's critically acclaimed second mixtape, Alligator Bites Never Heal , was officially released on August 30, 2024, through Top Dawg Entertainment

This sums up the album’s thesis: Doechii refuses to sanitize her pain for mainstream comfort. On "Never Heal," she admits, "I told my therapist I'm fine / That's a lie that saves us time."

The title itself suggests that the scars we carry—from the industry, from relationships, or from our past—stay with us forever. Doechii explores these "bites" with a level of honesty that is rare in mainstream rap.
