Rihanna albums typically dont do huge first week numbers. They usually just keep pumping out singles and her album stays on the charts for months and months racking up sales.
1st Week Sales: Kevin Gates: 75-80k (80-85k w/ streams) Rihanna: 95-105k (120-130k w/ Streams)

Altho I will say I don't feel Gates has progressed all that much from Luca Bras1 it's great seeing a artist you fuk with get his shine. True Grind
I knew he should do well when my Homegirl said she downloaded damn near the whole album
Seem like he got the LHH female audience attention

Yup. Gate's rise was similar to Boosie's in that he's been a big artist around Louisiana/Texas/Mississippi for a really long time. It just took that major label consign to push him over the edge.
He's definitely no plant or overnight sensation.
