How Doechii Ditched the Formula and Took Her Own Path on 'Denial Is a River' | The Breakdown

[@pizzaexprezzz]

authentic AND fine as hell. she’s EVERYTHINGGGG

[@alicee8408]

SHE'S EVERYTHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING

[@MakeLuvWorldWide]

Her exploding moment being her becoming sober and shutting down going hermit mode on people… real, so real

[@kiki.turner]

I haven’t felt this level of realness from an artist in a long time. Doechii is everything and im appreciative of her sharing her art with the collective cause we need it. Pop your sh*t queen, cheers to The Swamp 🐊

[@_tumi]

Shout out Jayda for making sure Beverly Hills made it to the final cut. She was a 100% right. When an artist is as versatile as Doechii, every project has to have a lil bit of everything she has to offer. They were deep in their bag on that one.

I’m dying. Love the references she making too

[@itsjustmeme8161]

Ms.Keisha!!!!

[@philautie.2609]

And you kind of look like her ❤

[@fairycore-w6h]

KEISHAAAAAAAAAA

[@Donyaih]

Raw in her music and Raw in reality, very unique very supreme🔥🐊

[@DoniTalks]

I found my name twin-ish. Mine is Donya

[@crushingmitosis]

This was such a dope breakdown. I'm in a hard phase in my life. So, when I saw this video from my favorite artist beginning to end. It sparked something in me. Also, when doechii made this mixtape I immediately felt relieved. It was well crafted, personal, and real as fuck.

[@tha.hippie]

I hope everything gets better for u

[@crushingmitosis]

@@tha.hippie tysm

[@maunochromatic]

Hope everything gets better for you, you got this !!! And also I 100% agree, ABNH was a phenomenal mixtape.

[@crushingmitosis]

@@maunochromatic TYSM and ABNH IS A GREAT DIRECTION TO DOECHII’S ARTISTRY

[@mainevale]

Yea same i really needed this

[@loveshot98]

"All 5 of us" 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭 she's too much, I love her

[@Faridbuza]

She's lucky to have a recording label that allows and lets her do what she feels is the right thing for her to do, even when they disagree with her. That's real artistic collaboration and freedom.

[@ponchi7928]

doechii is a STAR i can’t wait to watch her continue to grow into greatness

[@MakeLuvWorldWide]

She didn’t want Beverly Hills or Fireflies on there?? YOO that’s insane.

[@almightyotaku6615]

i understand fireflies because its so different from everything else on the project but Beverly Hills is a whole boppppp

[@Youniversou1]

I am sooooooo glad Beverly Hills is in there

[@adamdevereaux2713]

“BEVERLY HILLS” and “FIREFLIES” are two of my favorites (my main one is “DEATH ROLL”) but I can see why she felt dat way.

[@nicolleford8007]

Fireflies is an unreleased from years ago and I've been wating for it lol😅

[@127deku]

she is SO DAMN GORGEOUS! love watching her in her element ❤️‍🔥

[@irahvanelletancioco8453]

the fluidity she has with her creativity and art?! hello?!! doechii, you are itttt!

[@norwoodsstokes3883]

There is a deeper conversation to be had here...especially with rap music having no other intrinsic value besides turning up...being the conventional attitude about this genre...ABNH....is a showcase for projects that can....RESONATE...& i luv that for Doechii.....🐊🐊🐊🐊🙌🏽🙌🏽💪🏽💪🏽🎯🎯🎯🎯💯

[@FlourishingHere]

"Doubt breeds chaos" ...whew! Doechii dropped a few gems in this vid

[@kingderald]

THIS ALBUM IS ONE OF THE BEST RAP ALBUMS. I still can’t stop listening to it. Deserves so much attention. I was inspired to write. A really good video. I’m a fan now.

[@anthonyvargas5057]

Doechii is so incredibly BEAUTIFUL and talented, her spirit and energy is so pure and enticing. I love you doechii so much, i hope one day we can meet 😭💖

[@tulpedigital]

"im here to feel something" is sooo important for the music industry and us as people!!! love doecjii

[@tebogomagz5797]

"you know you doubt yourself because you're waiting for something outside of you to make you great." ❤ She was preaching!!

