Multi-platinum rapper and record producer Doja Cat has officially released “Freak” at all digital service providers via Kemosabe/RCA Records.
The track, which Doja initially uploaded to her SoundCloud last year quickly became a viral sensation on TikTok with over 1.2 million original creations. With over five million streams on SoundCloud, she treats fans by releasing the full track across all platforms while she works on new music.
Doja was one of the performers at the VMAs—which aired live on MTV on Aug. 30—where she was nominated for three awards.
Born and raised in L.A., Doja Cat made her first upload to Soundcloud in 2013 at just 16 years old. She developed a knack for music by studying piano and dance as a kid and listening to the likes of Busta Rhymes, Erykah Badu, Nicki Minaj, and Drake. Soon, she went from obsessing over Catwoman (the Halle Berry version) to “crate digging” on YouTube. The budding talent taught herself Logic and how to compose on a midi controller.
Signed to RCA during 2014, she has released her Purrr! EP and followed with her debut album Amala in spring 2018, but it was her August 2018 release of “Mooo!” which catapulted her into the mainstream and was met with critical acclaim.
In 2019, she was named the iHeart Radio “On The Verge” artist, with “Juicy” reaching #1 on the Rhythm radio chart and top 10 at Urban. Hot Pink has received rave reviews in the press and continues to be recognized as her strongest work to date with nearly 2 billion streams and video views combined.
