SNTW Exclusive –Baton Rouge emcee Kevin Gates has been rapping since 2007, but it hasn’t been until now, 2014, that he’s gotten the recognition that he deserves. By Any Means, his mixtape released earlier this year, will undoubtedly make many a year-end list with good reason, as it finally put Gates on the industry’s radar at large.
“Reasonable Suspicion” is a new track that samples Reasonable Doubt‘s “Dead Presidents”, Jay Z’s hip-hop classic that takes a lot courage and dexterity to rap over. Yet Gates takes no breathers, spitting without a hook for close to four minutes. If you want a lesson in proficiency in rapping, Listen below, and download Gates’ By Any Means here.
