Doechii Drops New Mixtape ‘Alligator Bites Never Heal’

August 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rising star Doechii has released her highly anticipated hip-hop/rap mixtape, Alligator Bites Never Heal, today via Top Dawg Entertainment/Capitol Records. This 19-track project captures Doechii in her rawest form, offering listeners a unique glimpse into her multifaceted artistry. To celebrate the mixtape’s release, she will host a livestream performance tonight at 6:00 PM PT, followed by a live show at Black Market Flea in Los Angeles tomorrow, August 31.

“To my Swamp, my devoted core fans, I hope you cherish this mixtape and create beautiful memories to it. Use my music to encourage you through the rough days and use it to imagine better ones. Allow Alligator Bites Never Heal to inspire you as you all have inspired me. I love you forever.”

– Doechii

On Alligator Bites Never Heal, Doechii fuses her Tampa roots with her current Los Angeles vibe, presenting an eclectic mix of genres, movements, and eras, all condensed into less than an hour of music. The mixtape’s cover art features Doechii as a regal figure in Vivienne Westwood, with beads in her braids and an albino alligator in her lap—a powerful image that demands attention.

The mixtape follows her Eurodance-inspired hit “Alter Ego,” praised by R&B superstar SZA as “the craziest song I’ve heard all year,” and its remix featuring JT. With over 15 million streams on Spotify, “Alter Ego” adds to Doechii’s momentum, along with her recent releases “MPH” and “ROCKET.”

Doechii Shares “BOOM BAP” One Week Ahead Of Her Upcoming Mixtape

August 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s a shame that Doechii doesn’t get as much press as some of the other ladies in hip-hop. She might put the blinders on when it comes to that, but we know that she’s a true superstar in the making. It might have to do with the fact that she just doesn’t have as much material as some of her competitors. Heck, even her past EP-like projects have no more than 9 songs on them. However, that is all going to come to an end soon. Next Friday, August 30, the feisty Florida femcee will be sharing a new mixtape, Alligator Bites Never Heal. To promote the project, Doechii is dropping off a new single from it, “BOOM BAP”.

Like previous promo cuts, “BOOM BAP” is another release under Doechii’s Swamp Session series on YouTube. Past inclusions are “BULLFROG”, “CATFISH”, and “NISSAN ALTIMA”. The release date was announced about a week and a half ago and Doechii is looking forward to showing audiences a different side of Florida hip-hop. “I wanted to take my audience to the swamp. Not a lot of people see that very country Florida environment like that… So, I wanted to take them out of the city and show them a country aesthetic”.

A slice of that “aesthetic” is “BOOM BAP”. It’s a well-executed, multi-faceted track that sees Doechii go from “real rap” to a bouncier, house-like vibe about halfway through. This song is essentially a middle finger to those who think she can only create aggressive rap tracks. It’s done to perfection and its building our anticipation for next week.

“BOOM BAP” – Doechii

Quotable Lyrics:

They want real rap from a b**** like they out-rappin’ a b****
Yeah, she can clap a lil’ bit, do that, they ain’t sayin’ s***
That a** a magnet, I get it, you know, attractive and s***
I just can’t sing a lil’ bit? I mean, that s*** was a hit
You know exactly what it is, the choir gon’ sing what it is
Top one hundred, what it is? Numero uno, what it is?

Doechii’s Freewheeling ‘Boom Bap’ Pokes Fun At The Reputation Of Her Label

August 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Don’t push play on Doechii‘s new single “Boom Bap” expecting its content to match its title. Instead of employing a Pete Rock-esque, jazz-and-breakbeat-sampling instrumental and spitting cerebral battle raps full of witty double entendres, the Florida native instead lampoons such expectations with a jokey, largely improvised vocal performance, scatting and freestyling her way through repeated chants of the title. It’s a wink at the reputation of her label, Top Dawg Entertainment, which for the past decade was largely defined by its roster of heady rappers like Ab-Soul, Isaiah Rashad, and Kendrick Lamar, as well as production that favored ’90s-era styles.

