Jaylah Ji'mya Hickmon (born August 14, 1998), known professionally as Doechii (/ˈdoʊtʃi/), is an American rapper and songwriter. She rose to prominence on TikTok with the viral success of her 2021 song "Yucky Blucky Fruitcake". She signed with Top Dawg Entertainment, in a joint venture with Capitol Records, to release her debut extended play, She / Her / Black Bitch (2022). Her 2023 single "What It Is (Block Boy)" (featuring Kodak Black) marked her first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
Doechii's third mixtape, Alligator Bites Never Heal (2024), was met with generally favorable reviews and won Best Rap Album at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards; this made her the third female artist to win in the category.[1] The mixtape also spawned her second Billboard Hot 100 entry, "Denial Is a River".
