me ka wahine wahine mua ma kā lākou mea roster.

ʻAʻole i hoʻomakaʻo Dorasiii me nā hōʻailona hōʻailona nui. Ua hoʻomaka ka mea pena i kāna mele pono'ī i kona heleʻana e hele ana e hana ana i ke kula kiʻekiʻe, nā papahana kālā pilikino me ke kālā āna i hana ai mai konaʻanoʻo YouTube channel a "Noho mālie, E nohoʻeleʻele" pāʻoihana kidi moe. Akā ma hope o ka kūleʻa o ka home 2020 E 'wahi āu e hele ai ep (a me kona tittook viral single "Yucky blucky hua"), Uaʻikeʻo Doraiii e hōʻike anaʻo ia ka hana kūlohelohe. "ʻAʻole wau makemake e lilo i mea kaulana kaulana, " Uaʻaeʻo ia. "Makemake au e lilo i kahi superstar honua." ʻOiai ka makemakeʻana i ka makemake nui mai nā hōʻailona he nui, Ua paeʻo DOTOTII me ka TDE ma muli o kona hoʻoilina a me ke kūʻokoʻa o keʻano i loaʻa iā lākou. "Hoʻohui, Heʻeleʻele ia," hoʻohuiʻo ia. "He mea nui ia iaʻu."

ʻO ka liloʻana ma luna o kahi hōʻailona i hana kaulana no ka wāwahiʻana i nā hōkū e like me kendy Lamar a me SZA, MOHAILY MENOHLY, hele mai me kahi nui o "ke kaumaha maikaʻi." Akā e like me ka hale kūʻai kahiko, ʻO DOTOTII SIMILS ma o ka hoʻopaʻiʻana i hoʻopaʻaʻia. Mai ka hoʻopaʻa inoaʻana, Ua hoʻonui waleʻo ia iā ia, loaʻa nā kiʻi hou me nā mea i nīnauʻia, ʻelima-meleʻo ia / ona / ʻeleʻeleʻeleʻele. (ʻO ke poʻo inoa i hoʻokumuʻia e like me kaʻakaʻaka he mea e pili ana i keʻano o ke kaukaniʻo Kendrick Lamar's "Nā hale liʻiliʻi" kaʻoihana hana a me ka diahann carroll i ka laina infamous o keʻano "ʻO ka bitch mua ma ke kelepona.") Lilo nō hoʻiʻo ia eʻike i ka hana ola. Ma hope o ka loaʻaʻana o keʻano o ka ceachella i kēia manawa ma mua oʻApelila (aʻo nā makana bet i ke kauwela i hala), ʻO ia ke hele neiʻo ia i kēia manawa e wehe no ka huakaʻi scarlet scarlet scarlet scarlet scarlet scarlet.

Aʻaʻole ia e haʻi i kāna hana ma kaʻaoʻao. Ma mua o kēia makahiki, ʻIkeʻo Doira Ai ma ka honua mama, Ua hoʻopiʻiʻo Savah Leaf i ka debut a24 debut e pili ana i nā hakakā wahine wahine e pili ana i ka'ōnaehana kānāwai. Ke pāʻani nei i ka hoʻomana sute protagonist (a i nā manawa hoʻokolokolo) hoaaloha pili loa, Hōʻike akuʻo Doihi. "ʻO keʻano like wau i ka paʻiʻana i nā manaʻo maoli ma keʻano he like keʻano o keʻano o ka paʻiʻana iā lākou ma ke kāmera," Wahi a ka mea pena kiʻi i kānaʻike hana mua. "ʻO wau wale nō wau i loko o kaʻu mau manaʻo, A makemake wau e hoʻokō iā lākou i kēlā me kēia manawa e hana nei wau."

He mea hikiʻole ke loaʻa i ka mea i loaʻa iā ia e noho ponoʻole iā ia iho. E like me keʻano o ka leka uila i hāʻawiʻia iāʻoe iho, Doromii cops e noho "mahalo nui a kūpaʻa a me ka lolo a me ka braggacious, Aka hoi kekahi lalo i ka honua." Hiki i kekahi keʻike iā ia e like me ka hilinaʻi e like me keʻano o kona ala i hele aiʻo ia i kāna kiʻi kiʻi. ʻOiai ke noho nei "redneck, 'Ālelo, homophonebic" Tampa, Ua hoʻomanaʻoʻo ia e haʻi iā ia iho, "Oha oka, kaikamahine, makemakeʻoe i nā kaikamahine. Nāna e hāʻawi i kahi fuck?" (ʻO ka mea'ē aʻe eʻike iā ia mai kona home home, Nai, Ke hana mau nei kona lauoho i kēia lā.) And now, E like me Donesiii e kokoke ana i loko o ka papa nui, Ua mālamaʻo ia i kēlāʻano, haʻaheo e kamaʻilioʻana i kāna mau mele ma kāna mele i kona mele, Beats, a me nā kiʻi, E like me kāna e hana ai me ka balota i hāpaiʻia "E koi." "ʻAʻole ia he hana nui loa. Aloha wale wau e aloha wau aʻo ia hoʻi."

Ua loaʻa iā ia ka nui o ka nui o nā makahiki e like me 24 (Aneane 25, ʻOiai inā makemakeʻo ia eʻakaʻakaʻo ia e huli 21), Akā aia kekahi mau mea'ē aʻe e makemake aiʻo Doechii e hoʻokō e like me ka hoʻomauʻana o kāna hana. "Ua wehe wau i ka hanaʻana i kekahi mea i loko o kaʻoihanaʻoliʻoli," 'saysʻo ia no ka thinly. "I kekahi lā, Makemake au e kuhikuhi. Malia paha e pili ana wau. ʻAʻole wau e noʻonoʻo i kekahi mea." I ka wā e kaomi ai i kahi hoʻolālāʻelima makahiki, ʻO kāna manaʻo e makemake ai "hamber ma kahi album i kēlā me kēia makahiki i nā makahikiʻekolu e hiki mai ana." A ma hope o kēlā? "E lawe i kahi makahiki a hoʻi mai me kahi leka uila fucking felk e piss i nā poʻe a loaʻa iā ia ka mea hou loa o nā manawa āpau."

Ke manaʻo nei au ua ulaulaʻo ia, aka me ka dechii, Pono kekahi e manaʻo mau i ka mea i manaʻoʻoleʻia. Ua haʻiʻo ia iaʻu e like me ka hilahila iā ia e kū ana i ka label debut debut album, ʻo ia ka mea e makemake ai ma keʻano o ka 2023 hoʻokuʻu. ("Maopopo ma mua o koʻu heleʻana ma ka huakaʻi me DOJO," ua hoʻohikiʻo ia.) "ʻO Yʻall e hele ana e hula. Eʻoluʻolu e leʻaleʻa," Ua haʻaleleʻo ia. Mālamaʻo ia i ka wānana i nā mea i hoʻopaʻaʻia e pili ana i ke koena, ʻO ka hōʻoia waleʻana i ka hana hou eʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka papahana hou ma mua o nā mea'ē aʻe i kānaʻike. He pivot hou ia no ka doutchii, ʻOiai inā ua noho like kekahi mea. "ʻAʻole wau makemake e hāʻawi i kekahi mea," wahi a ia. "Akā ua hana wau iā ia me ka manaʻo maopopo loa."
