According to Pitchfork.com, Doechii has dropped “Bombs,” which is a short loosie that also marks the return of her Swamp Sessions series. In the lead-up to 2024’s Alligator Bites Never Heal, the rapper shared weekly song snippets and freestyles to YouTube, with several, including “Nissan Altima” and “Catfish,” ending up on the mixtape proper.  As a whole, “Bombs” is brilliant by how the ditty and music video captures a bolder and more creative side of the artist.

After a quiet 2026, Doechii has also penned a handwritten letter to fans. “I spent the past few years relearning Hip-Hop as a student. Studying its language, its history, its roots,” Doechii writes in the note—posted to her Instagram story and viewed by Pitchfork. “Now, I feel inspired to contribute to evolve it. To stretch it through different genres, different sounds and different parts of myself.” The artist adds: “A mission is brewing inside of me (a responsibility really) to see Black Womanhood exist at the center of Hip-Hop AND Pop. I fear my devotion now is to becoming the artist I wish existed when I was growing up. Finally become the dark skin ICON my little girl eyes wanted to see. Making the music I want to hear and embodying the posture of thee STAR! A light in my industry. I want art in every fucking thing.” She ends the letter with a resolute “I don’t have shit else to say hoe.”
