Capitol Records and Top Dawg Entertainment Announce Partnership, Present Artist Doechii
In honor of Capitol’s collaboration with the powerhouse independent label, the Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE) flag is flying high above the historic Capitol Records Tower in Hollywood today. The two labels have teamed up to present Doechii, a highly anticipated talent.
Doechii is a Tampa-based rapper/singer/dancer/genre-disruptor/fashionista who caught fire on the Internet with her EPs Places You’ll Go and BRA-LESS, and single “Yucky Blucky Fruitcake.”
“The legacy of Capitol and TDE continues with me and my fans…and the legacy of my music starts right here, right now,” said Doechii.
“Top Dawg Entertainment is excited to partner with Capitol Records to provide a platform for Doechii to fulfill her artistic ambitions,” says Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith, founder of Top Dawg Entertainment. “Doechii’s energy is contagious and, together with Capitol, we’re committed to helping her share her gifts with the world.”
“The first time I heard Doechii’s music, I experienced that incredible chill-inducing feeling that I live for, as both a music executive and music fan,” recalls Michelle Jubelirer, Chair & CEO, Capitol Music Group. “That feeling has only grown deeper as I’ve gotten to know this amazing young artist and heard more of what she’s been creating in the studio. It’s a real honor to be partnering with Top Dawg and TDE as we work to introduce Doechii to audiences around the world and help her develop into the global superstar we know that she’ll become.”
Doechii’s debut TDE track, “Persuasive,” which was produced by Kal Banks and executive produced by Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith, was released last week.

Top Dawg Entertainment Signs Tampa Rapper Doechii To Its Roster
Upcoming Tampa rapper, Doechii formerly known as Iamdoechii is joining Top Dawg Entertainment. HITS Daily Double reported Tuesday that Doechii has signed a deal with the West Coast label.
2021 was a break out year for the Isaiah Rashad collaborator who gained momentum with a new audience from her viral TikTok song “Yucky Blucky Fruitcake” and a feature on “Wat U Sed” from Rashad’s The House Is Burning LP.
The announcement comes after fans have been wondering what the future looks like for TDE.
In August, Kendrick Lamar shocked the world when he announced his next album would be his final for the famed label.
Doechii brings a mixture of Hip Hop, R&B and Electro-Pop. The new TDE signee took to social media to promote her next feature on David Guetta and Afrojack’s “Trampoline” which also boast collabs from Missy Elliott and Bia.

TDE Label Boss Terrence ‘Punch’ Henderson Announced His ‘A Room Full Of Mirrors’ Collective
It’s well-known in LA circles that Terrence “Punch” Henderson has plenty of artistic and musical talent of his own, even though he’s spent the last several years as one of the architects behind the Top Dawg Entertainment empire. Now, Punch is readying another collective, and the trailer for what they’re about to do just dropped yesterday. A Room Full Of Mirrors will feature Punch alongside other artists like Nick Grant, DayLyt, Earlee Riser, Billymarie, Lyric Michelle, Ichiban Don, Hari and Jrias Law. They released “Mirrors” back in February and “RawR” in April to preview their first EP together, and now that project is only a few days away.
To further whet fans’ appetites, last night they dropped a trailer that revealed the EP title and gave a taste of what’s to come. Money Bags is teased in the minute-long clip (above) as a visual EP, with some clear inspirations from Quentin Tarantino and Reservoir Dogs. The film was directed by Lyric Michelle, and as far as the music, most of the project was produced by Hari and “and constructed from a narrative and detail standpoint by Punch himself.” Punch has overseen every release for TDE, so needless to say he knows how to roll an album out. Check out the preview for Money Bags above, dropping in just a few days on November 17.