Doechii, however, has done things differently since her first-ever single for the label, “Persuasive,” which employed house production and set her apart from her labelmates in some important ways (she’s also the only woman rapper signed to the label, although SZA’s pen skills have been praised as being very rapper-like). She returned to that style on recent single “Alter Ego” with JT of City Girls, putting her in conflict with Azealia Banks, but further establishing that she’s willing to do things her own way.

“Boom Bap” is due to appear on Doechii’s debut TDE mixtape, Alligator Bites Never Heal, which is due on August 30. You can find more information here.

Doechii Reveals The Country Life-Inspired ‘Alligator Bites Never Heal’ Tracklist

August 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Now that Doechii has revealed the title and release date of her upcoming full-length project, Alligator Bites Never Heal, she’s followed up with the countrified tracklist. The Florida native’s debut mixtape features 19 tracks with titles such as “Boiled Peanuts” and “Fireflies,” while there’s only one listed feature: Atlanta rapper Kuntfetish. You can see the tracklist below.

Previously released songs “Bullfrog,” “Catfish,” and “Nissan Altima,” all appear on the tracklist, while “Alter Ego” with JT, “Florida Wata,” and “Sunday’s Best” do not (whether this means an extended version featuring these songs is also in the works remains to be seen). The Top Dawg Entertainment rapper also hasn’t had too many songs featuring her TDE cohorts — other than SZA, who appeared on her debut single for the label, “Persuasive,” and Isaiah Rashad, who featured her on his songs “Wat U Sed” — so perhaps those are being saved for a future project, as well.

So far, the singles released from Alligator Bites Never Heal have been a departure from the house-inspired cuts that had become her signature. Now that she’s branching out, it seems that her haters will have to find something else to nitpick.

Alligator Bites Never Heal is due on 8/30 via Top Dawg Entertainment. You can find more information here. See below for the tracklist.

01. “Stanka Pooh”
02. “Bullfrog”
03. “Boiled Peanuts”
04. “Denial Is A River”
05. “Catfish”
06. “Skipp”
07. “Hide N Seek”
08. “Bloom”
09. “Wait”
10. “Death Roll”
11. “Profit”
12. “Boom Bap”
13. “Nissan Altima”
14. “GTFO” Feat. Kuntfetish
15. “Huh!”
16. “Slide”
17. “Fireflies”
18. “Beverly Hills”
19. “Alligator Bites Never Heal”

TDE Drops Release Date For Doechii Mixtape “Alligator Bites Never Heal”

August 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Doechii is ready for her big moment. The rapper broke out with the single “What It Is” in 2023, but she has a lot more up her sleeve. Top Dawg Entertainment is positioning her to be a star, and the signee is gearing up for the release of her third mixtape, Alligator Bites Never Heal, as a result. The mixtape is a notable step forward for Doechii, as it will mark the first full-length project she’s dropped since signing with TDE in 2022. We not only have a title and a striking mixtape cover, but a proper release date.

TDE unveiled Doechii’s mixtape to the world on August 14. The label tweeted out the cover, which sees the rapper holding an albino alligator (naturally). The most exciting part of the announcement, though, was the release date. Fans won’t have to wait long to hear Doechii’s latest offering, because its set for release on August 30. It’s a quick turnaround, but it makes sense given the promise that TDE made in January. A document was passed around at an Isaiah Rashad featured the names of every artist on the TDE roster. The conclusion that was drawn was that every one of them plan to drop a new album in the calendar year.

Doechii talked about the inspiration behind her upcoming mixtape back in May. She voiced a desire to embody her Florida upbringing, and showcase cultures that most rap fans don’t see. “I wanted to take my audience to the swamp,” she told Elle Magazine. “Not a lot of people see that very country Florida environment like that. Usually when people think of Florida, they think of Miami. So I wanted to take them out of the city and show them a country aesthetic. I’m gearing up for an album.”