[@miahuvv]

love how raw this interview is, really fun to watch

[@woe6994]

Man this was amazing. She dropped a lot of gems in this and I feel like a lot of big artist are struggling with trying to make these viral moments instead of making things that are real and true to them and it's not benefitting them. Also, what Jayda said about people using different genres to be vulnerable but not rap was facts as well.

[@onriyu4269]

I'm so glad Jada made that point at 11:30! I'm so tired of that narrative, especially on behalf of non-black rappers in the scene who utilize the genre of hip hop for a come-up while constantly othering themselves from being identified as "rappers" only to shed their personas when they want to make "real music." Rap music has always had depth, has always been real!

[@markmedica5945]

This mixtape was exactly what I needed to remind myself that solitude is okay. It help me get past my doubt. Thank you doechii.

[@Mark.mp3]

Doechii is the one!!! I’m telling you in 5 years she’s going to be hugeeee. Too much talent and versatility.

[@MrBreezyTV]

Doechii is one for the books ..she’s here to stay

[@AutumnLathea]

I love hearing her explain this process bc she truly believed in herself and ATEEE! She is super creative, talented, fun, and honest and you can see that in this mixtape. I'm glad she was able to tell her story musically exactly how she wanted bc she deserved to have that moment and other artists really resonated with her work. She's about to go allll the way up career-wise!🙌🏾

[@69avenue]

I AM YELLING!!!!!!!!!!! Doechii is too funny. 4:54

[@ifeellikenaomi]

"CATCH IT!!!" & "all 5 of us" lol

[@tineshacopeland5414]

She is speaking straight facts.👏🏽 More artists need to go against the grain.

[@jasmineallen2616]

Doechii articulates herself very well 💕!

[@natalienoel2311]

I agree as well. Like ok Professor Doechii 😁

[@srecreates]

1:18 bery well explained: album vs. mixtape 💿

[@kyraspearman3699]

Just went to the Philly show and WOOOOWWWWWW

[@Greenair777]

GIVE DOCHII HER FLOWERS!!!!!💐

[@srecreates]

18:34 shout out to her engineer! artist need good engineers

[@guilboy]

I had to comment on the honesty I felt through the screen and the speakers in this interview. Feels real good. I heard it's not perfect for you right now but, your energy is beautiful right now, just like you.

[@Tonyxstorm]

Such a good breakdown and so many gems for artist to sit with! also I hate to sound like a hotep but doechii genuinely looks best when she goes for a natural look🔥

[@dakotac180]

What a queen! We need her! So talented and beautiful! I love black women.

[@amber_marieeeeee]

Ima just say this….You represent a whole generation of strong black women and we are so proud of you ❤️it feels like just yesterday when you used to drop your KZbin vlogs… the industry needed something real👑👑

[@eddielouisemoran5881]

Love her!! She needs more attention.

[@adamdevereaux2713]

I been tellin’ niggas ‘bout Doechii for YEARS, and I’m so grateful I get to see her star rise. She’s such an incredible, intelligent and refreshin’ talent.

[@susisonrei1111]

I can't stop talking about her project rn and watching these interviews just excites me more to see her Nov 13 in Atlanta!!

[@victori4027]

I’m so jelly 😭 her Chicago show got sold out and resales were 700. Enjoy the queen Doe ❤

[@DonMichaelJr]

I needed this entire interview.. especially that last bit where she basically spoke directly to me.

[@lalalipop]

I love Doechii! ❤ Been watching her when she did storytimes while she was in highschool and i watched while in middle school. And seeing her manifesting this and going to TDE and music label buildings and getting signed was her goal and look at her now. Proud of you Doechii, you are talent personified. 💖

[@Memoirofkiki]

I did a deep dive on Doechii on my channel. It took me a month researching her because she's so DOPE, and raw and real. No one is doing it like her !

