Bread Winners’ Association/Atlantic recording artist and 2014 XXL Freshman Kevin Gates released his latest mixtape, “BY ANY MEANS,” earlier this year and it has quickly proven among the most acclaimed hip-hop releases of 2014. BY ANY MEANS has not only garnered major critical acclaim, but it also marked Gates’ strongest chart debut to date. The collection is highlighted by such buzz tracks as “Arm and Hammer,” “Don’t Know,” and the new emotionally charged single “Posed To Be In Love” (watch video here: http://youtu.be/Sc5DZPdlTzE). Gates is currently on a national headline tour dubbed the “BY ANY MEANS Tour.” For more information, please visit www.kvngates.com.
