“My entire body is vibrating with joy right now,” Doechii says after Best Rap Album-winning artists link up at Jazz in the Gardens Music Festival
Ms. Lauryn Hill brought out surprise guest Doechii to perform “Doo Wop (That Thing)” at the Fugees singer’s concert Saturday in Miami.
During her set at the Jazz in the Gardens Music Festival, Hill told the crowd “I want to introduce y’all to another sistah” before welcoming the Grammy-winning rapper — Hill (with the Fugees) and Doechii are two of the only three women to ever win Best Rap Album, along with Cardi B — to the stage.
Following the passing-of-the-torch performance, Doechii reflected on the moment on social media. “Thank you Miss Lauryn Hill. Thank you. My heart is so full. She is my hero. This is the greatest honor hip hop could give me. Praise God,” Doechii wrote. “My entire body is vibrating with joy right now. I’ll never forget this day! EVER!”
The “Denial Is a River” rapper added, “I never been so nervous in my life 😭 she is a QUEEN.”
Doechii recently performed at part of the Best New Artist showcase at the Grammys, where her Alligator Bites Never Heal won Best Rap Album; she followed up Music’s Biggest Night with a pair of new singles, “Nosebleeds” and “Anxiety.”
Hill was among the many artists to take part in the SNL 50th anniversary homecoming concert, rejoining her Fugees band mate Wyclef Jean for a four-song set.
