Doechii’s Alligator Bites Never Heal

Doechii has once again fed her ever-hungry swamp with the recent release of her new mixtape, Alligator Bites Never Heal . The 19-track LP is the embodiment of authenticity in the music industry. The Tampa-raised artist took the space to explore her many strengths as a musician. If you’re new to Doechii, take the originality of Tyler, the Creator, energy of Bree Runway, and vibrance of Smino and Victoria Monet, and you’ll have a taste of the mix of flavors that she brings to the plate. No matter the genre, a Doechii song guarantees innovative flow and musical production. Our favorite swamp princess’s talent has been recognized through her performing with SZA on her CNTRL tour, Doja Cat’s Scarlet tour last year, and most recently, her headline Swamp Ball Pride Tour.  On the album, ethereal tracks such as “Bloom” highlight the beauty of Doechii’s musicality, while punchier songs like “GTFO” call back themes of intoxicating confidence seen in her previous discography, such as in the widely popular “Alter Ego.” The album was first teased with the viral hit “Nissan Altima” and satirical rap culture critique “Boom Bap.” By processing her internal struggles through art, Doechii stands at the forefront of blending introspection with playfulness. This album highlights how far she has progressed since the beginning of her career in becoming a masterful artist and a well-rounded person. Doechii first started gaining traction with the release of her single “Yucky Blucky Fruitcake” in 2020, which ultimately led to her signing with a major label. Since then, she’s found success in everything from club-bangers and house music to R&B and rap. Alligator Bites Never Heals epitomizes the art of talking to yourself, effortlessly concretizing complex internal struggles into digestible thoughts—offering comfort to anyone who has ever felt out of sync with their own life. Christina Biuckians is a sophomore in the college majoring in neurobiology with an intended minor in Medical Humanities (and hopes her writing doesn’t make her major painfully obvious).
