by When Doechii stepped up to claim her first-ever Grammy Award for Best Rap Album for Alligator Bites Never Heal, the energy was electric as this was an empowering moment for upcoming female emcees everywhere.
Now, fresh off that monumental victory and standout performance, she’s keeping the momentum going with the surprise drop of her latest single, “Nosebleeds,” a track that’s got all the hunger, flex, and unshakable confidence that made her a force, to begin with.
Produced by Jonas Jeberg and released under the partnership of Top Dawg Entertainment and Capitol Records, “Nosebleeds” serves as a celebration and a middle finger to the doubters all rolled into one. This joint was crafted to mark Doechii’s arrival at the top, and she’s making it clear she has no plans to slow down.
While the industry was already buzzing about her triple nomination, including Best New Artist and Best Rap Performance for “Nissan Altima,” it was her Grammy performance that left jaws on the floor. Taking the stage with a presence that screamed superstar, she delivered a raw, theatrical, and high-energy medley of “Denial is a River” and “Boiled Peanuts,” highlighting why she’s one of hip-hop’s most exciting new stars.
Backed by an all-female band and dancers draped in avant-garde Southern Gothic fits, Doechii blended her signature Florida grit with high-art aesthetics, flipping expectations on their heads. She transformed the Grammy stage into her own personal kingdom, making her one of music’s biggest night standouts.
Alligator Bites Never Heal has been a fan favorite since its release in 2024. This project is about an independent-minded, boundary-pushing Black woman carving out her own lane in a game that too often tries to box artists in. Doechii has been moving the needle, evident with her Grammy Nods. Looks like 2025 is about to be another year of dominance for the self-proclaimed “Swamp Princess.”
