How Kevin Gates Went From Underground To Platinum And Changed The Game

... changing the game. He’s real, raw and is just a beautiful soul all the way around. He is very misunderstood by most. God Blesses those who deserve things and not to mention put in work to get it. This man and his family work their asses off to give the fans what they want. Kevin not only changedid the music Gane but the world in general. My children and I have dealt with depression and the way Kevin talks about it and brings those kind of issues to light has helped not only us but many many people I know get through life and just hard times in general. It’s more than a painfully beautiful feeling when others truly know your pain because they’ve felt it and Kevins wife Dreka, I can’t thank her enough because without her , Kevin wouldn’t be who he is today. She is also anot extremely beautiful soul. God will continue to bless them in anything they do in life because of who they are as people. Congratulations to the Gates and BWA! I pray they only have pure success, Peace, Love and Blessings in life. #idgt #FREEKEVINGATES ❤. By: Holli Diamond Gray. 02.03.2017 @ 12:42 AM. Not only as a ...

Rapper Kevin Gates Waives Extradition To Illinois On Weapons Charges

... Assistant State Attorney Jake Orr. Chicago is in Cook County. To waive extradition means a defendant agrees to return to the jurisdiction where he faces charges without a court hearing to determine whether the transfer is justified. Circuit Judge Kelly Butz ordered him held without bail. Gates, whose real name is Kevin Jerome Gilyard, is wanted on a felony warrant charging him with a weapons offense, issued by the Cook County Sheriff's Office. Gates has a lengthy rap sheet that includes terms in prison and several gun charges from 2013 in Illinois, including aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, according to the Tampa Bay Times. In October, Gates told the six-member County Court jury that he feared being pulled off the stage and he "just kicked at the hands that were grabbing me." He was performing in the Rumors Niteclub, off Memorial Boulevard in Lakeland, in front of a packed audience. Jurors convicted the rapper of the misdeamenor charge. Miranda Dixon testified that she just wanted to touch the multiplatinum recording artist. She reportedly grabbed at Gates' shorts before being kicked. ...

Houston Producer Trakksounds Teams Up With Roosh Williams, Gt Garza

... Roosh Williams, GT Garza and Doeman, names that should be familiar to Houston hip-hop fans. It's from Trakksounds' upcoming album "The Other Side," due April 17. And, yes, it contains explicit language. Put on the headphones if you're at work. "We aren't in it for the quick dollar but more instead of creating something organic that can have replay value," says Garrett Brown, known as Trakksounds. "I also like a lot of styles of music, so you can hear the different influences.". Trakksounds also found a home for that show Fitzgerald so vocally passed on. HEATED EXCHANGE: See the emails from venue owner Sara Fitzgerald. It's scheduled for Saturday at Warehouse Live and features Starlito, Don Trip, Scotty ATL and Doeman. It will serve as an album release party for "The Other Side." Tickets are $20-$50. The album itself features Scarface, Starlito, Dizzy Wright, ASAP Ferg, Kevin Gates, Kam Franklin of The Suffers and Devin The Dude. For those unfamiliar, Brown emailed Fitzgerald's in February about the possible ...

Chance The Rapper Wins Best New Hip-hop Artist At 2017 Iheartradio Music Awards

... The Rapper Wins Best New Hip-Hop Artist at 2017 i Heart Radio Music Awards. Kevin Winter, Getty Images. Chance The Rapper continues to reap the rewards of an ultra-successful 2016, taking home the trophy for Best New Hip-Hop Artist at the 2017 i Heart Radio Music Awards. Kevin Gates, Desiigner, D. R. A. M. and Kent Jones were other rappers in contention for the trophy. The ascendant Chano, who also took home two Grammys just a few weeks ago, has been one of the busiest artists in the rap game–and, given his multi-dimensional skillset and aspirations, rightfully so. Last week, the “No Problem” performer met with the I llinois Governor Rauner  to discuss ways to improve the education system in his home state. Although he didn’t seem to think too much ground was gained during the meeting, it was a move in the right direction. About a week before he met with Governor Rauner, Chano linked with DJ Khaled , Migos, Justin Bieber and Lil Wayne to shoot a video for an upcoming mega-banger for Khaled’s forthcoming Grateful album. Around that same time, the Acid Rap MC appeared in an extensive interview session with Yahoo’s ...

