The controversial, multi-platinum rapper unveils two brand new tracks today – Money Long and Great Man – and announces the release date of Luca Brasi 3, arriving everywhere September 27th.

The announcement comes on the heels of two massive milestones for Gates, a US RIAA Platinum certification for Luca Brasi 2 and a US RIAA Gold certification for By Any Means. Both mixtapes were released in 2014 and received widespread critical acclaim further cementing Gates presence in hip-hop as an undeniable star. The mixtape came prior to Gates’ debut album ISLAH, which received US RIAA Platinum certification the same year it was released, 2016.
The Bread Winners Association MC returned to music earlier this summer with Chained to the City, Gates first release after 15 months of incarceration. On the first week of release, two of the three tracks from Chained To The City made remarkable debuts on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. With Change Lanes and Let It Sing debuting at No. 68 and No. 82, respectively, Gates redeclared he is a major force to be reckoned with. Gates launched Chained To The City with a video by Chicago native Cole Bennett for Change Lanes, which garnered over 1 million views in the first day and has now climbed to nearly 34 million views since its release. Watch Change Lanes HERE.
Most recently, Gates unveiled a new video for Vouch, where he took to the streets of Watts, Los Angeles, proving Gates is welcomed and shown love in any neighborhood. Directed by Julien Soulier, the video features Kevin in his most natural element, connecting with a community of characters including Compton native Demar Derozan, pro NBA player for the San Antonio Spurs.
