UDoChii ubelokhu ebeka izinhloso.

"Angazi ukuthi ngikuchaze kanjani lokhu, Kepha ngizwa nginembile kakhulu futhi ngiyazi lapho sengikulungele izinto ezithile," I-rapper ingitshela ukuthi ngendaba ntambama ntambama, ehleli ekhaya eLos Angeles njengoba ethola ubukhazikhazi bakhe ngaphambi kosuku olumatasa lokudalwa kokuqukethwe kanye nokwenza umculo. "Nginokuxhumana okungokomoya okujulile noNkulunkulu, Ngakho-ke izinhloso zami eziningi zisethwe kuphela ngemibono engiyitholayo."

Thatha Igama Lakhe, Ngokwesibonelo. Wazalwa Jaylah Hickin, Umculi wokuqopha waqala ukuhamba "Doechii" ESikoleni Esiphakathi ngesibindi sokuzihlukanisa nontanga yakhe evamile. "Benginjani, uyazi yini? Ngizoba yimi ukuthi ngingubani. Ngizoba yi-superstar futhi mina brand uqobo." Noma yena "bengazi nokuthi yini 'ukubhala uphawu' ngaleso sikhathi," Wayazi ukuthi wayehloselwe ukuvela. "Ngiqale ukugqoka lezi tutu nokuza nama-silhouette, Vele usebenzise ubuhlakani bami. Ngaqala ukubumba lona wesifazane ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayelokhu engikhombisa ukuthi ngizoba. Futhi manje, Nginguye."

Noma ngabe yini umbono kaNkulunkulu, Kumele ifake impumelelo enkulu. Eminyakeni eyisikhombisa edlule, I-DoECHII ikhuphuke ekujuleni kwe-SoundCloud kuze kufinyelele phezulu kwamashadi e-billboard. Yize esengadedele i-albhamu esemthethweni ye-reet albhamu, Usevele wafaka amanani amanani abaculi abanjengabaculi abanjengoJanelle Monáe, URavyn Lena, no-sza. UDoja Cat ungumlandeli omkhulu, Njengoba i-Bun Bun B. Uyinto eshisayo eshisayo njengamanje leyo, Lapho ucelwa ukuba ucabangele 2023 dwa, kufanele ame isikhashana ukuvuselela inkumbulo yakhe. "Coachella. Ingoma Yami Yokuqala Yamashadi. Futhi abesifazane be-billboard emculweni bekungunyaka, ngakwesokudla?" (Bekuyi. Uwine umklomelo we-Rising Star Award.) Ukubeka izinhloso kusebenze kahle i-doechii kuze kube manje. Ngakho-ke lapho ethi, "Ekugcineni, Kungaba kuhle uma ngabe abantu becabanga 'ngamasiko e-pop,'Babecabanga ngami," Kunzima ukungavumeli nge-nod ekwazini ukuvumelana.

Ngosuku lwekholi yethu, I-DoECHII yakamuva eyodwa, "Kuyini (Vimba umfana)," ifinyelela inani eliphakeme kumashadi, intshi esondela e-Billboard's Phezulu 50. Ingoma yakhe yokuqala yokwenza lokho. Ingoma, a "nostalgic" I-R & B ANTTEM ukuthi ingabe imibala yangaphambili ye-buttery yakhe, kuyinto pivot kusuka imilolotelo enzima yokushaya akhombisa ukuthi wenza ama-ratict enza ama-raties afana nonyaka odlule "-Phambene" Kepha umculi, Ngubani obabala uLauryn Hill no-Erykah Badu njengezikhuthazo ezibalulekile, bekulokhu kungukuthile kwe-chameleon yomculo. I-tampa, Ukusebenza okuhlukahlukene kwe-Florida kwendabuko kuyingxenye yesikhalazo sakhe. Yilokho okutholakele ekuzijabuliseni okuphezulu kwe-dawg, Ngubani ngonyaka owedlule wambhalisa njengokwakhiwa kowesifazane wokuqala kuhlu lwabo.

I-DoECHII ayizange iqale ngezifiso ezinkulu zelebula. Umculi waqala ngokwenza umculo wakhe lapho esaba khona ekwenzeni i-Arts High School, Amaphrojekthi wokuxhasa imali ngemali awenza esiteshini sakhe esidumile se-YouTube futhi "Hlala uvukile, Hlala umnyama" I-Hoodie Business. Kepha ngemuva kwempumelelo yakhe yasekhaya 2020 Oh izindawo ozoya e-EP (kanye ne-tiktok igciwane linye "Yucky blucky izithelo"), UDoCechii wayazi ukuthi ukusayina kwakuyisinyathelo esilandelayo semvelo. "Angifuni nje ukuba ngumculi ozimele, " uyavuma. "Ngifuna ukuba yi-superstar yomhlaba." Naphezu kwenzalo yensimu evela kumalebula amaningi, I-DoECHII yafika nge-TDE ngenxa yefa layo nenkululeko yokudala ayizwayo. "Hlanganisa, Kungumnyama ongumnyama," uyanezela. "Futhi lokho bekubaluleke kakhulu kimi."

