My bad yall. I understand both of you cats point and i kind of flew off the handle. I want to see him have a successful career and wouldnt mind seeing him bring his style to the forefront myself. I just think he way too raw for the type of exposure people are expecting when they say "blow up". I can't lie Gates had some songs that could've been mainstream if he had the proper push (Neon Lights, Satellites, Just Ride) Hell Just Roaming could've been a hit.



His artist Percy Keith go hard too but like Gates he just way too hard for the mainstream


U cool but that was gonna be my reason for Gates not blowing like that nikka music wayyy to street, he a be a hood legend fasho but far as the corporate world he would have to change or dumb down his lyrics.

He's cool. But I can't get into his stuff like that. Do people on here see this guy blowing up. I know he's getting a push
all it takes is one accessible single & the atlantic machine should push him.

i was surprised satellites wasnt the one but im almost positive that was released just before he signed with Atlantic & they did what they could with it after he signed

True but shyt it seems like thats how it is for every rapper who really street.

Colombia by Young Scooter was:blessed:

And barely got any buzz.

shyt shoulda been one of the top rap songs in 2013 and ppl outside of Atlanta barely even know it.

is Gates living in Atlanta? I heard he relocated there..Like someone else said he just need the right single to take off, he has the push and everything he just need that one song and get people checking him out.

a friend showed me IDGAF last year and Ive been hooked since, I played that shyt for my mom in the car one time and when he mentioned Massachusetts she was like :myman: and then started bopping her head lol

I think his voice kinda throws people off but once you get used to it, it just add this more grimy element to his music (kinda like Lil Bibby)

I thought he been locked up since around New Years. Some of my dogs went to the show he had in Mississippi and I think he got arrested shortly after. I heard he was upstate but I could be wrong
