Doja Cat Essentials
Doja Cat’s fierce style, sweet singing voice, and hard-edged rapping catapulted her to the top of the pops as the 2020s began. Her uncanny ability to add high-concept hooks—the extended “oooh”-ing that gives “Mooo!” its bovine appeal, the runway-ready chorus of “Boss Bitch”—to undeniably catchy pop confections helped, too. Doja’s breakout hit “Say So” gleams and bounces like a freshly blown bubble; her earlier single “Candy” pairs sulking with innuendo and knotty synths; and her collaborations with high-flying MCs like Gucci Mane and Rico Nasty prove that she can hang on record with hip-hop’s biggest names.
Doja Cat Video Essentials
Doja Cat’s brash, self-affirming take on hip-pop is exceeded in scope only by her videos, which take the multitalented singer to fantastical places in the world and inside her own head. The fruitopia of “Juicy,” the ’90s fever dream of “Tia Tamera,” and the slick sparkle of “Say So” all present different sides of the hitmaker’s larger-than-life personality.
Doja Cat Influences
Even before this pandemic hit, Doja Cat was already mastering the art of social distancing. “This was my life for a while, so I’m thriving right now,” Doja tells Apple Music. “I like not leaving the house.” In her interview for Apple Music’s At Home With series, the Los Angeles rapper/singer says she’s keeping busy by writing music, playing Minecraft, dressing up like an elf, and making significant moves towards healthy eating and vegetarianism ("I've been eating Subway, but I only eat the veggie sandwiches," she explains). On this exclusive Apple Music playlist curated by Doja herself, she’s included tracks by Lil Uzi Vert, Death Grips, Wintertime, and Gwen Stefani, whom she's been idolizing since she was young. “I was obsessed with her,” says Doja. “She could never do anything wrong, ever.”
