01. Grandmotha Grave 02:30
As an artist, you've got to know yourself and your own vision
first and foremost. Kevin Gates certainly does. The Baton Rouge-
based rapper doesn't pull any punches, and his honesty fuels
everything he does. More importantly, you can get to know him
very well just by listening to what he's got to say on tape.Rap
felt like destiny for him from a very young age. In a house with
stacks of records and CDs, he became engaged by the likes of
Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, and The Notorious
B.I.G. as a child. Watching music videos religiously, the
burgeoning MC would then perform for his aunts and uncles during
family gatherings. "I'd emulate what I saw on TV," he recalls.
"I'd pretend like I was a rapper for my family. I just knew that
this is what I was meant to do. I never questioned it. I felt
that for as long as I can remember."In 2004, he entered a local
studio for the very first time and started professionally
recording. Three years later, he dropped his breakout debut
mixtape, Pick Of Da Litter. As he passed out thousands of CDs
around the area, his buzz started to spread like wildfire and he
began playing multiple shows per week. Shortly after, he
unleashed the 2008 hit "Get in the Way" featuring Lil Boosie,
developing a devout national following in the process. However,
in the aftermath of the track's success, Gates faced
incarceration until 2011."When I got out, my fan base had
strangely grown," he admits. "It was so crazy to me. Once I came
home, I knew that I had to just focus on the music. I practically
never left the studio after that. It was all about recording and
making more songs."Gates also took the opportunity to found his
very own record label, Bread Winners Association, in 2011. As a
banner for his movement, the company touts an important ethos for
the artist that courses through all of his output. "Bread Winners
Association was always an idea," he says. "I got serious with it
upon being reinserted into society. This is the way I see it. If
you're making money and supporting yourself or your family,
you're a Bread Winner. It's not about how much money you make.
It's about hustling to survive for a better life for yourself and
the people you love. It also means, 'Be what you are'. The
biggest quote for me is Shakespeare's 'To thine own self be
true'. That's my philosophy. If I'm in a situation, it has to
feel like me."He upheld that even when offered a deal with Young
Money Entertainment in 2012. Gates respectfully (and famously)
passed, having been inspired by Cash Money Records co-founder
Birdman's own story of "taking twenty years" to build a brand. He
took it to heart and wholeheartedly pursued his own path. 2013
saw him make waves a few times with The Luca Brasi Story, which
Rolling Stone dubbed "One of the 20 Best Hip Hop Albums of 2013",
and an incendiary feature on Pusha T's "Trust You". That year,
Stranger Than Fiction put Gates on the map once again, boasting
cameos by Wiz Khalifa and Juicy J and garnering unanimous praise
from Pitchfork, The Fader, Complex, and Spin. However, 2014's By
Any Means raised the bar even higher for Gates. Unflinchingly
real, he delivers razor sharp verses with intricate wordplay as
well as hard, yet hypnotic hooks. Once again, he attracted
everybody from Plies ["Keep Fucking With Me"] and Rico Love ["Go
Hard"] to 2 Chainz ["Bet I'm On It"] and the late, legendary Doe
B ["Amnesia"] to the studio. About the latter, he goes on, "When
I met Doe B, we had instant chemistry. It's like I had known him
my whole life. It was immediate and so real".Meanwhile, "Arm &
Hammer" swings from ominous production into rough rhymes before
colliding on an anthemic and gruff verse. Simultaneously, "Don't
Know" showcases his penchant for a powerful and passionate
melody. "People can get different things from it," he explains.
"It's like a movie. You can picture it and get your own story.
When I listen to music, it captures a moment. I hope it's that
way for everybody else."By Any Means also solidified him as a
21st century heavyweight. Upon release, it nearly doubled the
first-week sales of Stranger Than Fiction, landing at #17 on the
Billboard Top 200 and #3 on the Current Rap Albums Overall Chart.
With his partnership between Bread Winners Association and
Atlantic Records in place, Gates sees even bigger things in
store. "This alliance between us is great," he continues.
"Atlantic allows me to embrace new challenges like stepping
outside of myself and out of my comfort zone. That's encouraged
me to be a better songwriter and artist. Having my own label, I
wanted to learn how to successfully run a label. Why not learn
from one of the most successful in the game?"Ultimately though,
it always remains about the same thing for Gates--the music. He
leaves off, "It feels good when people appreciate my art in its
entirety. That makes me feel great. I want everyone to experience
this in its entirety. Other than that, I don't have any
complaints. As long as I can record, I'm okay. That's all that
matters."
