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.

Kevin Gates "Roaming Around"

I keep hearing about Kevin Gates. I heard he is a bonafide star in the South and that it is only a matter of time before he blows. I heard a story about how he showed up three hours late to a lunch interview but paid for the interviewers meal to make up for it. I heard he can attract close to 1,000 people to a show, without the backing of a major label. Now, for the first time, I have heard what all the fuss is about. Check out "Roaming Around" below.
