Are you ready for more Doechii<\/a><\/strong>? The rapper, turning 25 in August, will return to the BET Awards on June 25, performing on stage of the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. Doechii is more than just performing, as she’s up for Best New Artist, along with GloRIlla, Ambr\u00e9, Coco Jones, FLO, Ice Spice, <\/em><\/strong>and Lola Brooke<\/strong>. This marks her second consecutive appearance at the awards show, and proves that she’s one of the rising stars of the genre.<\/p>\n Her appearance comes right as she’s celebrating her first No. 1 song on any Billboard <\/em>chart. Her track, “What It Is (Block Boy), featuring Kodak Black<\/strong>, reached No. 1 on the Rhythmic Airplay chart, per Billboard<\/em>. “‘What It Is’ interpolates a reworked hook from Trillville<\/strong>\u2019s ‘Some Cut,’ featuring Litty<\/strong>, which reached No. 3 on Rhythmic Airplay in 2005,” writes Billboard’s<\/a><\/em> Trevor Anderson<\/strong>, “and a sample of\u00a0TLC<\/strong>\u2019s ‘No Scrubs,’ which topped the chart for a record 15 weeks in 1999.” The chart follows music that blends EDM, upbeat pop, hip-hop, and upbeat R&B.<\/p>\n “My experience growing up in Tampa was really colorful, and being from the South, there’s a lot of culture,” Dochii told NME<\/a> <\/em>in May 2022. “I think Florida is really evolving [musically] after kind of being at a standstill. Kodak Black<\/strong> was kind of carrying hip-hop in Florida for a long time, but now the sound is starting to evolve, and a lot of artists are finally breaking through. People are really starting to take notice of all the different sounds, which is really beautiful.”<\/p>\n Doechii said she wrote her first song in the sixth grade. From there, a love of music flourished, and she continued her ambitions of becoming a rapper. These goals led her out of the Sunshine State. Doechii was “living in New York for a while,” she told Rolling Stone<\/a> <\/em>in May 20202. “I went back to Florida for the pandemic, cuz I didn’t wanna be quarantined in New York. I’d rather quarantine, you know, with my family in Florida.”<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/doechii-5-things-to-know-ss-embed1.jpg?resize=620%2C413\")
