Fresh off her electrifying performance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Doechii proves once again why she’s known as “Doechii The Don.” The Top Dawg Entertainment star graced NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert series with a dazzling live showcase, delivering an unforgettable 23-minute set that seamlessly wove together eight standout tracks from her Grammy-nominated mixtape, Alligator Bites Never Heal.
Backed by her impeccably styled Swamp-themed band, Doechii opened the performance with a jazzy reinterpretation of “BOOM BAP,” sprinkling in playful new lyrics like, “NPR said they wanted me to rap.” From there, she effortlessly transitioned into a soulful rendition of “BOILED PEANUTS,” followed by the emotive “DENIAL IS A RIVER,” crafting a fresh yet familiar vibe distinct from her Colbert medley.
The set’s highlights included the dynamic and hard-hitting “NISSAN ALTIMA,” as well as the deeply reflective “Black Girl Memoir,” which brought the performance to a powerful close. The full setlist featured:
- BOOM BAP
- BOILED PEANUTS
- DENIAL IS A RIVER
- CATFISH

With each performance, Doechii continues to break boundaries, blending bold lyricism, genre-defying production, and commanding live presence.
