Doechii just gave us all the feels with a tribute to Lauryn Hill that’s as powerful as it is real—especially after gracing the stage with the legend herself.
The rising star took to Instagram to reflect on how Hill’s music has shaped her, from her early years of belting out The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill to carrying Lauryn’s wisdom with her every step of the way in her career.
“My mom would play it from top to bottom every day on my way to school for years,” she continued, showing just how deep the connection runs.
The love for Lauryn runs so deep that Doechii would belt out Hill’s lyrics like she wrote them herself, imagining herself on stage. “Each song deepened my love for music and my curiosity to write raps,” Doechii confessed, as if she wasn’t already a whole star in her own right. But the cherry on top?
Her favourite lyric from Doo Wop (That Thing): “don’t be a hard rock when you really are a gem.” That line stayed with her through thick and thin, reminding her to stay grounded when life tempted her to harden her heart and get “even.”
And let’s not forget—this isn’t just some casual shout-out. Doechii made it clear that Lauryn’s principles are woven into the very fabric of her own growth, both as an artist and as a person. “I carried your principles with me during my coming of age. And I carry them with me now at this current stage of my career,” she wrote, solidifying Lauryn Hill’s eternal influence on her.
Closing it out with the ultimate praise, Doechii said, “Thank you Miss Lauryn Hill. This is the greatest honour hip hop could give me. Praise God.” We see you, Doechii. And Lauryn Hill, you’ve got a whole new generation of fire under your influence.
