Doechii is hard at work rehearsing for an upcoming gig … quite possibly for music’s biggest night in a couple weeks, where she’s vying for some of the top honors.

We ran into the Florida rapper outside a Los Angeles stage space Wednesday and asked her about her Grammy nominations — she’s been nominated in 3 categories, including Best New Artist, Best Rap Performance, and Best Rap Album.

As the only female in the hip hop category, she’s aware she’s representing women in rap this year … and she’s honored, and excited about it.

The reigning rap king himself, Kendrick Lamar, has personally dubbed Doechii “the hardest” of all rappers out there right now, male or female … and she’s often mentioned in the same breath as artists Glorilla and Megan Thee Stallion, who’ve been leaving the men in the dust lately.

If Doechii pulls any wins on Feb 2, she tells us she’ll speak from the heart — the “Denial Is a River” rapper says she doesn’t know what she’s going to say … and she’s not preparing a speech either.

As for the wildfires that ravaged Los Angeles this month, destroying huge areas of the city, displacing thousands of people, and killing at least 27, she says it’s heartwarming how the city has come together … and she loves the support people have for each other in the wake of the tragedy.

Watch the video … Doechii tells us what she has in store for 2025.
