Doja Cat in 2022

Doja Cat has revealed that she wants to make a hardcore punk record one day.

In a new interview withĀ Variety, Doja explained that she wants to explore punk as a genre more in the hop to make an all-out hardcore punk album one day.

ā€œThis is the manic part. I wasnā€™t gonna tell you. But Iā€™ll just tell you now, because not talking about it is making me annoyed: I want to explore punk,” she told the interviewer. “But not pop-punk. I feel like we have enough pop-punk artists right now. And if there needs to be more, then let there be more, but I donā€™t think Iā€™m the one to do it.”

“I want to explore more of a raw, unfiltered, hardcore punk sort of thing. Itā€™s just something that Iā€™m doing for my own personal fun ā€” getting some drummers and guitarists together. And I donā€™t even know if thatā€™s gonna make it out there.ā€

The singer and rapper,Ā who is nominated for five Grammys at this yearā€™s awards on Sunday (February 5), also revealed to the interviewer that IDLES were her favourite band of last year.

The interviewer noted how during the photo shoot, she replaced the music “on the sound system with the British post-punk group Idles, [who] she plays on a loop for hours. Theyā€™re her favourite band of last year,” the interviewer explained.

Elsewhere in the interview, Doja went on to say she thinks she is discredited as a rapper in the music industry.Ā 

Reflecting on her love of ‘Vegas‘, the Grammy-nominated song (Best Rap Performance) from the ElvisĀ biopic and how it allowed her to return more to rapping, Doja toldĀ Variety: ā€œThat was one of the greatest experiences because everyone knows ā€˜Hound Dogā€™ [the Elvis Presley song from which it interpolates].

ā€œBut I was able to give it my own spin. I went in and I was like, ā€˜Finally, I get to rap again.ā€™ A lot of people discredit me, so itā€™s nice to just put another one in the fucking bucket for a great rap song.ā€

She added that she canā€™t blame casual hip-hop fans for regarding her as a dilettante. ā€œI just got an award [from iHeartRadio] for a billion spins on the radio,ā€ she toldĀ Variety, which is attributed to the popularity of her pop hits ā€˜Say Soā€™, ‘Woman‘ and last yearā€™s Grammy-winning ‘Kiss Me More‘.

ā€œSo with that alone, Iā€™m constantly being shoved down peopleā€™s throats. I would be upset if I saw somebody who has kind of been fed to me as this pop-star girl with a fat ass making it to this level of rap icon, after Iā€™ve only been watching them do disco shit and pop shit all the time,ā€ she added.
