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

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 .
