After supporting SZA, Doja Cat, and Beyoncé on the road, Top Dawg Entertainment rapper Doechii will headline her own tour supporting her critically acclaimed new mixtape, Alligator Bites Never Heal . Across 12 dates, she’ll hit select cities including Atlanta, Philadelphia, New York, Paris, London, and Berlin. Rolling Stone ‘s four-star review of Alligator Bites Never Heal celebrated it as “one of the year’s very best albums,” writing that the self-proclaimed “Swamp Princess” from Tampa, Florida (where her tour will stop) is “a fully realized artist, with immense technical and curatorial skill.
” In an interview with Rolling Stone , she explained that opening for Doja Cat on the Scarlet tour gave her insight on how to run her own. “I learned just a lot about how a proper tour is supposed to function,” Doechii said. “[Doja Cat] just really let me be myself, and I really, really appreciated that, and I did not take it for granted.
” Born Jaylah Hickmon, Doechii first garnered global eyes with the TikTok smashes “ Yucky Blucky Fruitcake ” and “What It Is (Block Boy).” Ahead of her quickly beloved mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal — her first full-length project — she also released the dance track “Alter Ego” with JT of City Girls and the laidback smokers anthem “Persuasive,” featuring a remix by her labelmate SZA. She recently performed her first collaboration with Katy Perry, “ I’m His, He’s Mine ,” with Perry at the MTV Vi.
