Jaylah Ji'mya Hickmon (born August 14, 1998), known professionally as Doechii, is an American rapper and singer. After her songs went viral on TikTok in 2021, she signed recording contracts with Top Dawg Entertainment and Capitol Records in 2022. Her 2023 single, "What It Is (Block Boy)" (featuring Kodak Black), marked her first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 and received platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). That same year, she made her acting debut with the drama film Earth Mama.

Doechii's second mixtape, Alligator Bites Never Heal (2024), peaked within the top ten of the Billboard 200 and was met with critical acclaim. It won Best Rap Album at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards—making her the third woman to win the category—and spawned the singles "Nissan Altima", "Boom Bap", and "Denial Is a River". Its bonus single, "Anxiety", became her first song to peak within the Billboard Hot 100's top ten; its music video won the Grammy Award for Best Music Video. She also appeared on the remix of the Weeknd and Playboi Carti's 2025 single "Timeless".

Doechii has guest appeared on several tracks including Tyler, the Creator's "Balloon" (2024) and Jennie's "ExtraL" (2025). Her accolades include two Grammy Awards, two MTV Video Music Awards, a BET Award, and nominations for two Soul Train Music Awards. Additionally, Billboard Women in Music named her a Rising Star in 2023 and Woman of the Year in 2025.