The mixtape’s title, Alligator Bites Never Heal, certainly speaks to the swamp aesthetic Doechii is going for. The mixtape will also come out on the rapper’s 26th birthday, which she noted on Instagram. “Happy birthday to me,” she wrote in a caption accompanying the mixtape cover. Alligator Bites will feature the rapper’s latest singles, including “NISSAN ALTIMA,” “ROCKET” and “MPH.” It’s also rumored to include the JT collab “Alter Ego.”

Doechii’s Upcoming ‘Alligator Bites Never Heal’ Mixtape Will Be Her Full-Length TDE Debut

August 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Three years after making her Top Dawg Entertainment debut alongside Isiah Rashad on “Wat U Sed,” Tampa rapper Doechii has announced the release date for her first full-length project with the label, the fittingly titled, Alligator Bites Never Heal. She’s been releasing her “Swamp Sessions” videos for the past month, dropping “Bullfrog,” “Catfish,” “Nissan Altima,” “Florida Wata,” and “Sunday’s Best” on her YouTube leading up to the announcement, and on August 30, we’ll see how the full project fits together. Doechii also returned to Twitter (never calling it “X” — Elon doesn’t even do that), giving short explanations of each of the new songs.

In addition to the Swamp Sessions, Doechii teamed up with fellow Florida native JT on “Alter Ego” and released the nostalgic video for “Rocket in conjunction with Sprite’s Limelight series. While fans may think that the gap between Doechii’s introductory EP she/her/black b*tch and her first full-length project has been too long, Top Dawg Entertainment has never rushed perfection, allowing artists like Kendrick Lamar, Isaiah Rashad, Ab-Soul, Schoolboy Q, Jay Rock, and SZA to take five years or more between albums — a bet that seemingly pays off every time. It’s good to see they trusted the same process with the outspoken Doechii; August 30 can’t get here soon enough.

Alligator Bites Never Heal is due on 8/30 via Top Dawg Entertainment. You can find more information here.

Doechii Adds New Entries To Her Swamp Sessions Series With “NISSAN ALTIMA” & “FLORIDA WATA”

August 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Doechii continues to be one of TDE’s most exciting stories. The Tampa, Florida multi-hyphenate has been on one heck of run this year, dropping single after single. However, she isn’t just releasing music to get it out there, she’s putting out quality and hits to boot. Overall, her biggest success of the year so far is “Alter Ego” with JT. The dance/hip-hop fusion is one of the catchiest songs through these first eight months. Moreover, this single proves a couple of things to us. She’s extremely creative/versatile and it displays her ability to pen all sorts of tones and moods. These skills continue to be sharpened on Doechii’s most recent offerings which are “NISSAN ALTIMA” and “FLORIDA WATA”.

Both of these tracks are byproducts of the 25-year-old’s “Swamp Sessions”. It’s a series on her YouTube channel that includes shorter recordings which could potentially be fleshed out more. Usually, these kinds of tracks tend to sound extremely unfinished. However, Doechii is putting so much effort into these 1–2-minute offerings. Both “NISSAN ALTIMA” and “FLORIDA WATA” are produced very well and have a concrete topical to them. The former, now on streaming, sees Doechii rap with tons of conviction about her place in the game. Then, on the latter, she gets real about being sober for 90 days and encourages listeners to be themselves and live the life you want to lead. She’s really out here dropping gems, and we hope it continues.

“NISSAN ALTIMA” & “FLORIDA WATA”- Doechii

Quotable Lyrics From “NISSAN ALTIMA”:

I’m the new hip-hop Madonna
I’m the trap Grace Jones
I don’t know what type of motherf***in’ crack they on
I’m like Carrie Bradshaw with a back brace on
I been carrying you b****es now for way too long

Doechii Is Done Jumping Through Hoops For A Bad Boyfriend In Her Nostalgic ‘Rocket’ Video

June 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Doechii has rapidly been developing a reputation for swapping genres like outfits in a music video. After making her mark with hip-house hits like “Persuasive” and straightforward Southern rap street bangers like “Universal Swamp Anthem,” she takes on Afroswing with her new single “Rocket.”

