Doechii is the moment, and she’s continued to prove it with her Swamp Sessions series that’s included standouts like “NISSAN ALTIMA” and “SUNDAY’S BEST.” But, as she gets ready to release her upcoming mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal, she’s ending what she calls the first season of the series. Don’t fret, though, because she’s ending on a high note with the last session and latest single from the mixtape, the satirical and cocksure “BOOM BAP.”
She’s attacked each of the songs from Swamp Sessions like she has something to prove, and “BOOM BAP” is no different. This time, however, she eviscerates anyone who’s questioned her skills while demonstrating that her bag of lyrical tricks is endless. She begins over a chipmunk-soul sample (which is courtesy of in-demand producer Camper and DJ Miss Milan) that’s typically revered as classic among hip-hop elitists while she pokes fun at critics of her unique style.
“They want real rap from a b***h like they out-rappin’ a b***h / Yeah, she can clap a lil’ bit, do that, they ain’t sayin’ s**t,” she rhymes. “That a** a magnet, I get it, you know, attractive and s**t / I just can’t sing a lil’ bit? I mean, that s**t was a hit.” She then goes on to rightfully claim that she and her music are, in fact, “everything” and won’t cower to the industry’s strict definitions.
The visual for the track continues the aesthetic of the Swamp Sessions, with its focus on Doechii as she acts up and acts out the lyrics while honoring her Floridian roots. As she rhymes and mugs in junkyards, citrus groves and other sets, she thumbs her nose at expectations as she continues to do things her way.