[@byeitsalexx]

she's so real and the mixtape is easily one of the best rap projects out this year no doubt. doechii is going placesss

[@ethanrodriguez5475]

i love her and i love that she did a breakdown of not only the song but the mixtape

[@jalengray1107]

I STRIVE TO BE THIS FREE ❤

[@user-pz4vb9cu8u]

She's such a breath of fresh air musically! I'm glad she touches on how you need to feel music and how it has to have and how those things should always matter more than making 'hits".

[@Sew_OzzyWar_Made_This]

I love this song!! It brings back memories to good old (real) hip hop!!

[@ramseyphdone6926]

She is a breath of fresh air❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kyraspearman3699]

NOT FIREFLIES I could cry I love that song

[@Evilmindy12]

Doechii ❤! She’s such a fire artist. I absolutely love her originality. Can’t wait to experience more of her creativity.

[@AmberAsiaMason]

legendary interview

[@sequerstin]

I love singing and rapping Doechii. I would’ve been fine without the singing songs but they’re definitely some of my favorites on the mixtape.😊

[@robjones799]

By her making this a mixtape she put a lot of pressure on her debut album whenever that comes out. This mix tape is something she can measure up to now.

[@itsjustmeme8161]

My Queen, this mixtape spoke to me

[@majora025]

This was a treat. The outtakes for Denial were great

[@juliannamonique2009]

Your music is my therapy…. I don’t even get that deep with music these days.. thank you for blessing us with “You”❤

[@inplainsi]

I needed this. so glad to have been able to hear her talk about this process.

[@BTonTV]

I adore this woman 😭😭❤️❤️❤️

[@finessethacreator]

I enjoyed this mix album so much ❤ I loved every and how raw she is. I still bump the whole thing! No skips

[@LBrown-fo7sr]

Doechii energy is awesome. Love the album.

[@ArtbyTectonen]

"Nobody needs this." We did. We did need this 😭 (Beverly hills & fireflies)

[@bebonk]

she's as real as it gets, this rawness from an artist is something you don't see often and denial is river is my favourite song off the mixtape

[@-sevda]

"doubt breeds chaos." she just makes me smile. doechii deserves the utmost best. there are points throughout the mixtape that actually make me teary-eyed and awestruck. MAJOR shoutout to jada. 💜

[@Milkyy666]

UGH I love her. Love that she decided to follow her gut with this project. So happy for you Doechii❤

[@kj-fe9wi]

Thank you Jada❤ I love Beverly Hills

[@Rolandeee]

3:42 I wish more artists layered their albums like this!!!!!

[@safdgbv]

I need more artists doing this and much less of their personal lives. Stuff like this gains authenticity and credibility to Hollywood again. Not IG likes.

[@glossygrape620]

If media outlets focus more on the music it can almost “re-program” the consumer to care more about the art over BS gossipy stuff. And maybe artists will put more effort into their work again

[@ScoobRob511]

I'm more into rap this season of my life but I love Fireflies and Beverly Hills so glad u added those

[@SAMoralesTP]

Her journey really is her own and it genuinely feels like she's doing everything in her power to stay genuine through the process to recognition

[@binary_breach]

Hearing Doechii say she didn’t want Fireflies is so crazy that’s probably my favorite song off the album personally 😫😩

[@halfbro]

This mixtape is MAJOR

[@YoniGateKeeper]

She’s EVERYTHING!!! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@mizniyahboo101]

Saw doe with the natural hair and clicked instantly

[@Lesedi_Gololo]

I liked the beat boxing @ 12:36 it was pretty cool 😂

[@paemurray]

The ending message is SO POWERFUL!!! ❤❤❤ LOVE IT!! ❤❤❤

[@mollyreagan2982]

"theres shedded skin all over the place." wow. i literally cant stop watching Doechii interviews, videos, etc. i feel like she has answers to some of the questions always on my mind. questions about self worth, self idealization, self lofe, all self-relational. it feels amazing to see an artist getting big big big who is running on 100% authenticity. you can just hear ugh i love it

[@catowl50]

GENIOUS from beginning to end. Oh my god. Doechii you are truly amazing. Speechless. Girl I’m going to need a moment to process everything up

[@Ms110209]

Didn't think I could love her more than after watching this
