Congratulations to Dochi because she has finally reached the point in stardom that people start to hate on you. Now as far as reaching the masses and definitely putting out high quality music when it comes from a rapping standpoint. Once a lot of brands are involved and people obviously see that you are the next superstar as far as in this rap game, a lot of sentiments. are going to be made towards your way in a negative light. And that's usually what it comes with effect in the masses. So as far as Dochi and having the 21st most play album in the world currently, with alligator bites never heal. And then as far as denial is a river being the 25th most played track in the world,

being on a chart for about eight weeks. And then X-Roll with Jenny being the 75th most play track in the world. And that was just released like a week ago. Now we have anxiety that was released Wednesday. So as far as this particular track, anxiety that the segment is covering, it was originally recorded in 2019 for Coven Music Sessions and it was a self-released mixtape by Dochi. So when it comes to the snippet of anxiety and then when it comes to the original recording of it, it was recorded in 2019, right, for Coven Music Sessions.

But of course, a lot of people are getting at Dochi because of her use of the sample of, hopefully I'm not butchering this, but Gottye and Kimberra's 2011 hit somebody that I used to know. Now, of course, everybody knows that track. Everybody knows the melody as far as the chorus, the bridge, everything about that track is phenomenal. So whenever you're doing and whenever you're using that as a sample in your track, you already know that people are going to jump out of the woodworks to hate on you because guess what that means somebody who made that classic song had it clear for you to put it out on DSPs that's how this works on the big stage right so now that you have this sample under your belt as far as anxiety people are going to hate

because guess what now when you use a popular sample like this is a higher percentage that people would gravitate towards it because of one and the nostalgia factor which is why you hear samples and some of the biggest songs in the world currently and in the past but two dochi who is a winner of the best rap album as far as their grimmies for the year of 2025 her having this sample just catapults her to another yet another project that should be highly acclaimed when it comes to critics i think they're shaping dochey up to be i don't want to be disrespectful and call her like the female Kendrick. But I want to say as far as

Grammy status and Grammy wins, I think they're shaping Dochi up to win a plethora of awards. When I tell you that Dochi is being set up right now and deservedly so, because she's immensely talented. I'm just letting y'all know as far as

in the future, I think she's going to be winning a lot more Grammys. And I don't think she's going to be like Lauren B and Laura B, that's funny I don't think she's going to be like Lauren Hill and Cardi B as far as them winning rap album of the at the Grammys and then not putting out another body of work don't you would be the first female rapper ever to follow up her rap album of the year after winning it at the Grammys think about that Lauren Hill won rap album of the year and basically stopped putting out music Cardi B won rap album of

year and we ain't heard from her since as far as as a body of work right now dochi obviously with anxiety with denial is a river with uh the track with uh jenny title extra we already know that she is shaping up for yet another monument to run because there's a lot of backing behind these releases i mean the budget is insane especially for the track extra with jenny you can see that entire but not entire budget but you can see how big that budget is when you watch the music video. I mean, that is probably one of the more highly produced music videos from a rapper. Because you already know the tendencies of having bottles, girls, and then that's basically

in the video and them throwing a lot of money, right? But the way that Dochi and Jenny had extra, very extra when it came to production, just showcases you, just showcases where the budget is going. So as far as me listening to the track, I enjoyed it. I don't think Dochi is my type of artist, because when I listen to her, it's almost as if she's rapping in a way that is like for another section of the world,

if that makes sense. Like, I think for me and the things that I do on a day-to-day basis is not, does not correlate with what Dochey raps about. because as a guy, girls rapping about certain things about guys basically is not relatable, to say the least. You know what I'm saying? It's almost if, well, it's exactly like when Nikki comes out, she raps and basically says a lot of things that she would do to a guy, right?

It's like, hey, I can't relate, buddy. You know what I'm saying? So that's the only thing. When it comes to Doshi, I think she's phenomenal. But as far as me listening to her, like, on an everyday basis, I just, I just, I just don't relate. Not saying this bad. I just don't relate.

So with that being said, anxiety is out now on all DSPs. Dochi is shaping up to be one of the more pivotal artists when it comes to hip hop status and what we look at as far as high quality. So it seems like she's definitely set up to be one of the better rappers in the next four to five years. So with that being said, click my link to your in my bio. Let me know on one of my social medias. Have you listened to the track, Anxiety by Dochi? And as far as anxiety, denial is a river and extra, what is your favorite track from the three?
