Kevin Gates

A well-known rap artist Kevin Gates was born and raised in Louisiana. He was quite a troubled teenager that led to multiple issues with the law. He was first arrested at the age of just 13 for vandalism.

At 15 he got passionate about music and in 2005 started his professional path in that particular industry. He signed a contract with Dead Game Records and together with Webbie and Boosie Badazz released a mixtape called Pack Da Litter in 2007. It was positively accepted by the public and that’s why the artist decided to move further with his career.

However, everything changed in 2008 when he was imprisoned once again and was sentenced for three years. In 2011 he was “free” but all his efforts in terms of music came to naught. Gates didn’t give up and in 2014 introduced a single By Any Means that reached 17th position in the Billboard 200. In addition, that same year, the celebrity presented Luka Brasi 2 with 80.000 copies sold just within the first month. After that, Kevin released two more albums Islah and Luca Brasi 3 that brought him even more fame and recognition.

Today, Gates is known all across the globe not only as a talented rap performer but also MC.
