On Alligator Bites Never Heal, 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's Eurodance-inspired hit "Alter Ego," dubbed by R&B superstar SZA as "the craziest song I've heard all year." "Alter Ego” received the remix treatment, with JT delivering a verse, further extending Doechii's winning streak. To date, the song has earned over 15 million streams on Spotify alone. Earlier this summer, Doechii released "MPH," where she thrives over a frenetic dance beat. She also partnered with Sprite's Limelight music film to release her melodic single "Rocket," a song Hypebeast labeled "perfect for the summer."
