Drake to the genre of gangsta rap, Louisiana-based MC KEVIN GATES
SPENT FIVE-plus years on the mixtape circuit before climbing into the
Top 40 of the Billboard 200 with his 2013 release, Stranger Than
Fiction. The gruff but lyrical MC narrowly missed the top of the chart
in 2016 with his proper debut album, the platinum-certified Islah, and
routinely hit the upper reaches of the Billboard 200 with 2016-2018
volumes in his mixtape series Murder for Hire, By Any Means, and Luca
Brasi. Born and raised in Baton Rouge, KEVIN JEROME GILYARD MADE HIS
MIXTAPE DEBUT IN 2007 WITH PICK OF DA LITTER. Mixtapes with titles
like All In and I Don't Know What to Call It, Vol. 1 appeared over the
next few years. After he dropped the popular The Luca Brasi Story
mixtape -- one of the first releases on Bread Winners' Association, a
label he co-founded with wife and booking manager Dreka GATES --
things changed quickly. It led to appearances on high-profile mixtapes
from Pusha T and Gudda Gudda, and GATES SUBSEQUENTLY SIGNED A CONTRACT
WITH MAJOR-label Atlantic. Stranger Than Fiction, the first of several
releases to bear the logos of Bread Winners' Association and Atlantic,
was released that same year. It featured guest spots from Wiz Khalifa,
Juicy J, and Starlito, and debuted at number 37 on the Billboard 200
chart. Plies, 2 Chainz, and Doe B helped deliver his 2014 mixtape, By
Any Means. The next year saw the single "Kno One" preview Islah.
GATES' PROPER DEBUT ALBUM, it was issued in January 2016 and debuted
at number two, and only five months later was followed with an
EP-length mixtape, Murder for Hire II. Islah was certified platinum in
August. The single "What If," whose main hook referenced Joan
Osborne's 1995 hit "What If God Was One of Us," appeared in March
2017. The track appeared on By Any Means 2, which was released in
September while GATES WAS SERVING A PRISON SENTENCE. After his release
in early 2018, he issued the EP Chained to the City and the single
"How We Livin'." Luca Brasi 3 became GATES' THIRD TOP FIVE FULL-length
project upon its September arrival. Several non-album singles
including "Therapy Sh*t 4," "Big Gangsta," and "Yukatan" followed in
2019. Official Website: https://www.kvngates.com
