Doechii speaks on her long-awaited debut album 🚨
“I spent the last few years relearning Hip-Hop as a student. Studying it’s language, history & roots. Now I feel inspired to contribute to evolve it.”
“A mission is brewing inside of me (a responsibility really) to see black womanhood exist at the center of Hip-Hop AND Pop.”
“I want art in every f**king thing. I want everything. I am EVERYTHING.”
Duncan Trussell recorded this conversation with his mother while she was facing terminal cancer.
What you’re hearing isn’t scripted. It isn’t performed. It’s a son sitting with his dying mother trying to hold onto every word before the words run out.
And she, the one facing the end, is the one doing the comforting.
That is what makes these conversations so extraordinary. Not the wisdom itself, as profound as it is. But who it’s coming from. A woman who had every reason to be consumed by her own fear choosing instead to spend what little time remained helping her son understand how to live without her.
These recordings became the heart of The Midnight Gospel. And I always go back to watch it again.
They remain some of the most honest conversations about death, love and what it means to be human ever put on screen…

Someone once said, if you spend all day at a fish market, you'll leave smelling like fish even if you didn't touch one. But if you spend your day in a perfume shop, you'll leave smelling good even if you didn't buy anything. Your environment always rubs off on you. Spend time around people who complain. You'll see negativity everywhere, spend time around people who make excuses. You'll never change, but spend it with people of action, you'll feel inspired to move. Spend it with people of gratitude. You'll see blessings everywhere. The scent of your environment will always follow you.
