Arkeisha Antoinette Knight, known professionally as Kash Doll, is an American rapper signed to Republic Records. She is best known for her singles "For Everybody" (2017) and "Ice Me Out" (2018), the latter of which became the lead single from her debut album Stacked. Kash Doll has collaborated with artists including Meek Mill, Big Sean, Iggy Azalea, and K. Michelle.[1]

Early life[]

Kash Doll was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. The oldest of six siblings, she began working at a young age to help her single mother support their family.[2] She desired to rap from childhood and began to freestyle and write lyrics as a young girl.[1][3]

She attended Henry Ford College for business management but left after a year. To support the financial needs of her family, Kash began work as a strip club dancer.[4] While working as a dancer, Kash would rap and began earning money from patrons of the nightclub without having to dance. It was reported that one night she made $26,000.[5]

Career[]

Early in her career, Kash Doll performed in local clubs and at schools and doing charity events in the Detroit area.[4] Kash Doll later signed a deal with a local record company in Detroit which later fell through. She then began using social media to build a following by releasing short videos of herself rapping. Drake used Instagram to invite her to open a show for him on his Summer Sixteen tour stop in Detroit.[1][5]

Kash Doll remixed Tinashe's single "2 On" in 2015. She then released a video for a single called "Run Me My Money", which went viral in 2015. That same year she released her mixtape, Keisha vs Kash Doll.[1] In December 2017, Kash Doll appeared on Big Sean and Metro Boomin's single "So Good".[6] After being released from her previous deal, on July 16, 2018 she released an EP called The Vault on streaming platforms. One music video from the EP, "For Everybody", received over 10 million views on YouTube.[7]

She released a mixtape called Brat Mail on her birthday in 2018. It was dedicated to her fans, who she refers to as "bratz".[8] In August 2018, Kash Doll signed a record deal with Republic Records. She then released her first single as a part of that deal, "Ice Me Out".[9] Kash Doll released a single called "Hustla" in April 2019, which highlights her experiences from working at strip clubs. She stated that she is trying to awareness for and advocate on behalf of the women in that industry.[4][10] On June 7, 2019, Kash Doll released a new single titled "Kitten" that features American rapper Lil Wayne. Kash Doll featured on Australian rapper Iggy Azalea's single "Fuck It Up"[11] from Azalea's 2019 studio album, In My Defense. Kash Doll was also an opening performer for Meek Mill's 2019 The Motivation Tour.[6][12]