Part of Sprite’s Limelight series, which invites artists to give unique takes on a single “core hook” created by Take A Daytrip, the song is meant to highlight a moment from each artist’s life in which they’ve “prevailed over a moment of heat.” In Doechii’s case, she details a situationship that is going nowhere fast — hence the “Rocket” of the title, which she says she is debarking posthaste — and the video is set in the primary incubator for confusing, hormonal relationships: High school.

Decked out in a variety of Y2K mall ensembles and gymnastics gear, Doechii’s “Rocket” video depicts the camaraderie between girls and women that gets them through such situations. In the song’s press release, she says, “Music is so many things to me, to artists, to fans. It soothes you; it heals you; it can uplift you and drive you on when you need it most. That’s what compels me to be part of this project with Sprite Limelight – creating new music with different producers, different artists, for people to connect to and feel a part of. It’s special.”

Azealia Banks’ “Bussy Boy” Soap Piques Charlamagne Tha God’s Interest

April 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Queen of controversy, Azealia Banks, is nearly always caught up in some internet beef with her fellow celebrities. Since Beyonce first announced her plans to take over country music, the New Yorker has been on her neck, bashing both the Houston native and her husband, Jay-Z. In recent days, Banks has turned some of her attention toward another female starlet – Doechii – who some think is one of the “212” hitmaker’s “sons,” or someone who takes direct inspiration from their elder’s discography and overall aesthetic.

The drama made its way to The Breakfast Club this week, where hosts Charlamagne Tha God, DJ Envy, and Jess Hilarious broke down what’s been happening. For his part, Tha God took a special interest in one comment from Doechii, teasing Banks for selling “bussy boy” soap online instead of sharing new music. Though he’s a straight, married man, the radio host was still keen to get his hands on some of the rap diva’s $7 hygiene products.

“I just googled it, and I’m about to order two bars just because this is hilarious,” Tha God declared. “I know that’s right,” Hilarious chimed in. “Make that bussy beam, boy. Helps with irritation from friction due to anal sex, hemorrhoids, jock itch, and bacterial overload,” he read the product description out loud. Scent options include Boyberry Blue and Georgia Peach. “This is so funny, it says for that glazed donut hole effect,” Charlamagne laughed at the NSFW marketing.

Even though she and Doechii have been in the news for their social media spat, Azealia Banks still has more energy to pour into feuding with other artists. Earlier this week, British pop singer Lily Allen felt the rap diva’s wrath after the former shared some negative thoughts about Beyonce’s COWBOY CARTER LP. Banks has made it known that her feelings about the genre-bending project are similar, but still, she doesn’t think that Allen is the right person to offer criticism to a Black woman. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Doechii Is Done Biting Her Tongue With Azealia Banks As She Roasts Her After A Diss

April 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Taylor Swift has the Swifties, Beyoncé has the Beyhive, and BTS has its Army: Many of the world’s biggest music artists have nicknames for their fan bases, and Doechii decided to get that situation squared away for herself. However, Azealia Banks entered the chat to ruin the fun, but Doechii clapped back.

In an Instagram post from April 5, Doechii asked her followers, “ok y’all… what should our fandom name be?” Days later, on April 9, Banks commented, “Definitely should call them the ‘wannabe’s.’

Doechii didn’t take that lying down, responding, “the first time you came for me I let it slide outta respect for my elders. It’s not my fault you sellin bussy soap and I’m sellin platinum records. Leave me alone PLEASE.”

As for the name Doechii and her fans settled on, the rapper wrote in a follow-up post, “based on the results of yesterdays poll… Swamp takes it fair n square [clapping emoji] but you’ll still be my chiichii’s from time to time, and I’ll always have a special place in my heart for my gaytors.”

Doechii, meanwhile, is fresh off fostering a healthier relationship with a hip-hop peer, by linking up with City Girls’ JT on their recent collaboration, “Alter Ego.”
