Doechi shared a trailer for what she calls a new “show.” Denial is a river – see below.

Trailer and Release Date

Last night (December 26), the rapper unveiled an inspiring trailer for Denial is a river on social media, with the premiere scheduled for January 2, 2025. Little information is available regarding the “show,” apart from the trailer featuring her and several other musicians.

In the trailer, viewers are treated to a ’90s sitcom-inspired introduction of each cast member – though it lacks the expected laughter. The cast of Denial is a river includes Zach Fox, ScHoolboy Q, Ricky Thompson, Tizo Touchdown, Earl Sweatshirt (billed as Brad Pitt), H Wood, DJ Miss Milan, Baby Tate, and SiR.

Recent Achievements and Recognition

“Denial Is A River” was among the standout tracks from her mixtape “Alligator Bites Never Heal.” In August, NME awarded the mixtape four stars, stating, “This release sees Doechii dive into the heart of the matter, but by the end, she finds solace and strength, making the mixtape feel more like an audio diary of her emotional journey.”

Since the mixtape’s release, the Top Dawg Entertainment signee has achieved several milestones, including embarking on a sold-out world tour, performing on the main stage at Camp Flog Gnaw with SZA, and collaborating with Katy Perry and album creator Tyler on their respective projects, “143” and “Chromakopia”.

Doechi has also garnered four Grammy nominations for 2025: Best Rap Album for “Alligator Bites Never Heal,” Best Rap Performance for “Nissan Altima,” Best Remix Recording for “Alter Ego (Kaytranada Remix)” featuring JT and Kaytranada, and Best New Artist. She is the first woman to be included in this category despite having released only a mixtape. Check out next year’s Grammy nominations here.

Additionally, she delivered a vibrant debut performance of “Denial is a River” and “Boiled Peanuts” on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, paying tribute to MF Doom, hip-hop, and black women.

Doechi’s track “Nissan Altima” ranked 23rd in NME‘s “50 Best Songs of 2024” list, with Seth Pereira lauding it as “a relentless ride of braggadocious brilliance from the heir to the throne of Top Dawg Entertainment.”

In related news, Doechi mentioned how Paramore “made a huge impression on me and my style” and shared that the band, led by Hayley Williams, was her “first introduction to rock music.”
