Armed with a pure tenor and a nimbly melodic flow, Taleban Dooda is one of the most promising young artists in the thriving Florida rap scene. Examining his come-up and confronting his demons, Dooda shares Fallen Angel, his debut album. The album probes all aspects of the 19-year-old artist’s psyche, discussing his fractured upbringing in songs like “Broken Soul” and “Heart Turned To Ice,” getting ready for war in hard-hitting trap tracks like the Internet Money-produced “Chopstix II” ft. Tory Lanez and “Sinning,” or splitting the difference on songs like the TM88 & ATL Jacob-produced “Finish Him.“
Embodying the pain and triumph that accompanies the struggle of making it out the hood, the new album capitalizes on a growing momentum that started when Dooda’s debut single “Tru Colors” (included on Fallen Angel as a bonus track) caught fire upon release last January. Bursting with invention and earworm hooks, Fallen Angel gives a home to recently released highlights like “Chosen” ft. T9ine, a gospel-influenced anthem that earned praise from Pitchfork and HipHopDX (who named the song one of the Best Hip-Hop Songs of 2021 So Far) and counts 3 million total streams, and “Trappin Ain’t Dead,” the Helluva-produced Detroit-style anthem with a standout guest spot from 42 Dugg. Featuring additional appearances from Tory Lanez, Yung Bleu, OMB Peezy, and Dee Watkins, Fallen Angel is available to stream everywhere via Green Light Music Group/Rostrum Records.
Taleban Dooda has been steadily building a loyal fanbase over the past year, displaying a natural melodic ability that helps him stand out among street rappers in Florida and beyond. He scored street hits in the first half of the year with “Tru Colors” (over 3 million total streams) and “2 In Da Morning” (1 million views), and turned heads in the fall with standout singles like “Dis Dooda,” which Vice named as one of the 24 Best Songs of September. Dooda recently told his story in a Noisey Next feature with Vice, touching on what it was like growing up in Tampa and his musical inspirations.
With Fallen Angel, Dooda takes his latest step towards establishing himself as a major player in the Southern scene. At just 19, and with tens millions of streams in the bank, this is just the beginning.