Ukuba selebula elenziwe kwaduma ngezinkanyezi ezinjengeKendrick Lamar no-Sza, ngokwendabuko, woza nenani elifanele "ingcindezi enhle." Kepha njengomuntu owayeyindawo yokuzivocavoca, I-DoECHII iyachuma ngesiyalo esihleliwe. Kusukela ukusayina, Ukhulisa kuphela okulandelayo, Ukuthola abalandeli abasha ngesihloko esinesihloko, I-EPS ENG CHE / yona / bitch emnyama. (Isihloko esivela njengehlaya kubhekiselwa ku-kendrick Lamar's "Amakhaya amancane" Inkampani yezokukhiqiza kanye ne-Diahann Carloll Line kalayini mayelana nokuba "ukulunywa okumnyama kokuqala kuthelevishini.") Ubuye abe yinhlangano ebonakalayo. Ngemuva kokuqothula isigaba sabaqeqeshi kulokhu okwedlule ngo-Ephreli (kanye nemiklomelo yokubheja ehlobo eledlule), Manje usezovulela ukuvula ukuvakasha kwe-DOJA Cat okulindelwe kakhulu kulokhu kuwa.

Futhi lokho akufanele asho umsebenzi wakhe esikrinini. Ekuqaleni konyaka, UDoCechii uvele emhlabeni mama, USavanaf Leaf wamangalela ngokuhlolisisa i-A24 DEBUT mayelana nezinkinga zikamama okhulelwe ohlelweni lwezomthetho. Ukudlala i-protagonist's super ngokwenkolo (nangezikhathi ekwahlulela ngazo) abangane abathandanayo, I-DoECHII ikhombise ukusakazwa kwemvelo esikrinini yize kungamangali kunoma ngubani obone amavidiyo akhe omculo. "Ngendlela efanayo engiyithinta ngayo emizweni yangempela esiteji iyindlela efanayo engiyithinta ngayo kukhamera," Umdwebi uthi ngesipiliyoni sakhe sokuqala esisebenzayo. "Ngihlangana kakhulu nemizwa yami, Futhi ngithanda ukuzisebenzisa noma nini lapho ngenza."

Kuyamangalisa lokho akuthola ngenkathi kuhlala kweqiniso ngokuphelele kuye. Njengenhlangano evunyelwe ye-Textbook Leo, I-DoECHII inamaphoyisa ekubeni "Ukuvelela kakhulu futhi kuthembekile futhi kuyaqhakaza, Kepha futhi phansi emhlabeni." Umuntu angakuzwa ukuthi uLeo wakhe athanda ukuzethemba ngendlela asanda kuhambisa esidlangalaleni. Noma ngabe usahlala phakathi "redneck, sobiso bendlubabayo, I-Homophobic" I-tampa, Uyakhumbula uzitshela, "Kulungile, intombi, uthanda amantombazane. Onikeza i-fuck?" (Okuwukuphela komunye umuntu we-quer ayekwazi edolobheni lakubo, UMathethe, Usenza izinwele zakhe kuze kube namuhla.) Futhi manje, Njengoba i-doechii icindezela njalo ekujuleni kwenhliziyo, Ugcine leso simo sengqondo, ngokuziqhenya ukuxoxa nge-bisexualy ngomculo wakhe ngezingoma zakhe, ukushaya, nokubukwayo, njengoba enza nge-ballroom athonywa "Uyakholisa." "Akuyona nje isivumelwano esikhulu. Ngithanda nje ukuthi ngithanda nto engimthandayo futhi kunjalo."

Uthole okuningi ngesikhathi se-TW ender 24 (cishe 25, Noma ethanda ukuhlekisa ukuthi usezojika 21), Kepha kusenezinye izinto uDeCHII afisa ukufeza njengoba umsebenzi wakhe uyaqhubeka. "Ngivulekele ukwenza cishe noma yini ebhizinisini lezokuzijabulisa," Usho ngokukhohlisa. "Usuku olulodwa, Ngifuna ukuqondisa. Mhlawumbe ngizoba ngemfashini. Anginangqondo ngalutho." Lapho icindezelwa cishe uhlelo lweminyaka emihlanu, Ukhuluma ngokufuna "isando i-albhamu minyaka yonke iminyaka emithathu ezayo." Futhi emva kwalokho? "Thatha unyaka uphume bese ubuya ne-albhamu yabantu e-fucking to piss abantu bese uyiba yi-albhamu ezondwa kakhulu yesikhathi sonke."

Ngicabanga ukuthi uyahlekisa, Kepha nge-doechii, umuntu kufanele alindele njalo okungalindelekile. Ungitshela okuningi lapho ehlekisa nge-albhamu yakhe enkulu ezayo ye-moncilo., okucebile kusaqhubeka ku-a 2023 phumuza. ("Nakanjani ngaphambi kokuthi ngihambe nge-doja," Uyathembisa.) "Y'all izodansa. Kuzojabulisa ngempela," Uyayeka. Ugcina ukuvalwa ngokuqinile ngokunye, eqinisekisa kuphela ukuthi iphrojekthi entsha izoba umqondo kangako kunanoma yini enye e-discography yakhe. Kuzoba enye i-pivot ye-doechii, Noma into eyodwa iye yahlala injalo. "Angifuni ukunikela noma yini kude," uthi. "Kepha ngidale ngenhloso ecacile."
