As he was just entering adulthood, Roy Woods became acquainted with Drake’s manager Oliver El-Khatib via Instagram.

Almost a decade later, the 27-year-old is signed to Champagnepapi’s label OVO Sound, which just released his third studio album Mixed Emotions, and effort that sees Woods asking a woman what the hell is up with the mental abuse, coming to grips with becoming a father, and how his priorities have shifted from when he was younger.

The last time Woods was in Tampa was opening for his label boss at a 2016 gig at Amalie Arena, and though we can’t say for sure that’ll be the deal when Drake and J. Cole co-headline Amalie next year, this intimate gig in Ybor City is still pretty close.
