"Nissan Altima" is a song by American rapper Doechii, released on July 27, 2024, as the lead single from her second mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal (2024). It was produced by Childish Major.
Content In the song, Doechii performs in a rapid-fire flow. The lyrics center around Doechii asserting her dominance in sexual matters, with emphasis on her bisexuality: "Cunnilingus Dalai Lama / Doechii cooler than a fan, but she get hotter than a sauna / Take a trip out of Japan and I tsunami her vagina / Wine and dine her, Benihana, I'm the new hip-hop Madonna / I'm the new hip-hop Madonna, I'm the trap Grace Jones / I don't know what type of motherfuckin' crack they on / I'm like Carrie Bradshaw with a back brace on / I been carrying you bitches now for way too long".
Critical reception Andy Kellman of AllMusic wrote, "Her microphone control and wordplay are in top form on 'Nissan Altima,' a swift and booming track where the self-dubbed 'trap Grace Jones' alternately motivates and intimidates with belligerent verses that include a shrugging note of her replacement of a man with a woman." Lily Goldberg of Pitchfork commented, "Heat takes over on 'Nissan Altima,' a standout filled with flavor and filth".
Music video The music video was directed by James Mackel and released alongside the single. It sees Doechii cruising in a Nissan Altima with rappers and fellow TDE labelmates Jay Rock, Ab-Soul and Isaiah Rashad. The car is then towed, but they stay beside it on the bed of the tow truck as Doechii raps.
