Critical Praise:
“At 21-years-old, the gutsy ‘Queen of Teens’ is super confident and focused on becoming the best. Her bright-colored style matches her bold personality. Whether she’s approaching a track with her loaded bars or a melodic sang-rap flow, the Dallas, Texas powerhouse says everything with her chest” – The FADER
“Asian Doll comes into battle with her grill bared and claws ready for combat.” – FACT Mag
“She’s locked in for her most charismatic performance; “Road Runner” dazzles throughout, delivered fiercely enough to make every line land with purpose.” – Pitchfork
“As the recently-signed first lady of Gucci Mane’s 1017 Eskimo Records, the 21-year-old’s aggressively real bars paired with her show-stopping sense of style showcase her as one of the most promising acts. Her music and personality earned her co-signs from industry legends such as Nicki Minaj, Erykah Badu, and of course, her mentor Gucci Mane.” – Billboard
“Asian Doll probably goes harder than your favorite rapper, and she isn’t slowing down anytime soon.” – PAPER Mag
The Video:
Combining wit, ferocity, and fashionable flair, Asian Da Brat (fka Asian Doll) is a rapper and cultural figure who deserves your stan. Taking a trip to France for the heist of a lifetime, Asian shares “Draco,“her kinetic new video. With audio premiered earlier this week by Highsnobiety, “Draco” is a stuttering, bass-heavy bop, as Asian and guest Smokepurpp trade soft-spoken bon mots above distorted blasts of low-end. In the video, Asian and Purpp experience a taste of the high life in a Parisian art gallery. Unbeknownst to the gallery’s bearded proprietor, the two Alamo Records labelmates are casing the joint for a daring heist. “Draco” is the lead single from UNFUCCWITABLE, Asian Da Brat’s new project, arriving on May 3rd via 1017 Eskimo/Alamo.
Shedding her Doll identity and re-affirming her place as one of rap’s most colorful personalities, Asian Da Brat recently eclipsed 1 million followers on Instagram. The follow-up to October’s So Icy Princess mixtape, UNFUCCWITABLE is an extraordinarily confident release, as Asian gleefully switches up her style from track to track, alternating defiant kiss-offs with sultry love songs and titanic flexes. Featuring appearances from Lil Durk, Smokepurpp, Calboy, Smooky Margielaa, Stunna4Vegas, Yung Mal, and PNB Meen, UNFUCCWITABLE finds the Dallas rapper coming into her own, embodying a glamorous and candy-colored vision of rap’s future.
