Book Kevin Gates
Kevin Gates reached number two on the Billboard 200 with his debut studio album, Islah (2016), a record powered by the hits "2 Phones" and "Really Really." The Baton Rouge rapper, singer and songwriter came up alongside fellow Baton Rouge artists Boosie Badazz and Webbie, signing with a local label in 2007 and releasing the mixtapes Pick of Da Litter and All or Nuthin'. His run of mixtapes Stranger Than Fiction (2013), By Any Means (2014) and Luca Brasi 2 (2014) all reached the top 40 of the Billboard 200 and established his raw, confessional style, and he took that momentum on the road with the I Don't Get Tired Tour in 2015. He records through his own Bread Winners' Association in partnership with Atlantic Records. After Islah he released I'm Him (2019), Only the Generals, Part II (2021) and Khaza (2022), followed by The Ceremony (2024), I'm Him 2 (2025) and Lost Files - The Collection (2026). Known for mixing hard street narratives with melodic hooks and candid songs about family and struggle, Gates has kept a large, loyal fan base since the early 2010s.
