Not discussed as much as other areas, but the New Orleans and surrounding Louisiana hip hop scene has silently dominated the game, as has Miami. Of course, this area is responsible for Lil Wayne and Lil’ Boosie, but there is a new era. This new era is responsible for the likes of Kevin Gates breaking through.
In 2013, Kevin Gates turned heads with the release of The Luca Brasi Story, a project met with critical acclaim. After this project, legal woes kept Kevin Gates from being an active member in the hip hop community. But, his return in 2014 has seen him slowly take over the game.
Kevin Gates recently made a stop at Shade 45 to talk to Sway for “Sway In The Morning.” It was here where Kevin Gates discussed Luca Brasi 2, the follow up to the project he released in 2013. In the interview, Kevin Gates spoke on possibly entering the energy drink business, also.
