Kevin Gates is a changed man. He's not one to run from his past, but rather learn from it and grow - these days he's sober, a vegan, and a devoted family man. However, that hasn't meant his music has dropped off; if anything, it's gotten more frequent. He's been hard at work dropping music and accompanying videos in preparation for his new album, I'm Him, out very soon.
Here's five of his best music videos, so you're up to date with what he's been up to.
Facts
Ahead of his new album, I'm Him, Kevin Gates dropped the music video for Facts. It's a video full of Kevin flexing, which he's more than entitled to. We're just jealous of the lifestyle he's living - how do we get involved? The video accompanies bass-heavy production, and Gates' flow will undoubtedly suck you in.
Pride
Pride is one of Gates' heavier songs off his debut album, Islah. The video features his wife and daughter, Islah (who the album is named after) as co-stars, while Kevin raps behind bars, separated from his family. It adds an extra layer to what was already an emotional track.
Time For That
Released back in 2016, Gates appears against a background of a dusty, burned-out building, providing a stark background for the song's lyrics, which talk about fame, identity, sex, and the dating game. It's off his debut album, Islah, which really brought Gates into the spotlight.
Not The Only One
Another one off his debut album, Islah, Not The Only One is a bit of a paradox. In it, Gates raps "I can't be the one you love," which, given how successful his debut album was, clearly wasn't listened to. The video for the song features Gates behind bars, a reference to his past, interlaced with shots of luxury. It's a bridge between his old and new life.
Push It
Push It is full of the energy you'd expect from Kevin Gates, and was a warning shot ahead of the upcoming album. The music video matches his level of intensity, with Gates literally going to war against himself. It's a perfect representation of what he's about, and what we can expect from the album.
