Hold onto your hats, music lovers! Doechii’s new mixtape, Alligator Bites Never Heal, has hit the airwaves, and it’s packing the same punch that Kendrick Lamar’s Section.80 did back in the day. Top Dawg Entertainment’s big boss, Anthony ‘Top Dawg’ Tiffith, feels the familiar electric vibe.
Doechii, the dynamic rapper from Florida, dropped her latest mixtape on August 30, and it’s already making waves. Top Dawg couldn’t hold back his excitement, taking to Instagram to draw an incredible parallel between Doechii’s project and Kendrick Lamar’s breakout moment. ‘I have the same feeling I had when KDOT dropped Section 80,’ he wrote enthusiastically, dubbing her music ‘timeless classic music.’
ScHoolboy Q is also on the Doechii express, sharing his adoration on social media. ‘Just Here to say DOEcHii… dats all I care about at da moment,’ he tweeted, offering a ringing endorsement for her fiery new collection of tracks.
But Doechii’s influence isn’t just limited to her music. As a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community, she’s found comfort and support among her queer peers. In a candid interview with Rolling Stone, she opened up about how the gay community has welcomed her with open arms. ‘No community has uplifted me and made me feel as safe as the gay community,’ she shared, highlighting the stark contrast to her experiences in hip-hop. Her involvement in ballroom culture, a vibrant subculture within the LGBTQIA+ world, has provided her a safe haven where she feels truly understood.
Supporting the LGBTQIA+ community isn’t new for Doechii. In June, both she and her collaborator JT showed their love by sending ‘love letters’ on social media to kick off Pride Month. Doechii expressed her gratitude, saying, ‘I owe a tremendous amount of gratitude to the LGBTQ+ community for embracing me so tightly and pushing not only my music but also championing my personal growth.’
Her music is a heartfelt blend of her Florida roots and the bold spirit of the LGBTQIA+ community. ‘My creative work is heavily influenced by both my Florida roots and the vibrant LGBTQ+ community,’ she explained. This unique mix has crafted a sound that’s both authentic and groundbreaking, resonating deeply with fans across different spectrums.
Doechii is not just making music; she’s creating a movement. With her new mixtape drawing comparisons to Kendrick Lamar’s legendary Section.80 and her unwavering support of the LGBTQIA+ community, she’s a force to be reckoned with. Keep an eye on this trailblazer—she’s just getting started.
