Prior to releasing her breakout 2024 mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal, Doechii stoked interest with the Swamp Sessions—a clutch of brief, aggressively rapped tracks paired with eye-catching, meticulously styled videos. Today, Doechii stands as a star, and her recent singles have drifted toward a more conventional sound—”girl, get up.” with SZA, “Runway” with Lady Gaga. Yet she’s now gearing up for a new album, and she has a fresh Swamp Session track for listeners.
Right now, details about the status of Doechii’s forthcoming album—likely positioned as her debut since Alligator Bites Never Heal was labeled a mixtape—aren’t fully known. However, she rolls out “Bomb,” a jagged, intensely paced new fast-rap piece accompanied by an instantly memorable self-directed video. The production hits at a high BPM, a jackhammer-like tempo filled with buzzing Theremin tones. Doechii herself keeps pace, rapping with a commanding, motor-mouth energy. The track clocks in at about ninety seconds, suggesting it could be an excerpt. It ends with what sounds like a teaser for another song, or perhaps a beat switch.
The “Bomb” video features Doechii in a fembot aesthetic, striking dramatic poses and firing toward the camera from weaponry embedded in her chest. Given that Doechii is set to headline Primavera next year, this feels like the opening salvo in a major album rollout. Check it out below.
