Doechii Announces New Mixtape ‘Alligator Bites Never Heal’ on Her 26th Birthday

Florida-born rapper Doechii is kicking off her 26th year with a bang, announcing her upcoming mixtape, “Alligator Bites Never Heal,” set to drop later this month. The exciting news was shared on her birthday, through her Instagram account.

Alongside the announcement, Doechii revealed the mixtape’s release date—August 30—and its cover art, captioning the post: “Alligator Bites Never Heal 8/30. Pre-save the mixtape, link in bio. Happy Birthday to me,” followed by a heart emoji. Fans are eagerly anticipating what this project will bring as Doechii continues to solidify her place in the music industry.

A Voice for the LGBTQIA+ Community

Doechii has always been a trailblazer, not just in music but also as an outspoken ally of the LGBTQIA+ community. As a queer artist, she has consistently used her platform to promote inclusivity and celebrate diversity.

In a recent Rolling Stone Pride Month interview, Doechii opened up about her experiences and the unique connection she feels with the LGBTQIA+ community. She described it as a space where she feels more understood and safe compared to the broader Hip Hop industry.

“No community has uplifted me and made me feel as safe as the gay community,” Doechii shared. “And ballroom culture, of course, is a part of that community. I just feel understood in that space, and not all the time in this hip-hop genre do I feel fully embraced like I do in this bag. I just feel safe.”

Celebrating Pride and Supporting Others

Doechii’s advocacy has been especially evident during Pride Month. She and JT, her collaborator on the track “Alter Ego,” participated in an initiative to uplift LGBTQIA+ voices through heartfelt “love letters” shared on social media.

In her letter, Doechii expressed gratitude to the LGBTQIA+ community, acknowledging their unwavering support for her music and personal growth. “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,” she wrote.

Her message also included an encouraging note for those struggling: “Find safe spaces to celebrate and love yourself. Find people who support and can help create opportunities for you to better yourself. When it feels like no one understands you and you just wanna give up, please hold on and stay strong.”

What Fans Can Expect From the Mixtape

While Doechii has kept specific details about “Alligator Bites Never Heal” under wraps, fans expect her signature mix of bold lyrics and genre-defying sounds. Known for hits like “What It Is” and collaborations with artists like JT, she has made a name for herself as a fearless and versatile artist.

Doechii’s ability to blend honesty, vulnerability, and fierce energy in her music has earned her a growing fanbase. With her latest project, the rapper is expected to showcase even more of her creativity and talent, cementing her as one of the most exciting voices in contemporary Hip Hop.

Doechii’s Rising Star

From her unapologetic authenticity to her efforts in championing marginalized voices, Doechii continues to carve out a unique space in the music world. As she celebrates her 26th birthday with the upcoming release of “Alligator Bites Never Heal,” she remains an inspiration to fans worldwide.

The countdown is on for August 30, as listeners eagerly await what’s sure to be another bold and boundary-pushing project from one of Hip Hop’s rising stars.
