Kevin Gates "4:30 A.M."

We have all been there--it is the wee hours of the morning and you are still awake, thinking about the skeletons in your closet. This usually happens after a long bender or a sleepless night, when there is no one else to distract you and nowhere left to go. The only thing left to do is give yourself over to your anxieties and ruminate on past vignettes that you'd love to forget. Kevin Gates channels this intense moment to create "4:30 A.M.", where he relays some of his own haunted past. In two minutes and forty seven seconds, Gates tells two of the darkest stories to come from the American South since Flannery O'Connor.
