Doechii is feeling the love from the Swamp, the fandom name that resonated with her the most as she checked in with Rolling Stone backstage at Governors Ball 2024 . The rapper joined Delisa Shannon in The Green Room for a warm, reflective conversation about the quick-moving trajectory of her career as she prepared to perform at the New York festival for the first time on Saturday afternoon. “I’ve been experimenting with music for so long, it was just a really cool time to look back and see how I’ve evolved, ultimately, like how my sound has evolved and all the different things that I’ve tried, it was just like a trip down memory lane,” Doechii shared about her recent nostalgia trip reflecting on her debut EP Bra-Less , which arrived in 2021.
Her set included “Shit” from the project but spanned releases from “Swamp Bitches” and “Spookie Coochie” to “Persuasive” and “Alter Ego.” “I do think a whole mixtape of that style of rap could be really, really cool and just nostalgic, but also fresh. It’s like this constant back and forth of honoring myself, but at the same time feeling uncomfortable because I feel like the second I get cozy in something, I’m ready to branch out and do something new,” Doechii explained.
And when she’s branching out, it’s usually to bigger, better, and more astronomical levels of stardom. The crowd that she drew at Gov Ball was extensively larger than the one she recalled performing for in Ybor City, back home in .
