Doechii and Issa Rae take the Genius Open Mic stage over for a very special rendition of “Denial is a River.” A standout track from the TDE star’s acclaimed mixtape “Alligator Bites Never Heal,” the song cleverly pays homage to a famous Wendy Williams interview, blending sharp humor with deep introspection along the way.

Issa Rae and Doechii add a new dimension to the acclaimed single that incorporates “the pure storytelling element of Hip-Hop” with an evocative journal entry-inspired anthem.

This is another big moment for Doechii, who is also making waves this award season with four Grammy nominations: Best Rap Album, Best New Artist, Best Rap Performance and Best Remixed Recording. On top of that, she recently delivered renowned show-stopping performances on NPR Tiny Desk and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

On today’s episode of Open Mic, Doechii and Issa Rae combine forces to light up the stage with an unforgettable performance.
