SauceMobb’s very own, DougieDaGod is here to give fans a dose of how emerging artists have and will continue to influence the likes and sounds of mainstream music. In fact, he might have inspired today’s No.1 top-charting track, “I Hate U” by sizzling R&B sensation, SZA. Back on September 16th, 2021, DougieDaGod dropped off his raving record “You’ll Be Back” featuring JaceJay. The record opens up with Dougie reminiscing on the past and how since their split his ex denies she loved it there. Before the chorus pops up reminding her that no matter what she says, her actions show otherwise. Taunting her with the reality that she’ll be back. Throughout the track Dougie and Jace spit the truth behind the cycle of a complicated love. Bringing the perspective of men. The relatable rhymes about relationships are laid over a hypnotizing beat, sure to keep every listener in a loop.
Additionally, the modern day cover art for the trendy track serves up today’s toxic situationship in an image. The epitome of a picture is worth a thousand words and he hit the nail on the head with this one! The cover art displays a woman texting the rising rhymer “I hate you” before he responds “pull up”. It also shows the mystery lady typing in response to him telling her to come through.
At the top of the month, SZA set Tik Tok and the music world on blaze with her hit single “I Hate U”. The roll out behind her track and the lyricism built within it sounds like a dialogue and a response record to a release she may have already heard. Press play on DougieDaGod’s single “You’ll Be Back” feat JaceJay and then press play on SZA’s single. Then, let us know your thoughts and correlation between both dope pieces of work here on Hip Hop Dose.

Radio Free Alice have shared a new single featuring Water From Your Eyes‘ Rachel Brown – listen to ‘Big Ideas’ below.
The collaborative song is the latest preview of the Australian band and NME 100 alumni‘s debut studio album, ‘What’s In Between’, which is released on October 30 via Atlantic.¥
“From early on, we felt that a second vocal would work well with the song, a kind of call and response,” explained frontman Noah Learmonth of the team-up.
“We’ve loved Water From Your Eyes for years, and had gone to their show when they came to Melbourne. We felt like Rachel would be perfect; they have such an interesting, distinctive voice.”
In the contemplative track’s first verse, Learmonth sings: “Try not to go too berserk/ But she’s been sleeping with the guy from work/ At what point do you admit your life’s not going to plan one bit.”
Later, he tells the listener he’d “rather be stuck in hell than stuck in Melbourne with reports to sell” before Brown joins in and trades vocals: “Honey won’t you rescue me/ I got a barb in my eye/ I got a thorn in my side/ Don’t get any big ideas (Pick it up and pack it in)/ She only let you in to get your things/ (Pick it up and pack it in)...”
‘Big Ideas’ is accompanied by a ’90s-looking official music video, directed and edited by Owen Schatz. The song follows previous singles ‘Kick In The Shins’ and ‘Crying For You’.
Speaking to NME at Reading Festival this summer, Radio Free Alice discussed what to expect from their debut LP. “Looking back, I’ve always been a sucker for anything ‘coming of age’,” said Learmonth of the LP’s lyrics. “A lot of my favourite movies growing up were that. There is a theme of ‘dispossessed young person’, amongst others.”
Elsewhere in the chat, they recalled opening for Geese in Australia. “It was crazy to see Geese in person,” Learmonth told NME. “Cameron Winter and Geese have been on my phone incessantly, so to see him in person and be talking to him backstage was so strange, so topical. That was sick. It was amazing to share a stage with the most talked-about band in the world.”
