Rising star Doechii’s new hip-hop/rap mixtape, Alligator Bites Never Heal, captures a rare talent in her rawest form yet, giving listeners 19 distinct windows into her one-of-a-kind artistry. On the mixtape, Doechii is equal parts her Tampa roots and Los Angeles, where she’s currently based. She is then and now and also tomorrow, she is countless genres and movements and eras and ideas laid out before us in less than an hour of song. She is the woman on the cover, looking like a stone-faced queen, wearing Vivienne Westwood with beads in her braids and an albino alligator in her lap as if to say, “Did you expect something less?”

The mixtape comes on the heels of Doechii&#39;s Eurodance-inspired hit &#34;Alter Ego,&#34; dubbed by R&amp;B superstar SZA as &#34;the craziest song I&#39;ve heard all year.&#34; After gaining 600 million plus global streams for “What It Is (Block Boy)”  last year, she continued to build her momentum when she popped out to Los Angeles to open for Beyoncé. That same fall, the self-proclaimed Swamp Princess hit the road with Doja Cat on her Scarlet Tour dates.
