Rising rapper Doechii has quickly established a reputation for delivering on a dazzling scale. And she lives up to that billing in the stunning visual for her breakout hit ‘Persuasive.’

The latest incarnation of the ‘she / her / black bitch’ track sees the femcee team up with fellow TDE star SZA – who joins the ascending star in the dynamic video.

Speaking on the team-up, Doechii said:

“I created ‘Persuasive’ to uplift people and bring communities together, so having SZA jump on the song was a perfect fit because I’ve always connected with others over her music. Knowing that SZA is with TDE was what originally got me most excited about being on this label, so now that we have a song together it’s a full-circle moment. She really ATE! This collaboration is everything I always imagined it to be.”
