On Doechii’s new album Alligator Bites Never Heal, the 26-year-old rapper—who played Amalie Arena as a support act twice in one week last year—tackles the issues that come with her level of fame and presents a big ol’ middle finger to the critics that wish she’d maintain a sound reminiscent of her biggest hit, “What It Is.”
Former president Barack Obama is aware of the Howard Blake High graduate’s material too, so as far as she’s concerned, advice on where to advance her music career is the last thing she needs, especially considering this Tuesday, she plays this surely-triumphant headlining, hometown gig.
Tickets to see Doechii play Crowbar in Ybor City on Tuesday, Nov. 12 are sold-out.
