Pierre and NPR's Stephen Thompson both called her rapping style "combative". Uproxxs Aaron Williams also wrote in 2020 that she has "an unconventional flow and a quirky ear for beats". Jordan Darville, for The Fader, wrote that her 2024 album Castle showcased her "experimental tendencies". Hook has stated that her primary musical inspiration is Back from the Dead, a 2012 mixtape by Chief Keef, which she listened to while high on psychedelics and was inspired by its experimental nature. She has also said that she is inspired by artists she was introduced to by her parents growing up: R&B artists such as Mary J. Blige and SWV from her mother, chopped and screwed music from her biological father, and hip hop artists such as Rick Ross and Nipsey Hussle from her stepfather.
