Florida rapper Taleban Dooda returns with the blistering mixtape, Step Wit A Passion via District 18/Warner Records. His second project since signing with a major label showcases the breadth of his talent and confirms his status as one of the most exciting newcomers in the game. To celebrate the release, Dooda drops a video for standout cut “If It Happen It Happen.” 

Built around an infectious guitar line, “If It Happen It Happen” demonstrates Dooda’s melodic, sing-song flow. The MC outlines where he comes from, shouting out people that helped him pursue his destiny in the cutthroat rap world, which he describes as “swimming with the sharks.” Dooda promises that he’s up to the task, warning: “You eat or you get eaten.” 

The accompanying “If It Happen It Happen” video begins with Dooda stunting on the steps of a luxurious mansion — the stone walkway he’s lounging on confirming his leap from hot commodity to a certified star. That’s also reflected in the rapper’s thick gold chain and assortment of flashy sports cars. Other mixtape highlights include “Revenge,” “Toxic,” “Tough Guy,” and “Walking Dead.” 

The new project follows Dooda’s other 2022 project White Chalk & Yellow Tape, which is similarly cohesive from front to back. That hard-hitting collection included “It’s Me,” a series of verbal vignettes from the MC’s past over piano notes and a minimal drum beat, and “Go” — a track that takes aim at “social beef.” With Step Wit A Passion, Dooda levels up, showing off his skills and insatiable ambition