Everyone Likes Drake And I Have No Idea Why

... of personality. Drake doesn’t have that. Even that wouldn’t be so bad if he wasn’t so arrogant about his place in the rap world. Again, he wants the sales, but he also wants to be considered the best: “I know I said top five, but I’m top two, and I’m not two and I got one,” as he states on “Gyalchester.” But he doesn’t have the bars or the chops—at least not consistently—to be the best. “Y’all n*s is arrogant, y’all sleep at the Sheraton/All that shit embarrassing”? Embarrassing is right. Heck, he doesn’t even have the voice. Drake’s sing-songy flow isn’t a main course, it’s a condiment. He seems to be aware of this too, as on More Life he drops out of entire tracks. Can you be the best rapper alive when you hardly, you know, rap. By now though, Drake is capital F famous, and what he does—or what he says—is less important than who he is. In a sense, Drake is the Trump of rappers ( I’m not the first to make this comparison ). He ignored virtually all of the generally accepted rap tropes and just went about building an audience off a Weezy co-sign, pro-quality mixtapes and well-placed features (not to mention ...

Kevin Gates Will Be Released From Jail Later This Month

... to jail today for the same crime.”. You mean to tell me that @iamkevingates kicked the girl in the red jumpsuit and knocked the breathe out her? Because that's what she's been claiming and testified today in court. If anything her friend choked the fuck out of her. She claims she fainted, but yet she and her friend stayed at the club at the front of the stage even after this incident. She also acquired a civil attorney early on.what does that tell you? She also touched him FIRST (more than once) without his consent but yet he was the one sentenced to jail today for the same crime. She and her friend also had very conflicting stories and were tripped up in many lies today in the courtroom. It was comical and sad at the same time to see how desperate people are for fame and money. Not to mention the prosecutors wanted to give him 60 days with anger management and community service but yet the judge decided to give him 180 days?!? Are you fucking kidding me. Inshallah justice will be served. #unjust #fuckery #polkcounty #smfh by the way, thanks for taking my husband away from our kids (sarcasm) #itsnotoverjustyet. A ...

Polk Judge Denies 'stand Your Ground' Defense By Rapper Kevin Gates

... that a misdemeanor battery charge against him be dismissed. Lawyers for Gates argued last week that the charge against him for kicking a fan at a club in Lakeland during a performance should be dropped based on Florida's "stand your ground" law. But County Judge Sharon Franklin wrote that Gates' kick was not a justified action in response to Miranda Dixon grabbing his shorts twice. "While a simple act of touching or pushing someone without his or her consent may amount to simple battery, the Court finds that such a minor act does not necessarily rise to such a level as to justify the use of force in return," Franklin wrote. Stand your ground allows people to defend themselves with deadly force if they face an imminent threat, death or great bodily injury. In the five-page order, Franklin wrote that Dixon's testimony was more believable and Gates' testimony was "troubling in terms of his credibility.". At the hearing, Gates, whose real name is Kevin Jerome Gilyard, described how there was no one on stage with him that night. But Franklin said a video showed there were at least seven other men and a child on stage. "Defendant testified that he is ...

Life Without Technology Is A Wake-up Call

... president Donald Trump’s latest tweets.  How else was I supposed to know the news of the day? Sad! I had grown accustomed to the bombarding news notifications on my phone, so the lack thereof felt very distressing. Not to mention, I had no idea what to do with my lonely hands. There was nothing to hold anymore.  When I walked around on campus, I actually had to look up and register my surroundings. For five days, I did not run into anything or anyone for that matter.  I even got to say “hi” to people that I have not seen in very long time. Without Tapingo, precious minutes of my day were wasted while standing and waiting in the Chick-fil-A lunch line. Making matters worse, I had to stand in that long line without any means of technology to pass the time. I had to walk down four flights of stairs, only to find out that there were zero open washing machines. This happened numerous times ...
