Doechii — Music Videos

A rapper and singer from Tampa

Doechii is the professional name of Jaylah Hickmon, an American rapper, singer, and songwriter from Tampa, Florida. Her music moves among sharply articulated rap, melodic R&B, dance rhythms, and theatrical character work. She began building an audience independently before joining Top Dawg Entertainment and Capitol Records. The nickname Swamp Princess connects her artistic identity to Florida, while the range of her performances resists the idea that she belongs to only one musical category.

From early songs to Alligator Bites Never Heal

Her releases include the projects Coven Music Session, Vol. 1, Oh the Places You’ll Go, She / Her / Black Bitch, and Alligator Bites Never Heal. Songs such as “Yucky Blucky Fruitcake,” “Persuasive,” “What It Is (Block Boy),” and “Denial Is a River” reveal different aspects of her delivery. “Anxiety,” first shared in an earlier form in 2019, returned as a widely released single in 2025, using the musical framework of Gotye and Kimbra’s “Somebody That I Used to Know.”

Technique and perspective

Doechii often changes cadence, vocal register, and character within a single performance. Humor can sit beside anxiety or blunt self-examination, while the arrangements range from sparse rap production to more melodic settings. That flexibility makes storytelling and the sound of her voice equally important parts of the writing.
