Tyler, The Creator is a huge fan of Doechii and gave the Florida-bred artist all her flowers during a recent interview.
In a new conversation with the one-and-only Nardwuar, Tyler was quick to praise Doechii when her name came up and explained how he found out about her.
“Genius, love her. That girl’s an alien. She’s an alien,” he said, “I came across Doechii on something that YouTube recommended. It was the ‘Catfish’ record or ‘Nissan Altima.’ I was like, ‘What is this? Damn, this girl pretty as hell.’ And I clicked it and I was blown away and I just kept going and kept going and kept going.”
He continued: “I was like ‘Oh my God!’ and then I DMd her and I was like, ‘N-gga, I’m gonna need you in a few months!’ And then we linked and yeah, she’s incredible. I’m so happy that she [won a Grammy] and she’s in folks’ faces and we have to just keep supporting artists who care about things.”

The love is definitely mutual, as Doechii named Tyler, The Creator as one of her favorite artists during an interview last September.

The Swamp Princess chopped it up with Ebro Darden for Apple Music, and when the pair got into her current playlist, she had a handful of names she’s currently rocking with.
“Lately I’ve been into a lot of MF DOOM, rest in peace,” she began. “Westside Gunn — he’s so talented. So incredible. Tyler, The Creator, JAY-Z. I’m from the south so I didn’t grow up on a lot of JAY-Z, but I recently went through all of his discography. Oh my God! Everybody knows he’s crazy but damn! Hearing his growth?! Wow, so incredible. He’s so cool.”
Elsewhere in the chat, Doechii spoke about her love of rap music and argued that the core elements of the genre matter now more than ever.
“When people are listening to this project, they’re really witnessing me reconnect with my roots. I learned how to rap through boom bap beats, through classic beats. My first rap that I ever made was a diss track,” she began.

“With me kinda coming back to myself … I kinda re-fell in love with Hip Hop. And realized that there is a sense of tradition in Hip Hop that I really want to represent and bring back.”
