She was also ranked number 5 out of 20 on the 2017 Texas Rappers List.

She deems herself a “hood Barbie” due to Nicki Minaj’s influence. Although she looks up to

Nicki, Asian Doll is an original artist. She has an out of this world style to go along with her vibrant personality and lyrics. In addition, her voice is unmatched and cannot be compared.

Asian Doll has been turning down record labels for years due to her wanting to be independent. She promotes her music and fashion on her Instagram and Twitter daily, as well as engaging with fans. The young rapper has also worked with rap star PNB Rock for their song “Poppin”. Along with original music, she remixes hit songs such as Lil Uzi’s “The Way Life Goes,” Kodak Black’s “No Flocking,” and 6ix9ine’s “Gummo.”

Her music is available on iTunes, TIDAL, Spotify, SoundCloud and Spinrilla. She has her own Pandora station too. This is all impressive due to the fact Asian Doll is just 21 years old.
