Doechii, Pacer | Track Review

Rising Tampa rapper Doechii, fueled by epic production work from Saint 808, delivers a surefire banger with “Pacer.”

Who’s got next? That would be Tampa rapper, Doechii (Jaylah Hickmon). After bringing the heat with “Booty Drop”, Hickmon drops another surefire banger, “Pacer”. Running just under 3 minutes in duration, Doechii collaborated with producer, Saint 808 (Noah Shanklin). A saint Shanklin proves to be – with those 808s and the production, of course (#No Blasphemy intended ).

Following the enigmatic intro, shouting out Saint 808, Doechii drops a bold, unapologetic chorus.  She’s aggressive and loud AF. Rock On !

“Niggas want the shit, bring the clique, throw a fuckin’ fit

Open up the pit, let it rip, he a fuckin’ bitch…

Whippin’ in a blimp, fuck a whip, we on different shit…”

WOO! The production is nasty, with its hellish synths and those banging 808s. Serious, the Saint kicks ass and takes names with the backdrop – NO CAP ! Hickmon delivers her fair share of ear-catching bars over the course of three minutes.  In the first verse, she asserts, “I’m on CP time, lizard jet out to Dubai / Watchin’ me like PewDiePie.” PewDiePie, huh? Clever! Two lines stand out in the second verse: “I’m invincible, niggas wanna see me fall / You won’t ever hear me moan, nigga, I’m incredible,” and, “Bitch, I’m on demon time, I live in my prime.” WOO! In the pre-chorus, she characterizes herself as a rockstar, on God’s time .  Going back to Saint 808, I love how the production plays the rockstar vibe she concocts lyrically. What more is there to say about “Pacer”? Doechii eats on this banger, PERIOD!
