Doechii Reveals Her Favorite Florida Slang

Doechii has listed off a few of her favorite slang terms from her Florida hometown.

The Tampa-bred rapper took a minute to chat with Billboard and listed off a few of her favorite slang terms including “Gitt” and “Green AF”

“[Gitt] is just referring to a child or a friend, you’ll just be like, ‘What’s up Gitt?'” she said, adding later, “Ok this is a Tampa thing, we used to say ‘Decka Like a Stecka’, that mean like I’m really about that life, I’m that bitch, I’m that girl. Decka Like a Stecka, period!”

Elsewhere in the interview, she spoke about what it’s like to be the first female rapper signed to Top Dawg Entertainment.

“That feels amazing,” Doechii said. “It’s a huge responsibility because I know that after me there’s gonna be more female rappers that are a part of TDE so I just wanna make sure that I do everything so that the next girl feels comfortable doing everything.”

Doechii had previously dropped off her she/her/black bitch EP last August, which featured appearances from SZA, Rico Nasty and Jst Ray.

“Many times I’ve been referred to as a ‘bitch’ as a way to gaslight me out of certain spaces, something I think many people can relate to in one way or another,” Doechii added in a statement about the project. “Lots of people will call you various names for doing something differently.”

She continued: “So I decided to take ownership of the ‘Black bitch’ and title my EP she/her/black bitch and reclaim that motherfucking power. So if you’ve ever been put down for being yourself, just remember you’re powerful and unapologetic- these songs are for you.”

The EP also features production from Kal Banx, Hit-Boy, Bankroll Got It, and Devin Malik, and is executive produced by Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith and Anthony “Moosa” Tiffith Jr.

Most recently, Doechii contributed a new song to the Wendell & Wild soundtrack called “I Told ‘Em.”
