Rising rapper Doechii has unleashed her brand new EP, ‘she / her / black b*tch.’

Championed by TDE, the dynamic femcee showcases her fiery flow on the five-track collection – which is powered in earnest by breakout hit ‘Persuasive.’

The set boasts production from the likes of Hit-Boy and Kal Banx and features fellow TDE star SZA, Rico Nasty, and more.

Speaking on the EP, the Tampa native said:

“Many times I’ve been referred to as a “b*tch” as a way to gaslight me out of certain spaces, something I think many people can relate to in one way or another. Lots of people will call you various names for doing something differently.

So I decided to take ownership of the ‘black b*tch’ and title my EP ‘she/ her/ black b*tch and reclaim that motherf***ing power. So if you’ve ever been put down for being yourself, just remember you’re powerful and unapologetic- these songs are for you.”

Eminem‘s 2005 greatest hits package, ‘Curtain Call: the Hits,’ is not only one of the best-selling compilation albums of all time, but – with a nearly 600-week run on the Billboard 200 to its credit – it sits in Billboard history books for the longest run of any Hip Hop project ever.

That set features some of Em’s greatest hits up that point including ‘The Real Slim Shady,’ ‘My Name Is,’ ‘Stan,’ ‘Lose Yourself,’ ‘Cleanin’ Out My Closet,’ and more.

To toast the mountain of smashes he’s accumulated in the time since, the 49-year-old is raising the curtain on ‘Curtain Call 2.’

In addition to the inclusion of fan favorites ‘Walk on Water’ (featuring Beyonce), ‘Godzilla’ (featuring Juice WRLD), ‘Love the Way You Lie’ (featuring Rihanna), ‘Not Afraid,’ and more, ‘Curtain Call 2’ shines with three new songs: three new songs; the Snoop Dogg-assisted ‘From the D,’ the CeeLo Green-assisted ‘King & I,’ and an unreleased 50 Cent collaboration from 2009 called ‘Is It Love,’
