Doechii is riding high right now, with Grammy nominations, an acclaimed TV performance, and a new Tiny Desk Concert — and she plans on keeping the momentum going in 2025 by releasing her debut album.
The TDE artist, who has been clear that her breakthrough project Alligator Bites Never Healis a mixtape and not an album, spoke to Varietyfor a story published on Friday (December 6).
Doechii told Variety that a proper debut LP will be released in 2025, and that it will have plenty of live instrumentation.
“All I can think about is this album, so I’m just looking forward to making more hits, making more music and achieving more of my goals,” she said. “That’s it.”
Just days before that piece was published, she gave fans a taste of what she’s calling “the future of Hip Hop” with a spellbinding performance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
The TDE star delivered a stunning medley of tracks from her acclaimed Alligator Bites Never Heal mixtape on Wednesday (December 4) while accompanied by two dancers in matching Gucci skirts.
The performance also featured an homage to MF DOOM, with Doechii opening and closing the showcase with quotes from the late rap legend’s Red Bull Music Academy lecture in 2011.
The self-proclaimed Swamp Princess revealed on social media that she choreographed the performance herself and described it as a tribute to both Hip Hop and Black women.
“This one is for Hip Hop,” she wrote on X. “I felt heavily inspired by the lineage of Hip Hop and how it contributes to who I am today.
“This is my first self choreographed performance and one of the most important things I wanted to highlight was my connection to black women through Hip Hop.”
She added: “With the help of hair artist Malcom Marquez, we were able to make this symbolic art performance come to life in just a short week.
“A special s/o to some of my inspirations; the incredible [Solange] [Carlota Guerrero] and [MF DOOM] (rip).. A special s/o to my stylist [Sam Woolf] for nailing this look and translating my take on hip hop through clothing!
The rising star concluded: “This is my take on the future of Hip Hop. This is blackness. This is luxury. This is history.”
