Doechii’s new song ‘Crazy’ is about un-contained power, creativity, and confidence

The recently TDE signed artist comments:

“People call you crazy when they fear you or they don’t understand you. So when I use it in the song, I’m reflecting that energy back on them to show them themselves.”

Doechiii treats us to a visual spectacle that we’re not used to seeing. Unclothed women wielding guns, fighting and dancing. Violence is mixed with great grace and this clip carries an important message:

The music video director, Sarah C Prinz, said in a statement that “The visual is an expansive metaphor embodying the hardships women go through in their ascension to power.

It’s a piece that challenges the viewer to look at stigmatized imagery and asks them to see beyond the first impression – to see the female form not in moments of sexuality but in moments of truth, intensity and power; to see a woman wielding a gun, to see a woman express vivid, honest emotions.” She added, “It’s a piece that empowers the exponential capacity of women in the 21st century, in every form of their being.”
