She was featured on a remix of The Weeknd’s single “In Your Eyes” in May 2020, as well as on the single “Shimmy” by rapper Lil Wayne from the deluxe version of his 2020 album Funeral. In June, she was featured on the single “Pussy Talk” by the City Girls. She then released the music video for her single “Like That”. At the 20th BET Awards, Doja Cat was nominated for two awards, Best Female Hip Hop Artist and Video of the Year.

Her career began to take shape in 2012. Toward the end of the year, “So High” became the first permanent upload on her SoundCloud account, and soon caught the attention of Dr. Luke, who signed her to Kemosabe Records, RCA Records and publishing company Prescription Songs when she was 17. This deal also came with a temporary artist management partnership with Roc Nation. In August 2014, Doja Cat released her debut EP, Purrr!. “So High” was repackaged and released as her solo commercial debut single prior to the EP’s release, and was later featured on the Fox series Empire in the third episode of the show’s first season.

Doja Cat has described life after dropping out of school as “messy”, claiming that she slept on the floor and spent “all night and day” browsing the internet, looking for beats and instrumentals from YouTube which she downloaded and used to create her own music. She taught herself to sing, rap and use GarageBand while at home without a job, frequently making music and uploading it to SoundCloud. She got her stage name from one of her cats as well as her favorite strain of marijuana, stating, “I was heavily addicted to weed and weed culture, so when I began rapping I thought of the word ‘doja’ and how it sounds like a girl’s name.

Doja Cat has been noted for her musical versatility, including genre fluidity for crossover-ready pop songs and her ability to sing, rap and produce. When asked about her legacy, she revealed that in future she would like to be remembered for her versatility in not only music but also visual art and dance. Her second full-length studio album, Hot Pink, is built with her own beats as well as a series of videos written and conceived by herself. Doja called Hot Pink a firm restart for her career, and the most refined, chiseled representation of herself. Her escapist fantasy worldview is reflected in the music by its upbeat production style. The record was inspired by some drastic lifestyle changes. Find extra info at https://peeptown.com/.
