  • The Past Dictates the Present, but We Determine the Future
    The past dictates the present, but we determine the future. By confronting yesterday, learning its lessons, gaining its wisdom, and ultimately moving ahead, Kevin Gates sheds skin and steps into who he was always meant to be for tomorrow on his second full-length album, I’m Him [Breadwinners’ Association/Atlantic Records]. The multi-platinum award-nominated Baton Rouge artist undergoes a personal, spiritual, and creative transformation. It starts with just two simple words… “I’m Him,” he affirms. “All of those negative connotations the world puts out...I’m him. All of those positive connotations the world puts out...I’m him as well. This is the new Kevin verses the old Kevin. It’s a celebration. It’s a rebirth. It’s redemption. I’m overcoming who I used to be in order to be greater.” Kevin keeps pushing forward. Not only does he do so for himself and his family, but he does so for hip-hop. After a string of successful mixtapes since 2007, he ascended to the forefront of the culture on his 2016 double-platinum debut album, ISLAH. In its wake, he emerged as “one of the best-selling hip-hop artists of 2016,” second only to Drake. It bowed at #2 on the Billboard Top 200 and yielded the quadruple-platinum “2 Phones,” triple-platinum “Really Really,” in addition to several platinum and gold certified tracks. Pitchfork lauded it among “Best New Music,” it graced year-end lists by Billboard and Complex, and it garnered a nod for “Best Rap Album” at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards.
